My Degree Results are in and I'm very pleased to announce I have graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in Textiles and Surface design - never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would do so well when so much of the course work involved technology and computer aided design!!!!
Anyone who has followed this blog will understand the ups and downs, tears and faffing I have had getting to grips with Photoshop - sheer determination made me keep going plus as I got more confident I realised just how much making use of CAD could enhance my work and how mastering it became a personal challenge!!!
So it is done - I have overcome an incredible amount of technology and my slamitinRubystarrs brain is full - but this is not quite the end yet. I have been fortunate to be nominated for NextGen Awards Premier Vision - this is a chance to be seen by all the 'right' people in the design industry - quite who the 'right' people are I'm not entirely sure but it is a fabulous opportunity and I am going to make the best use of it.
I has meant the down time I have allotted to redecoration is once again on hold (and Dr Fred is quite pleased about that I think) and I am busy putting together some boards to illustrate the highlights of my final years work.
Its quite good fun putting it all together again - but if I am completely honest I am getting a bit fed up of seeing all the same work yet again!!! And trying to present it in a fresh interesting way is hard when it has become so familiar and been the mainstay of imagery in my brain for the last few months - however I'm really liking some of the placements that are developing and I can even see new very funky scarf designs developing or at least ideas about how the next collection might be put together.
With the 'pressure' off and the confidence of a first result - the world might be at my feet - 😂😂 I just need to apply myself.
