Camouflage?

Camouflage is used so that you blend in with objects, surroundings, so that it is harder to be spotted, when someone says camouflage you may think, the army or any sort of military force. Where did it come from and how did it all start.

Well its more then just military, its nature too, for e.g a tiger's stripes, a butterfly disguised as a leaf, a stick insect as a stick etc

Then you have your famous Military Camouflage, what Camouflage is best know for.

The Camouflage Brief

We have been asked to create our own personal Camouflage, the Camouflage shoud contain shapes that represent me and my own identity. This should come from my timeline of 5 objects that represent me, for e.g mobile phones, consoles, glasses etc anything that has 5 incarnations or generations.

Its an open brief because it doesnt have to relate to the military or associate with it in any shape or form. Once i have created my pattern, either hand rendere or digitally made i will select one of my objects and cover it with my camouflage, wrap it, stencil it, paint it however but cover it.

Should be fun, lets see how it goes.
