2nd Year!!

Been back at uni for around two months now and just had our first deadline. So I thought now would be a good time to post my first post of this very important 2nd year. We had work to do over the summer holidays that would set us off for this new 20 credit project. Research and some cool hunting, to the right is one of my pages of research from this summer work.

The work seemed none stop since we started back in Mid-September, but I feel although I started slowly I pulled it round and caught up with what i needed. After under achieving last year and making it one of my aims to do better this year from the start I had something to proove to myself. And I feel it helped living with some of the girls off my pathway, as we'd sit and work together in the evenings.

I'm fairly pleased with how this project has turned out, although I have yet to find out how I've done grade wise. The trend book itself got a bit sloppy towards the end when time was running out, and I wish I could have included some of my illustrations and desings.

Here is my trend book, which was inspired by my shop report that had to be done as the second part of this project, I chose to report on Paul Smith and after a visit to the shop and the taking of a few photos and a look around I came up with the idea of using an old vintage stlye book, leather bound and sort of shabby looking.
Below are a number of photos from pages of my book.
