Drawing For Design

Here I have included all my final drawing sheets from my last module over the last 7 weeks. I think my drawing skills and application of media has improved so much. I think some sheets work a lot better than others but overall I am happy with the way I have worked in this module.

I love the Iridescent trend and I love how you can see where the inspiration for it has come from. I think it really helps new designers to look at everything around them for inspiration. 

Palm Springs S/S13

Again I really like this trend as you can see the inspiration has come from such a wide range of sources, I love how they have looked at buildings and colour to source the start of the trend. 

Cath Kidston

Cath Kidston is one of the most famous textiles designers around, her creation of 'modern vintage' took the world by storm. I love the femininity of her prints and I think it also translates beautifully on to gift. The images below show just how diverse her designs are and how they can be used on anything. I love the innocence of the prints and the soft colours she uses.
