<div class="MsoNormal">
In this project my main aim was to finish off the work I
began in the last unit, and to prepare myself for beginning my career after
university. To achieve this I wanted to finish my three main collections, but I
also wanted to allow time to take on extra projects to build my portfolio and
prove that I am a versatile designer. I also intended to develop my brand and
prepare the beginnings of a business that I can kick-start after I graduate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The biggest challenge I have faced in this project is
managing my time. I have reached the stage where I have all the skills to do all
the things I want to achieve, but this means I often take on every project that
comes my way, which leads to me trying to juggle multiple projects at once.
This challenge has however taught me a lesson as I have come to realise that as
good as I may think I am, there is only so much time in each day and I need to
manage my time to make sure I spend enough time on each project, and to
complete it to a high enough standard.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am really proud of the amount of work I have managed to
produce over the past few months. In the earlier stages of the project I took
on a lot of external projects, but I have always felt it is important to push
myself as much as possible. Designing my large-scale piece for the Tatton Park
exhibition was a great challenge and even though it took up a lot more time
that I had planned, I feel it really paid off. Even though the exhibition was
separate from my main project, I feel it has had an effect on my work as the
experimentation I did with scale has in turn influenced my other design work. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have had great experiences of collaborating with people in
this unit, from working with Zach to build his new magazine empire, to learning
the reality of working on a project and not getting selected after working with
Ailsa. I have come to realise that even though it is important to be self
sufficient and independent, its even more important to make the most of your
contacts, as networking has led to some really exciting opportunities this year
that have had a big impact on my work. For instance, repeatedly designing for
the Patternmash project got me noticed by Hannah Kirkbride who runs the site,
and I can now count her as a valuable contact. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel like my efforts of doing all this extra work are
finally beginning to pay off, as I was selected for New Designers in London,
and I have also been put forward by my tutors for Texprint. Both of these are
big opportunities which could further my career and would give me the chance to
show my work to wider audiences. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the last project I worked really hard to develop a strong
concept, but this sometimes left my print design lacking as I was too busy
thinking about the ‘idea’ behind everything. This time around I feel I have
made stronger decisions about design, worked harder with my layouts and really
considered what it is the customer wants and what would make my work saleable.
I’m particularly proud of my scarf designs as I have put a long amount of time
and effort into each design, but I feel it shows and makes a covetable,
exciting product that I could easily sell post university. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My next aim between now and the project hand in will be to
finish my visualisations and lookbook to go alongside my design work, and to
finish them to the same high standard I have created all my other work to.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I decided in the end that it was best to keep my online shop
and personal portfolio separate as they are both selling different aspects of
my work. I feel I have learnt the importance of getting your work out there and
not being afraid to show it to anyone and everyone, as you never know where the
next opportunity with crop up. Having my Instagram page and Patternmash profile
has been great for getting across to people what my work is about and showing
myself to be a versatile designer. Even though I am currently looking for
design jobs, I know that freelance design is also an option, so I have made
sure that my portfolio is broad and shows off my variety of skills so that I am
not just pigeonholed as a print designer for fashion. <o:p></o:p></div>

<i>Final logo</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Throughout the project I have been thinking about where my
work will go next after I have graduated, so I have taken the time to really
consider my branding as I wanted to create something that I would be happy to
use after university. I spent quite a long time perfecting my logo as I want it
to look modern but also reflect the ornate and often historic nature of my
work. I am so pleased with the final design and have already begun to order
stickers that can be used as part of the branding and packaging of my scarves.
I have also been doing lots of research about packing, boxes and labelling to
reflect the luxuriousness of the product and make the customer feel like they
are buying into something special. I rather like the idea of having swing tags
or cards to go with each scarf to explain the concept and context behind each
design, as each one has a story which adds to the visual interest of the scarf.

