Today I visited Digetex, I liked seeing who we were designing for.

They had a vast collection of prints and did not only design for wallpaper but a wide range of clients.

After picking up a few of their samples I realised that they were into detailed designs, often using drawing elements within their prints something that I also like to try and use in my own work.

Project no.2-Locating

I was really excited about this project because of the prospect of working towards 'live briefs'

I have chosen the Digitex brief and my theme is the 1950s

Starting to plan out my boards to show my journey for this project....

Final Collection for Intentions project....

My time in Rome...

At the end of the Summer I visited Rome, and was really inspired by the historic and beautiful architecture. It made me really appreciate architecture something I had never really been that interested in before.

Personal Evaluation.

Unit X has been a whole new experience for me, I really have enjoyed the challenging development of the project. It was nice to work as part of a group and we were lucky to get along well and remain professional when it came to any disagreements. When we discovered that the outcome would be a film it felt very daunting, but we worked to our strengths and learnt a lot of new skills within film. 

It was a different way of working compared to all of the other projects, but I can definately say we dedicated alot of hours to our final outcome and are all really pleased/relieved! with the outcome. 

I enjoyed not working within the limits of a sketchbook and having the freedom to explore our own ideas and do our own research.
I really enjoyed exploring texture and dyeing my own fabrics for sampling, I felt that the project flowed very well, and I am really pleased with our final film. 

This week we have been in uni as a group from 10am until 7pm! We have put lots of hours in to make sure we are all happy with our final film.

We had lots of edits of the film(on group blog) and realised the problems with trying to combine files between MACs and laptops!

Monday; We started trying to collaborate all of the filming we had done over the project, we soon realised this was too difficult, we had too much variation in filming and our ideas behind the project were not clear enough.

Tuesday ;we focused alot on making it clearer and using the parts that we thought best represented our project.

We thought the projection work and our drawing film portrayed our project well. 

The whole editing process was very exhausting but we are slowly seeing the end result.

We always had the idea of a 'hidden' element to our project and so at the start of the week we did envisage projecting our film onto a shirt. But after experimenting, we found that the quality of the film would not be as clear, and so we had to abandon this idea.
