Drawing
an end to this project and my degree, it has been a joyful and challenging
experience. During this project and previous years at university, my skills as
a surface pattern designer have significantly developed and expanded into a
number of areas. This project has allowed me to become confident in my style
but also has opened my mind, pushed me further and has allowed me to become
diverse in my work. Unit X has been a
successful project, where my concept shines through into designs allowing it to
reach the perfect target market.
My
sophisticated Floral collection has the one were my passion for intricacy and
detail was able to come through, showing the end user the beauty of nature and
florals through drawing. I was able to conduct a series of prints, where my
interpretation of florals could be seen, giving my work a contemporary but
traditional look. I did face problems in producing a large quantity of drawings
due to them being time consuming, however, being organised and planning what
actually needed to be produced for unit x allowed me to not waste time and
produce design that were needed. The effect of keeping original hand drawn
style within the work, made my designs original and using monochromatic style
with subtle colours, gave life and an atmosphere to the room. Also being able
to showcase this collection within the duvet market has shown the range, which
my style of work can go to. This collection contrasted with my indefinite
nature collection, due to blasts of colour being used. I felt working with
colour within digital design was difficult, however through being to practice
within the previous unit, I was able to positively complete this collection to
a satisfying level. Precise Florette collection revealed another way I was able
to introduce floral into wallpaper, through photographic images. I was very
pleased with my end results for this collection. Being able to style and
arrange florals was something new to me and I challenge which I enjoyed.
Having
the opportunity to be able to work within the area of teaching has also been a
successful experience, which I wish to further do after my time at university.
This unit has allowed me to fulfil my passion for teaching and designing, and I
hope I will be able to further utilise the skills I have been taught within my
future career.
