Absolut Blank Competition

Today I have been making changes to one of my designs to be entered into the Absolut Blank competition. The brief is very open and without limits, so I have chosen to use vibrant colours to make it stand out. I'v been working on a design I already have as I want to gain awareness of my wrk and It's in my usual style so It should be recognisable as my work.        

Here is what I came up with:

Im having difficulty sending the file, fingers crossed it gets there in time.

Competitions are great to keep creative juices flowing especially when the brief is very specific and is asking you to design something out of your comfort zone. I like to be challenged as it helps develop new skills and make you into a diverse designer.

Degree Show Opening

Last night was my degree show opening, everyones work looked great and I was pleased at the turn out of guests.

Just before the opening there was an awards ceremony held and I was very pleased to be nominated for a Creative Focus Fashion Award especially as only one student from each course within the category was chosen.

I had a great time and enjoyed speaking to people about my work, very please at the interest my work was receiving. Below are some sneak peaks of my stand in the Textiles Exhibition :

Welcome

Welcome to my blog.

Here I will share my design work, inspiration, interests and experiences.

I have just finished my Surface Pattern degree and am about to open my degree show, I will be giving you an insight into the world of a design graduate as I launch my brand 'Fancy Folk'. Follow me on my journey as I exhibit my work and share ideas for future projects, giving an insight to my design processes and how I put my patters together.

The next couple of weeks will be very exiting as I meet with press, attend an awards ceremony and prepare for the New Designers show in London. Where I will be exhibiting from the 27th-30th June at The Business and Design Centre, Islingdon.

Feel free to post feedback on my work as it will be much appreciated.

Viktoriya :)
