NEW Cockerels idea for china



 Just finished this one off after a day at the knitting and stitching show in Harrogate today. Lots of the show wasnt up my street and felt a bit dated, but there were also some fabric stands, which me and my friend waded through to find some really gorgeous fabric designs, all very inspirational to both of us, and so I felt even more eager to get on with work when I got home!

Re-visiting an old card design idea from first year, with the use of CAD design.

Below is a card design idea aimed at the 'new born' market. It is an old design I went back to today, and created using photoshop and illustrator. I definatly plan to come back to this at a later stage and continue working on this idea. Below are also some of the original little sketches/ card motifs I first made when I created the original card design idea, for a project in my first year at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Cupcakes design for ceramic, for Birkett design ltd

Here's one of the many designs/ ideas I have been working on this week. I really enjoyed looking at this theme having never done so before, and chose to create simple/ fun themes or charactors for each of the cupcakes.

A few bits and pieces from this week at Noi Publishing

I created a mood board, for a theme which I would like to explore, and which I hope to develop to become quite an individual theme in some of my designs.
 
Having considered a wide variety of topics that excite me, the idea of using tents and caravans, from a vibrant music festival I enjoyed earlier in the year (in the middle of the yorkshire dales) will form a part of the projects I would like to set myself. I will dip into this project from time to-time. However have recently recieved a new project from Birkett designs, so this will be highest on my list of priorities.
