I've been very busy since the last time I posted... about a year and a half ago now...and a lot has changed! I moved to Cleveland College of Art and Design last summer to complete my degree in Textiles and Surface Design, and have learned so much and many fantastic opportunities have opened up for me!
Firstly, I have decided to peruse designing for interiors after trying my hand at all market areas including fashion, interiors and gift. This was after completing three 8 week projects on each, allowing me to fully understand the design process for each specialism.
Secondly, for the interiors project we had the amazing opportunity to worked with the well renowned trend forecasting company: Trend Bible and my work was selected to be featured in their Autumn/ Winter 2014/15 trend forecasting book! Trend Bible's books are sent globally to many brands, twice a year. This was very exciting and I was delighted to have been featured within the book.
Finally, my last project for second year (individual options) lead to the production of my first ever wallpaper length!
For my Individual Options project my theme was 'Clash'. I explored clashing many unusual objects, colours and techniques together. The inspiration for this project mainly came from my visit to Las Vegas, where i saw many themes and bizarre objects thrown together to make something eye catching.
This Ostrich ornament is the perfect example of the weird and wonderful objects I am talking about.
.This is my mood board and sketchbook page of inspiration for 'Clash'.
