A year in the life of⦠turned 2 today!
The top picture is my proposal for my installation at the BCU Gradshow, part ofĀ āInspired Festivalā Birmingham City University at the Parkside Campus. The sketch shows the A-board which is at least 3 metres high by approximately 2 metres wide. I planned to cover it completely with one of the patterns from the New YorkĀ ālooking downā pattern range. The one I picked was āNY Manhole Linearā, a finely drawn patterns composed of three different manhole covers in differing sizes, together with a piece of rubbish. This was repeated not using a standard half-drop repeat. However, the rotation worked, and I now have seven unique repeat patterns in four subtle but exciting colourways.

Notes from my sketchbook with original research on the subject of New York for my Major Project.
Designs for the Major Study Project are shown above. As preliminary sketch work and photographs are at sketchbook stage for a few more weeks, it is mostly the finished design work I am working on as there are so many of them to complete with each one having four different colourways, and a branding guideline for the book. There will also be card and fabric printing, so plenty to work on. So for the moment, the design sheets remain in the A3 and A4 sketchbooks⦠Finally, a taster for the New York Pattern Book ā a hardback A4 landscape reference book for designers to use with a smattering of lighthearted historical facts and figures. This is a book for the english lady or gentlemen who appreciates colour, form and design.
Evaluation
For the Major Project I wanted to show the breadth of my abilities within art and design craft. My strengths are in āideasā, and in the production of craft-based work within a range of designs in a project. This New York project would be an ideal subject to explore and redefine works within one subject. The initial approach was to record as many subjects about New York as possible, starting with taking photographs around New York City, and writing notes during the seminar we were invited to at Chermayeffās Studio in the city.
The idea came to me that as I felt we were in such as busy place that I was safer taking photographs looking down at the ground. This meant I was taking photos of gutters, pavements, litter, fire hydrants, et.. This also grew out of insecurity that my rented SLR camera may be grabbed from my neck. As I reviewed my photographs each evening, I realised that the beauty of the mundane items was growing important when I saw the beautiful patterns I had captured in the manhole covers on the streets. I saved the digital files and cut them out, and when carried on taking photos of items I saw from the ground upwards. When I got back to the UK I did some research on the background and manufacture of all of the items I liked the most Including the Yellow Taxis, the Manhole Covers, Fire Hydrants, Tree Paving, Empire State (details), Fifth Avenue, Central Park, etc. The idea came to me to produce a book based upon the patterns I saw during my stay, and a visual map of the journey and the time we spent as a group as a chronological record which would stay with me, and be a good graphic communication to use as a guide to others visiting the city.
I allowed myself four weeks to produce the seven patterns I liked the most and the ones which had the most potential to relate to patterns which would be interesting and unusual enough to appeal to young people (the visual map); and to the business entrepreneur in interiors or graphic design (the pattern book), to use as a resource aid for them to produce items for sale. I interviewed John Hall, one of the exhibition organisers as he has a business designing and producing his own patterns on licence to the interior design industry. He gave me his opinion about what he thought would work, and then advised me to concentrate on one area for patterns and see where the subject could lead. It could turn out to be an in-depth book about manhole patterns, in the USA for example. and the related structure beneath our feet, but he advised me not to try to cover too many topics within one outcome, i.e., a pattern book. I think that this proved to be the best source of advice during the whole of the project, apart from the suggestion of the company about wallpaper design ā http://www.wallpaperdirect.com from my tutor David Osbaldestin. So the centre of my project was now established, and it would show all of the most inspirational patterns with different versions associated with a colour branding which covered greys, blues, classic and linear versions for each design. Therefore I would have at least 28 different colour ways based upon only 7 patterns. I then decided to make the book more enticing to an audience who might see the book in a visitor centre, so I put designs and colour ways on the left-hand side pages in an A4 landscape book, with some interesting facts below this, and on the opposite page the facts would have some established figures and historical facts about the piece of equipment, i.e., fire hydrant that a New Yorker (or an english visitor) might find very interesting, as he may not have come across these facts anywhere else⦠The work would be sold with greetings cards, greetings wrapping paper and bespoke items made from the fabric I designed with the patterns.
