Choosing between the briefs was rather challenging. Being faced with so much choice very quickly within my second year was overwhelming but after sitting down with a highlighter and a biro the choices seemed to narrow down quite quickly. Although the Stranger, Stranger brief and the Other words brief seemed interesting I felt more of a connection to the Gellas kitchen brief and the Conran brief. Mostly due to the family values I saw within Angela Simmonds and the creative freedom the Conran team offered.

I had more immediate ideas for Gellas Kitchen but, once I looked more into some of the histories of the buildings which Conran gave us , I fell in love with the vibrant architecture of the Crossness Pumping Station. The Wes Anderson aesthetic of this building excited me and sparked a lot of inspiration in regards to his use of symmetry and colour which is evident in the buildings design also. The neo-Gothic architecture, mainly seen in victorian buildings like this, also provoked my interest. I plan to look more into the victorian design and experimenting with how I can pair this with a Wes Anderson-inspired look.

Can you describe yourself in 5 colours? 

Have a bit more zine exploration. I know you’re gagging for it!

Red and Black make a gorgeously impactful colour scheme!