The next task in branding my work will
be to create a website so that I will be able to sell my products online. I have already set up an Instagram page just for my work, and this has been a great platform to get my work seen and show some of the process behind my practice, but I also want to set up an online portfolio to send to prospective employers. <o:p></o:p></div>

<i>Selection of some of my final scarf designs</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the past few weeks I have been concentrating most of my
efforts on getting the scarf collection finished. In my last project the
scarves were intended to be a part of a larger fashion accessories collection,
but after much deliberation I have decided that I would rather dedicate myself
to one of them, creating one really strong small scarf collection rather than a
poor larger accessories collection. On reflection I wasn’t very happy with the
scarf designs I handed in for the last project, so this time around I have
spent a lot more time thinking about layouts, how the scarves are worn and
therefore what should fall in the corners, and just generally creating a varied
selection of designs that reflects the concept. I have taken some of the motifs
from old designs and reworked them with new ones, but continuing with luxurious
colours to complement the fabric and using the trompe oliel idea to create 3D
scenes. I’m glad that I have taken the time to make this collection the best I
possibly can as I really want to have something exciting to take with me to New
Designers in London, and hopefully it will make me stand out to judges at
Texprint. <o:p></o:p></div>

It was great to finally see all of our work up at the Tatton
Park exhibition after we had all worked so hard as a group to put it together.
After a lot of back and forth decisions about my piece, all the extra work I
did at the<a href="http://lucysmithtextiles.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/tatton-park-exhibition.html" target="_blank"> beginning of the project</a> paid off as my piece was chosen to
go above the large fireplace at the centre of the room. Trying to get my motifs
to fit over three wallpaper style panels and yet still make it look like one
continuous piece was much more complicated than I had imagined it would be, but
it was a great challenge creating something to fit the 1.6 x 1.4 metre space as
I have never worked on such a large scale with paper before. Printing on the
wide format printer on a large scale has made me think more about my scarves
and how I may choose to engineer their layouts. I feel so proud of the work I
have created and it was a great experience working with such a supportive group
of people, and I would love to work on a collaborative project like this
again. <o:p></o:p></div>

A great thing I have learnt lately about collaborating with
people is that if you do a favour for someone, you can often be paid back with
a better one in return. After helping Zach with<a href="http://lucysmithtextiles.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/collaboration.html" target="_blank"> covers</a> for his magazine, he approached me to be interviewed as part of his second issue of Rat magazine.
This is such a great chance to get my work seen by new audiences and I am
really looking forward to seeing my work in print.</div>

I have also discovered that it is worth taking on projects
even if they don’t seem like much in the beginning. After agreeing to take up a
commission on creating a Minecraft inspired print design for a mens shirt (two
areas that I am fairly unknowledgeable about) I discovered that the work I
would be basing my design on was actually a minecraft version of an original
1920s painting of New York from a project called <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/about/projects/tate-worlds-art-reimagined-minecraft" target="_blank">Tateworlds</a> for the Tate
Gallery. To make things more exciting my fabric was recently made up into a
shirt and it was worn in Los Angeles at a talk made at the Youtube
headquarters. It has been so amazing to see how one small project can itself
turn into something much bigger and take me one step closer to my career in
print design. <o:p></o:p></div>

<i>Image from tableware shoot</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I really enjoyed doing my tableware photoshoot in the <a href="http://lucysmithtextiles.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/tableware-designs.html" target="_blank">last project</a> so I have actually allotted time in this project to work on this
aspect more, as I feel it will give me something a bit different to show off
the variety of my work in my portfolio. I was quite heavily inspired by the
lifestyle and clothing brand <a href="http://www.toa.st/category/house+and+home+tableware/tableware.htm" target="_blank">Toast</a>, and tried to keep my imagery homey with
natural lighting, but trying to keep the general collections and antiques theme
involved by including antiques and dark wood surfaces to look like an antique shop.
I think the introduction of seasonal flowers adds some interest to the imagery
and helps it to fit into my chosen context. <o:p></o:p></div>

<o:p><i>Scarf visualisations</i></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have also been thinking about how to visualise my scarf
collection as one of the comments made at the feedback of my last project was
that the visualisations could have been stronger. Whilst most people on the
course doing womenswear have booked studios and models, I want to go down a
more unusual route to reflect the unusual content of my designs. In the past I
have placed photographic scarves on illustrations, so this time I want to
displace my designs onto photographic collages featuring mannequins and marble
busts as alternative models. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This has also made me think further about what I would like
to show alongside my scarves at the degree show, and I think a large composite
version of these photo collages, made up to look like a curiosity shop, would
be a great piece to sum up my collection and to make my work stand out at the
show. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The problem with doing so many live briefs lately is I am
beginning to feel like I have neglected my own project. The option of pitching
a piece for the Vertical Gallery is something that I have thought about a lot
lately, and although it would be great to do something different and larger
scale with my work, I think that I don’t really have the time to dedicate to
it, my context doesn’t really fit with large scale installation art, and I
would rather focus on perfecting my own collections to show off my work to its
best at the degree show. <o:p></o:p></div>