The additional parts of the project included the design and production of a specific āFall 2016ā edition of the āNew Yorkerā magazine, which I designed with a topical Donald Trump presidential candidate for the US presidency as the subject. He would be introduced to the reader as sitting in my back garden on my garden swing amongst the apples, pears and pumpkins looking at the reader while contemplating the enormity of the task of winning the election would bring. Interestingly enough, I think because I decided to use screen printing as a medium for producing this cover, the expression I managed to get in his face looks inscrutable. Therefore, it would do just as well for the cover even if he loses the election, and so all my bases would be covered. This was quite a challenge for me as I have not done a huge amount of screen-printing. The Caitlin Moran cover was done with five colours, whereas this one would be produced with seven colours in total, and could be printed onto a coloured paper stock to introduce another colour, such as the orange representing Halloween, or deep brown for a night time shot.
The additional visual map part of the main project was an A1 poster folded down into nine section, with a local map of New York central district (around the Hotel Pennsylvania) so that tourists would be able to identify where they were on their visit, on the reverse of this. In its actual state of production, the front shows all nine sections making up the five day visit we took, including: Day One (Monday), Day Two AM & PM (Tuesday), Day Three AM & PM (Wednesday), Day Four AM & PM (Thursday), Day Five AM & PM (Friday), to Saturday morning. This worked rather well in the caricature style I used for my friends taking the journey with me. I obtained their opinion on the content and the style and they enjoyed my approach to the visual map, and said that it brought back memories of the trip for them. The only other part of the project I wanted to pursue was to animate this visual journey around New York for five days, by using the reference http://rleonardi.com/interactive-resume/ for the style of visual journey around the city, i.e., the 3 other room mate girls and I would be animated walking around the city and stopping off at the attractions they saw whilst making visual or verbal comments on them. The appeal was that you could see the back of the girls hoods and backpacks whilst viewing the attraction ahead of them. I think this would have complimented the project well, and would have also ended with an actual map of the area that the participant could have used to find his way around his holiday destination
On two Wednesday afternoon session last semester, we had the choice of taking drawing classes with Stephen Earl Rogers, a renowned artist. So inĀ observational drawing class Part I, we had slow and careful school of drawing which I really like as it suits my style, (see above two teddy bears holding hands at school).
Observational drawing class Part II, and Stephen has we students drawing quick mark-making sketches with pencil and pen. We started with 10 marks per subject, then reduced the amount of marks down to 5. This is quite a difficult technique to master as it lends itself to logo concept design. Logos tend to work well and are derived from few lines, with only colour making them come to life. I am now going to practice other mark-making techniques to assist me with my Major Study project outcomes, ie, New York objects.
This is a final major project from the first year of my HND in Interactive & Visual Design, a level 4 project leading up to my degree. I find I am inspired by my preliminary work by this for my Major Project based on New York, to create a pattern book using some of the learning outcomes I have from this project. This would mean trying the āstep and drop repeat patternā for some of the designs in my New York Pattern Book, and manufacturing some products from these designs as well. A poster map-book could follow together with an animation of my journey around New York as a first time visitor would push the outcomes from the major project to the required level 6.Ā
The above piece of fabric print was inspired by a poster produced for the āGlug Birminghamā competition, showing positive development and tourist spots around the city, and then applying it, cross-discipline to textile design. I produced all of the above items myself with professionally printed cotton sateen from Hatley Print in Hertfordshire. Three metres of white digitally printed fabric enabled me to make eight products with accompanying embroidered items as well which I felt would make a good exhibition piece.
Hatley Print produce high-end digital printing on fabric for the BBC for drama programmes and to interior design businesses, so I found this to be the best outlet of its kind to produce my work. DMC printed the t-shirt locally in Birmingham.Ā
We have a digital fabric printing machine in the Fashion & Textiles department at Parkside where a technician will give me assistance to print work on site, or have it printed professionally. My outcomes for my Major New York Project will be directed not at the public, but more towards businesses who would be interested in buying finished designs or the copyright to them. After having a meeting with John Hall at BCU, I was advised that designs produced in his business are sold as work that can be altered within the copyright, to give the buyer more flexibility with designs bought.
