Laser cut card designs

These are my Laser Cut card designs that I completed in my cad module. I am happy with the floral designs as I could see them being used in a real life gift wrap and stationary designs.I feel that the neutral colour palette works very well and the central composition on each of the cards works well in he square format.
Ideally I would have liked to have done a coloured design and made some gift tags too but this is something I will look to do in the future.

Scarf designs printed on fabric

My designs have finally been printed onto fabric, they still need to be pressed and hemmed, but I am overwhelmed with the outcome.
The colours look so much more vibrant on this fabric, and it's amazing to see my designs come to life. Wow!

Arthropod design colour ways

These are the colour way options for my favourite scarf design: Arthropod.
kingfisher
droplet
bloom
nightfall
I am very happy with all of the colour way options and i am happy that I chose kingfisher as the design to be printed and i feel that the blue background stands out against the orange border, and blend with the blue mid-tones between the flowers

Apium scarf design colour ways

These are the colour way options I have created for the Apium scarf design.
macaroon
cream soda
citrus rind
powder room
I selected Macaroon to be printed onto fabric and I feel the turquoise background ties everything together and really gives the scarf a feel of spring/ summer.
I love all of the colour way options for this scarf and found it very hard to choose the final colour way to be printed.

Business cards

These are the first draft print outs of the business I am currently designing to brandmyself as a designer.
I love the design I have picked as it is one of my own, and feel that the colour option i have select works very well.
I do feel that the text is a little hard to read and think I will be changing this in the future.

New England Interiors - work placement

This week I have been working at an interior design company in Gosforth.
Whilst there I have had some amazing experiences, visiting clients homes to invision their interior design style and looking through the amazing sample books that they hold at the store.
I was also able to help put together a display window in the week that I was there, although it wasn't entirely finished when i left, this is what was put together. The intention was for a unisex bedroom for a child.

Final Scarf Designs


So I'm coming to the end of my liberty scarf module and I am completely happy with the final designs I have made. I feel they express the original trend that I set for myself of bugs and florals. I feel that i have created two entirely different scarves, for different seasons that the customer would be willing to purchase both. I have named the designs Arthropod and Apium based on latin words relating to insects as I feel it gives a luxurious label to my products.
I am very happy with each of the colour palettes for each scarf as i feel that the colours work very well together. The arthropod design, the design on the bottom is my favourite as I love the border and the amount of deatil in the design. I also love the beetle and the geometrics in the centre.
