Evaluation:

This was the only competition brief I entered this year, and turned out to be one of my most liked briefs. Exploring with graphics, print and textile design has been a running theme throughout my practice this year so I wanted to get involved with a competition which would give me the opportunity of potentially seeing my design printed and in store.

Using the method of photographic print design in this brief allowed me to experiment with photography, image manipulation, pattern design and printed textiles. I enjoy using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for graphic design and felt the desire to explore and experiment in the design sector of textiles too. Developing an understanding of digital design and print has led me to be massively interested in this area, participating in briefs like this is the reason I enjoy both graphics and  textile print, and often like to combine the two together to gain a more explored practice.
