Degree Show...


Well its finally all over, degree show is now finished and all that is left is results in a weeks time! The degree show was really a mix of emotions, some days with great feedback and some good interest others that weren't as productive. Iv'e had interest in my work from Paul Davey at Lilys Designs, who I will hopefully be doing work for his home as well as some great interest and i'm hoping further work via robertafulford, commercial interior design company. Heres my show, I had work downstairs in the foyer are and upstairs as part of the textiles show.

Double Exposure...

I have recently com across the website http://honestlywtf.com/ but that websites needs a whole post to its self!!1 anyway whilst wasting some wonderful time on there I came across some beautiful double exposure photographs by Doug Keyes!






These images are really beautiful and I think my next design move might be getting a disposable camera and trying out some double shots. Keep an eye out and we shall see how it goes.

Floral Designs...

These are some designs that I was working on right up to the end of uni, they took me a very long time to get to grips with. After working a lot with photography, clean line and geometric shapes, to the be told I should design with organic shapes and florals was a bit of a shock to the system. It took me quite a bit of time to find a way of using florals that I like as i'm not really a very girly floral person. These are a few of the final designs that I became more happy with and 1 even made it into my portfolio for assessment!