My work would be complimented with designs for print, ie, wallpaper, wallhangings, book end papers, and a line of greetings cards and papers.
I found this mini competition advertised at the Packaging Innovations Exhibition at the NEC on 25th February. This is my dissertation topic ā branding for female-targeted drinks packaging and its futureā¦
So I picked up a few blank templates of this visual and mocked a few up; this is my favourite and the one I entered into the competition on 31st March. You can use the name of the company you work for to design a new drinks label around that concept, or use a fun name ā so as I am a student I used an imaginery name āĀ āImaginative Drinksā wearing clothing or in this case a funky bra strap so its female-targeted!
This is the sort of brief I like.Ā
The reference below is an advertising image representing Nikeās manufacturing process of turning plastic bottles into clothing, which is an approach which is different to how I was using the bottle packaging, in that my bottle is actually wearing a bratopā¦

Following my dissertation on female-targeted drinks packaging, for which I produced a female biased wine box and label for one of my negotiated study briefs, I have decided to do one more gender-related project towards major study to run alongside my New York based major.
These photographs are examples of clothing that can be worn by male or female ā I decided that fashion would be too large an area to cover alongside my New York major project so I have found a smaller project run by DandAD calledĀ āDesign Bridgeā which bridges the gap between the genders and explores cosmetics for both gendersā¦
Will the packaging (example, near top, appeal to a man and a woman of a similar age, ie, 25 years of age. See what you think⦠and later on Iāll give you my version which aims to follow on from a branding exercise started a month ago with Jane Anderson on writing a campaign for a product calledĀ āBirch Waterā (the sap from the native birch tree), aimed at the UK market.
My idea is to continue with the branding exercise, but adapt the product to being a cosmetic/pharmaceutical rather than a drink, so we would have, for example, Birch Moisturising Cream, Toner and cream for acne, rather than a supercharged water. I think it has possibilities, and I am going to explore this further with a āBirch Waterā packaging and advertising campaign, keeping the name as it is.
A YCN Brief for Fedrigoni Imaginative papers, March 2016.
I felt that a 3D approach to gift-cards, books, advertising, point-of-sale (POS), and that retail space may look appealing to customers when treated this way on counters and wall displaysā¦
This will form the basis of a more thorough treatment of artwork using theĀ ātrompe lāoeilā technique for creating 3D effects in 2-dimensions.
Some ideas for the Adobe Creative Cloud identity ā Adobe CC ā which are initial ideas and some finished design and artwork. The theme is ābiblicalā, old school, and based upon the creation in 7 days theory, with the advancement of technology emerging from them. Coming from this idea, was the use of ābubblesā (being blown from the mouth of the Botticelli Angel, and from the fishes āgaspingā for air in the sea, and from the swooping birds āflappingā in unison with each other, making a new CC icon patternā¦
The only restriction was that the CC icon could not be changed, only evolving into a new identity to appeal to young users of the Creative Cloud software.
The letterpress competition at the Ditchling Museum in Sussex requested entries in February, 2016. I have limited experience with letterpress but decided upon a forceful literary quotation ā āletterpressedā it, and sent in my entry. The vintage colouring, I felt added to its appeal⦠I intend to do more letterpress to gain experience in this interesting medium

An entry into Secret 7ā³, March 2016.
The designated track wonāt be revealed until after the entries have been chosen for the final sale in London. My entry didnāt quite make it ā perhaps thatās why Jack is looking glum!
My entry for the Stratford Literary Festival, April 2016.Ā It is a design for a book about poems and short stories written by the young for everybody, and entitled āFor All Timeā. Ā It uses the simple concept of time being a black hole into a literary underworld where you will find new work amongst the iconic buildings in Stratford-upon-Avon. I had a good response to the entry, and encouragement to enter more workā¦