My recent priority has been to finish my womenswear
collection, as I have been busy painting motifs alongside preparing for Tatton.
I have carried over three desgins from the last project as I felt they really reflected
my concept, but I am also really pleased with how well my new designs fit in
with the old ones. Scale has often been my weak point so this time around I
have really pushed myself to think about layout, motif sizes and scale in
general, which I feel has paid off as this collection looks much more varied
and I can see it as wearable womenswear. My next aim is to take a similar
approach with my scarf designs so that I make the most professional collections
that I am able to.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I have always really tried to push myself with my work ethic
and to always take on opportunities where I see them. I have exhibited with Art
House Co-op <a href="http://lucysmithtextiles.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/art-house-co-op-print-exchange.html" target="_blank">before</a>, so I was keen to take part in this years <a href="https://www.sketchbookproject.com/" target="_blank">'The Sketchbook Project'</a> as it is a fantastic opportunity to have my work viewed
in another country. I chose the theme History Book as I felt it would fit in
quite easily around my current project, but it actually made it more difficult
as each time I created a piece of work for it I felt annoyed that I couldn’t
then use it in my main collection and vice versa. This means I ended up doing a lot
of general image collages rather the illustration that my work is known for. On
one hand it means I have had the chance to show something different of my
working style, but it would have been nice to have more time to spend on it to
send something I’m really proud of off on its tour around America. <o:p></o:p></div>

<o:p><i>'DECOrate' entry for Patternmash</i> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though I’ve been really busy rushing out my sketchbook
to be posted to New York, I set aside an afternoon to do the current Pattermash
brief, DECOrate, as I want to make the most of building up this separate
portfolio of work that I can show future employers and collaborators.I think
taking on extra projects whilst working on my main collections has been good
practice for if I do later decide to go freelance alongside running my own
business, as this will be a very similar set up. <u><o:p></o:p></u></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Creating work for the exhibition at Tatton Park has been a good experience as it has given me the chance to work with a different group of people and to a different context. After working on my last project for so long it has been nice to have a break and work on something new, and I have thoroughly enjoyed taking something old and modernising it in my own style. It is definitely a learning curve having to collaborate with a large group as you have to consider everyone’s ideas, and there is sometimes a struggle at group meetings with trying to find the best balance between what you want for your work and what will work well for the group.</span></div>

As there are space limitations in the room we are exhibiting
in at Tatton Park, I have tried to make my work flexible to fit in around
others who are yet un-certain about the size and scale of their pieces, and
have designed my work with two options in mind, as one large piece or 9
separate pieces. Whilst creating a piece of artwork for such a historic
building has been an exciting opportunity, the uncertainty of the space I am
going to get and not quite knowing what I am specifically creating has been a
challenge. The project has however taught me a lot about time management, because when I have a long amount of time to complete a project its easy to waste a lot of time on it, and I think I work better with shorter or more structured time scales so that I make the most of my time. <o:p></o:p></div>

As a designer I understand the importance of collaborating with other practitioners, so I have tried to make the most of contacts I already have with students on other courses. I recently worked with graphic students Zach Rowlandson and Joe Britch on creating slip covers for their new music and arts magazine, 'Rat'. It was great to experience how collaboration can work well as a skill exchange - they gained my stitching skills, whilst I got the chance to work on a new magazine venture and learn more about graphic design in the process.</div>

I was also approached by fashion student Ailsa Reeve to create prints inspired by vintage fabrics for her fashion collection. This collaboration has given me a very different experience because rather than just using my technical skills, Ailsa wanted me to use my creative skills to design something that compliments the other designs, so there has been more discussion and negotiation about ideas.</div>

I struggled to begin with as I generally use more illustrative motifs, so I've found it hard working with more abstract shapes. Working with Ailsa has been great because I have been able to receive feedback on each design and constructive criticism about what to improve, which feels more like how working with a client as a freelance designer would be. </div>

