We displayed our items in the shop and merchandised the window to show our handmade pieces.

Made in Jesmond

The second brief of my second year at Newcastle college was a live project for 'Made in Jesmond'. I was asked to design my own product  range to be sold within the shop. I have chosen my own theme, which was oriental, drawing inspiration from the Oriental museum in Durham and Newcastle china town. I have really enjoyed this module as I was able to get down some interesting intial drawing and also florals which I haven't had the chance to draw from in a while. 

 

I chose to make a collection of screen printed silk scarves as I am particularly interested in making fashion outcomes. I think I am stronger at fashion than interiors etc and screen printing is something I am really beginning to enjoy.

 I think my first scarf print turned out the best, as I was unsure about the composition I used on the second and the pink I had added into my colour palette.

 

I created my own swing tags asI think they look more professional. I learn't alot from this project about creating my own products and this could be a potential option for my design work in the future.
