capture the moment

As part of my new project i have to engage with the outside world so i can get my design work to be noticed. I am going to be entering competitions, looking for work experience and frequently updating my blog, by doing these i hope to receive some form of feedback on my work.

One of the competitions is with Beta fashion and Asos. I am to design some prints based on inspirational images. i feel the themes are tie dye, summer days and inks swirls in water.

I'v collected some of my own imagery to help me be creative.

Digital Print

For the past three weeks at uni i chose to do Digital Print for supporting study. It has been a very intense and quick project which has challenged my time keeping and abilities as a designer to generate and develop designs quickly.

I used photography of lights and flowers for my main inspiration to draw from, then building layers of my images together to create patterns.

I think that although the collection is quite different as there is a mix between flat images and more 3-D ones, it works well together by having a similar colour palette.

I would appreciate any comments or feedback on my work, it would be extremely helpful as a student in the real world :)