I have learnt a lot about my own practice in this project that I think has helped me to develop my work: I've tried experimenting in different ways with plenty of new techniques to push my motif making and design style to the next level. Working on such a long project has been a struggle at times as it is very easy to become uninspired when looking at the same imagery all the time, but looking back on all the work I have done it feels amazing to see that my project has come so far and I have managed to include so many things. At times managing time has been quite fluid as we had so many months, but I think I have learnt that it is good to have a structure in place even if that is tweaked and changed throughout the project. The learning agreement has been useful for this as I have been able to adapt it to add in extra collections, and slightly change the theme which has given my work the chance to grow organically. In the beginning I was planning to focus on 'heritage', a loosely picked term, but this project has evolved into looking at all aspects of collecting and in turn become a fully fledged concept. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One aspect that I think I have really achieved on is my networking and attempts to develop my work outside of uni. I have found doing the monthly projects on Patternmash a great way to break up the project, and has led me to discover that I could work well under the pressure of a job with quick turnaround, such as freelance. Repeatedly working as something has done me well as it was thanks to doing the projects every month that got me spotted for the sites Designer Spotlight, a really positive addition to my CV. I have also reaped the benefits of just pushing through with my work, as I didn't enjoy doing the vegetable prints for the Lacuna Press competition, and yet through persevering I won.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am really pleased with the state of my three collections, as I worked really hard on the concept which is not something I have ever developed quite as much as this. I like how the three look at different aspects and yet link together: 'Curious Antiquities' covers old antique and unusual objects, 'The Mapie's Hoard' looks at people who obsessively collect one type of thing, and 'Flotsam of Life' reflects on the sort of collections of detritus that gather on their own. I am looking forward to pushing each of these collections further in Unit X and developing new designs to go with the final ones I have already created. I plan to really push the lookbook idea as I think the practice imagery was really successful, and I also want to develop a brand that has a life expectancy outside of uni. </div>

I have thoroughly enjoyed doing the styling for my tableware collection as photography is something I never really get the time to do. I just did the mock ups with white plates so I can displace my designs on at a later date.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I have chosen to look at different types of collecting as inspiration for each design collection, I decided to push my concept further and look at the collections that seem to grow all on their own - all the worthless bits of matter that people seem to collect but don't want to throw away. I used photographs of objects I found in jars at home, and used just the objects from one jar or drawer in each print. I really like the soft effect of multiplying the layers of photos. These are just mock up designs as I have not the chance to thoroughly develop this collection yet, but I hope to use these as a starting point in the next project. </div>

Earlier on in the project I tried to do <a href="http://lucysmithtextiles.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/visualisations.html" target="_blank">line drawn visualisations</a> alongside <a href="http://lucysmithtextiles.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/review-week.html" target="_blank">digitally collaged</a> ones, but neither gave quite the effect I was looking for. Going back to the drawing board and really looking at my customer profile and shop report research was so helpful, as I suddenly realised the look I wanted to achieve. I think these visualisations were so much more successful because I actually really thought about the outcome and the image I want to project to the customer. I also drew some simple flats to show off the prints more easily on my final moodboards. </div>

So far in the project I have just been working on prints for a fashion context, but the more I work with my motifs I realised they would work really successfully in a homeware context. I'm excited about the prospect of creating a tableware collection, which could cover crockery, tins, napkins and other kitchen ephemera, as it will give me a chance to develop my surface pattern skills. I have done plenty of research this week into companies which digitally print onto various objects, which has got me very excited about the endless possibilities. I also think it would be the perfect opportunity to do some styling and photography, so I have started to bring together some inspirational imagery from the likes of Toast and Country Living.</div>

I decided to lay out my motifs as scenes for the scarf designs, which I think is really effective as it puts all the objects into perspective. The simple shape of the scarf gives the perfect canvas for a non-conventional print, as it becomes an abstract print once folded and knotted around the neck. I'm also really pleased with the shadows and sense of perspective as I have been looking at trompe l'oeil paintings for inspiration - the shadows mixed with photographic and digitally drawn imagery works really successfully. </div>

