3rd Year Inspire Me Papers Project

 This project was set to me and my class by Inspire Me Papers. We were asked to select 6 papers out of the companies range and create a collection of four scrap book papers using our own pattern designs. These are the papers I chose to work with from the Inspire Me collection.


Using these colours I created the four scrap book papers above for my final collection. I based the papers on a picnic theme displaying picnic food and drink, a strawberry repeat, mushrooms and ladybirds.
I then went on to create stationary to accompany my scrap book papers. I made a note book with features of my papers throughout the pages. I added ring pulls on the book ties for a finishing touch.
(me looking very nervous after my assessment with the Inspire Me Papers company) I also made ruler designs and sticker sheets to complete my stationary pack! I was very happy with the results as this was only a 2 week project straight after the summer!

Graham and Brown Wallpaper Project 2nd Year

This is my wallpaper design for the project assigned to us by the company Graham and Brown during my 2nd year at uni. I chose to work on a floral design and selected a light grey, charcoal and black colour scheme along with bright pink, purple and lime green. I chose these bright colours to really stand out against the darker background and make this a more exciting design!

2nd Year Dream Project



These are some of the drawings for my second year personal project. The project was based on dreams and worked towards creating a design for a pyjama set.With these images I tried to display dreams turning into nightmares by drawing the good turning bad. E.g. fresh flowers dying and becoming surrounded by thorns, butterflies changing to moths and a dream catcher turning into a spiders web. I went on to colour these images using the same theme. I selected bright colours for the dream images which gradually became more dark and menacing for the nightmares. I really like the detail in these images and the meaning behind them! hope you do too :)
