Week 8: Monday 19th May:
Final week of UNIT X
My current website link to achieve a larger audience and give my work a more outward facing approach.I am hoping to continue with a textile career after university and by having a website I can reach a larger audience. Collaborating with the Graphic Design student was much more of a success for the website rather than editing my prints. It has enabled me to learn new techniques and be selective with the images I choose.

Final 6 designs for scarf prints. 3 different collections containing 2 prints each. (30inch by 30inch)
My scarves have been made inspired by historic objects I have collected within my family home, colliding the past and present, old and new creating that 'moment' within and focusing on a reliving an old mark or detail.
collection 1: taken from direct scans from books, edited on Photoshop.
Collection 2: direct scans from pieces of Parquet flooring. edited in Photoshop
Collection 3: direct scans from an old Elasoplast tin. Edited in Photoshop.
My scarves are ideal for high end women's fashion, selling in shops like Harvey Nichols, Fortnum and Mason and Libertys of London. I have recently contacted Libertys of London and considering going to one of their open days in which they see up and coming new designers or artists to select for their new season.

Having previous work placement at Harvey Nichols I feel it gave me an insight into the client. My scarves has been costly and the type of female client that will shop at high end stores will be wanting something contemporary and individual, price is no object over quality and uniqueness.
My life after university is something I have been considering approaching companies like the above to sell my designs too. Initially I do not want to be freelance as I feel there is no regular income. I would like to work on a design team or buying team within the more bespoke companies like Fortnum and Mason (companies which have history). I have created a physical portfolio of my paper prints / samples and a website for an online presence. Creating a portfolio, blog and website has enabled myself to select and edit my work in the best way possible being selective and choosing the 'right' image or images for each page.