Even though I have the over arching concept of collecting, I want to really delve into my concept when defining my design collections. The work was already separating into two elements visually, with womenswear being more flat, collaged pieces, and fashion accessories focusing on 3D drawings and perspectives. I feel I haven't properly looked at the obsessive side of collections, so I have chosen to focus my womenswear designs on people who collect lots of one thing, whilst the accessories prints gather together all of the antiques and collectables. I have thought about pushing the concept further by looking into names of <a href="http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/ologies.htm" target="_blank">different types of collectors</a>, and naming each print thus (such as the 'lepidopterist' for the moth print above).</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Now that I have revised my collections, I decided it would be a good idea to have another look at who I am actually designing for, so that I can have them in mind throughout the design process. Whilst both customers are fashionable young women I saw them with slight differences - the womenswear customer would be chic and elegant, choosing simplistic and classic items, whilst the accessories customer would be more quirky, vintage inspired, and open to buying something a bit more unusual. Now that I have a more clear idea of my customer I feel I can visualise them whilst I'm designing.</div>

Entering online print competitions has given me a good break from the monotony of working on my main project lately. I thoroughly enjoyed both the <a href="http://eu.frontrowsociety.com/boutique/m/contest/submission?id=16613&cid=99" target="_blank">Front Row Society</a> and <a href="https://www.textilefederation.com/members/lucy-smith/" target="_blank">Textile Federation</a> projects as they were inspiring themes that came with a wealth of imagery. I found it useful practicing print-making with photographic elements as I have mainly been working on drawings in my project. As fun as it has been having a break from my usual work, it has also given me a chance to practice other styles of working, and to remind myself of where I see myself after university. </div>

Even though I hated doing the prints for the Lacuna Press competition, as I mentioned in a previous <a href="http://lucysmithtextiles.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/live-projects.html" target="_blank">post</a>, I actually won the competition and was asked if I could have my designs listed on the designed fabric section of their website. This is really exciting as not only is it the first proper step towards my design career, but it also shows that it is worth entering every competition even if it is not particularly enjoyable at the time.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
When I went round town for the shop report I realised that I didn't feel very inspired by the shapes I was seeing, and and it made me rethink my idea of just doing womenswear collections for high end and high street. I really want to use this project to create something different and exciting, alongside being able to show that I can do commercial design. I know that I want to do scarf designs again as that has been successful in the past, but I also want to branch out, so I have decided to widen this into fashion accessories, but I will also stick with doing one high end womenswear collection for variety. After quite some thought I realised that handbag linings will be the perfect vehicle for my busier prints, as I can create something quite simplistic on the outside that reveals a wealth of treasure once you open it. </div>

The things that I found most interesting when researching clothing shapes was the use of panelling and contrasting textures - lots of sheer sections in unexpected places. There was also lots of unusual hemlines that were longer at the front or back. I think it is these subtle details that rather than an in-your-face print that makes something high end stand out, so I will make sure to incorporate some of these elements in my designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When it came to handbag research however I was even more uninspired by what is on the market, which seems to be flooded with basic tote shapes and boxy designs, excluding the odd unusual shaping from <a href="http://www.alexandermcqueen.com/gb/alexandermcqueen/online/women/bags" target="_blank">Alexander McQueen</a> and<a href="http://www.stellamccartney.com/gb/online/stella-mccartney/women/handbags" target="_blank"> Stella McCartney</a>. I chose instead to focus on vintage handbag shapes, which lead me to look at some really interesting history books where I discovered lots of interesting things about the origins of handbag shapes which will feed back into my design work. As I am planning on designing a simple exterior to contrast my busy linings, I think I will need to try sourcing some leathers and suedes to experiment with. </div>

I have been mulling over how best to display my work in context other than just the usual standard flat illustration, as I want to differentiate myself from all the other print designers on the market. I was inspired by my digitally drawn <a href="http://lucysmithtextiles.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/techniques.html" target="_blank">Staffordshire dog</a> to try recreating a mannequin head to display my scarves on, as I could then place the head among other items on a shelf to create a feedback loop within my designs. I was super pleased with the final result, partly as it looks so similar but mostly because I think it is a quirky and unusual way to show off my designs - something that will make people stop and look at my work wondering if it is real or not. </div>

