Well... short of handing in my dissertation proposal (which is written) that's college as good as finished this year!! I have handed in my final module and feel reasonably pleased with what I have achieved. Of course as I put it altogether to display finally and finish up my sketch book I can see loads of ideas emerging and things I wold do differently or in addition, or better in some places... that's the nature of the beast - its very much an ongoing journey -still lots of ideas for next year!!!
I have handed in a week early and have worked hard over the last few weeks to make up the time lost next week so technically I have still put the hours in, but now wish I had time to experiment with tassle making and 3D dogs heads - this is exactly what I mean - always something to add on if there was more time!!!
I have really enjoyed working confidently with Photoshop - never thought I'd be writing that!!! I had a lot of false starts - some nice designs emerging but nothing that really spoke to me - again all part of the process and eventually the ideas came to fruition.. I've learnt loads more about digital design and I have been able to put my digital designs into practical products. I have made two cushions and two lampshades - found the new wallpaper for my dining room and I have a lots of ideas churning about centre on using the laser cutter next year!!!
I would have done one or two bits differently but there were some (resolved) issues with printing the fabric which required positive focused problem solving - ha ha and I reduced my rather grand ideas of very ornate box cushions to simpler flatter cushions - they are still lovely though!! I really love my dogs heads fabric and the lampshades that match (see earlier posts) and I'm hoping some of my fabric designs get picked for the stand The Northern School of Art have a the the Mood Trade fair... cant imagine that these designs are particularly commercially viable but it would just be nice to know they were out there trying!!
