Gifted Competition

Finally submitted my entry for the Gifted competition by Tigerprint. The chance to have my designs in M & S really made me excited and has me think about creating more things for high end stores. For the competition I chose to design christmas cards using my own unique designs. I looked at the organic things associated with christmas, adding my personal touch including pattern.

I really hope to do well and they like my designs! Fingers crossed! : )

Were going on a Gorilla hunt. . . .

Las Iguanas

Yesterday I went gorilla hunting in Bristol for The Wow Gorilla's, as I set of with my family and dog. I thought that it would be a lot sunnier and warmer as it was a lovely sunny morning and I felt a bit silly wearing a dress and nearly shivering by the end of the day.

Although i was cold the gorillas were great we found 21 out of 60 but we were limited to find the others as we were only walking with a very excited beagle and didn't have a map.

Gorilla 24#

My favourites was  'Las Iguanas' (About the design: Based on the natural flow of the Gorillas body the design is a cocktail of baroque swirls and leylines set on a Ibizan sunset fade. Found at the Grove) and Gorilla 24#. However they were all well designed and thought about and decorated beautifully. Its a shame that some people have already started to vandalise them. Hopefully I'll have some time to see the rest.

I would love to do this kind of work, where i decorate a animal sculpture for a good cause. So i'll be looking out for future opportunities.

Back From New Designers

After exhibiting for 4 days in London I am so pleased of my work and how everyone else in my course did.

The show looked very professional and it only took 2 hours for us to set. The other exhibitors around us was very impressed some took 2 days to set up. One of old college friends was right next to us which was nice surprise. As a group I think we overcome a lot of things and esspecially proud how our press packs ended up as they were just blank cds (thanks dan).

I had quite a few admires and we're surprised by my difference of work between my two projects. I eventually plucked up the courage to talk to people, and really enjoyed the imput and opinions of the public. I have a few emails to send and things to update, hopefully things will develop to more exciting news. Maybe even designing for Wilkinsons!