I've chosen a more conventional route for my womenswear designs as I want to show that I have many qualities as an illustrator. I really liked the unexpected splash of watercolour in La Casita de Wendy's lookbook, so I tried to recreate a more toned down version with my own graphicly simple drawings. Although I like the concept, I think my designs don't stand out enough so I think these will need more development.</div>

I have been thinking for a while for the most interesting way to display my motifs within prints, as I don't want to get stuck in boring repetitive styles, so I have found looking at non-textiles artists a really good way to come up with innovative ideas. </div>

It has been mentioned a few times about adding shadows and authentic labelling onto my designs to help make my 3D tablet drawings stand out, so I looked at Joseph Cornell's Shadow Boxes as he combines different objects in a collector's format. I found this helped influence the print above as it helped me get my head around where to place shadows to introduce perspective in my work.</div>

In some prints I want to use traditional looking formats to show motifs, such as shelves and cabinets, but I also wanted some more interesting ways to show my work. I was recommended to look at 'How To Wrap Five Eggs', a book on Chinese wrapping, which gave me plenty of different ideas for showing objects together, and led to this macrame inspired print above. Looking at unusual inspiration has helped me to look at my motifs in a non-traditional way, which in turn has inspired me to create much more varied work. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The Lacuna Press 'Vegetables and Trees' competition and the Patternmash 'Prints of Persia' project are two examples of live projects I have been working on in the past few weeks where I really didn't enjoy creating the designs. I found the veg one a real challenge as it wasn't a theme I would ever pick, but it was good to push myself to prove that I can create good prints even when its hard to engage. I think it also shows my versatility as a designer as I have proved I can work to challenging deadlines.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
'Prints of Persia' was difficult in a different sense, as I really thought I'd enjoy this theme but I struggled to make the motifs look how I had imagined them. I feel pushing through on these sort of short live projects has taught me a good lesson in perseverance, as I was even prouder of eventual prints I created as I had gone through such a struggle to get to that final point. I really appreciate the importance of live projects as with each one I am getting more confident with my style and use of techniques.</div>

Preparing for review week has given me a really good chance to reflect on what I have done so far and made me realise that I have achieved much more than I thought I had. I had been feeling like my project was a bit all over the place as I have been using so many techniques, but grouping images helped me to see where clear collections are coming together. Being able to succinctly describe my work to a group of people who haven't seen it before was also useful as it made me concentrate on what is most important.</div>

I decided to put together some visualisations to display my work in context for the purpose of the presentation, but I don't think they were overly successful as they just look a bit childish and don't really reflect my concept. I plan to do more research into different styles of illustrations so that I can create something that fits better with my work. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I mentioned in a <a href="http://lucysmithtextiles.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/techniques.html" target="_blank">previous post</a> that I wanted to try working on a larger scale to loosen up my drawing style, so this week I bought a roll of wallpaper and some tester pots, and spread myself out on the studio floor. I carried on with the theme of repetition I have been playing with recently to force myself to paint the same thing over and over, which was very freeing as it made me focus on the medium rather that being precious about the visual. I think I will try to work on a large scale more frequently as I like that although the images look messy, once they are scaled down and put into prints they will retain their interesting texture and details. </div>

I used the leftover paint to create coloured sheets to collage with, in the style of Mark Hearld. I find I often limit myself to working with just watercolour paints as they are always to hand, but I have enjoyed trying out other paint techniques as I have discovered a different way to incorporate texture into my work, which will bring some much needed life into my otherwise often flat, boring imagery. </div>

As part of my attempt to push my use of techniques, I decided to play around with photographing objects in different patterns. I have found physically playing with elements has been a good way to think about my print layouts in a more inventive way. I also think I have been limiting myself to just old objects, whereas collections of mundane objects are just as intriguing, and may be a good way to bring a different angle to my work in the future. </div>

Narrative is something that has been mentioned a lot in my tutorials but I have really been struggling to work out how to incorporate story telling into my designs. I was inspired by some antique plates to tell a story through portraits combined with images, so I drew a few of my friends and their belongings in the style of the plates I was inspired by. I think these were successful as they give you an insight into the person in the centre of the image, but the limited colours prevents it from looking too confusingly busy. </div>
