First Week

Throughout the first week we were set the task of going around Leeds doing sketches and taking photos of different architectural elements that appeal to us. I focused mainly on the different patterns and decorations on the buildings, rather than the overall places, as I feel the little details create charm and character to a place, and so are more interesting to look at. 

New Beginnings - The 50s and Modernism

New Beginnings - The 50s and Modernism is the title of my first brief. This project will last 6 weeks, and will involve visual research, design, and technical aspects of print and dye sublimation. By the end of the project I am expected to have created at least one design printed on fabric/paper, which could either be a headscarf or wallpaper sample, and it must contain some influence from the 50s period and be based around my visual research. 

I've started this critical journal to document and evaluate the progression of my work throughout my time at Leeds College of Art studying Printed Textiles & Surface Pattern Design.
