Bunting

 I made lots and lots of bunting to go all over the house for my 21st birthday party.
As i am a 90's baby i decided to use lots of different 90's Typefaces, mostly inspired by films from my childhood.

Here are a little bit of research into the fonts used in films...

I feel as though twitter is a great was of promoting your work to not only just friend but potential clients and consumers.

I try to post my progress with recent projects as much as i can to keep people informed and interested.

Print & Pattern

So prior to this i have been cracking on with research into designers like me, who incorporate textiles and image to type. 

I came across a website called Print & Pattern. 

It is a UK based website that celebrates all aspects of printed surface pattern. They design a range of products from textiles, cards, gift wrap, stationery, wallpaper, tableware, books, illustration, and anything
that fits into patterns and motifs.

The website/online studio has been created by a lady who calls herself bowie, most of the design and products featured on the website is her own although other creatives can be posted too if Bowie approves it....

CAN I BE FEATURED ON PRINT & PATTERN ?
anyone can submit images for a possible mention or feature. but please bear in mind the print & pattern aesthetic. a glance through the pages will show you the sort of topics and styles covered.
images should be sent as jpegs no smaller than 500 pixels wide, and dont forget to attach your website details, and any relevent info. i get dozens of requests each day so dont panic if you get no reply - its just that i dont always have time to reply to each one personally. it doesnt mean that i dont like your work or that it wont be featured.

NO pdf files please

submissions can be sent to bowiestyle@hotmail.co.uk

ps. as editor of P+P i have to set a certain standard and you are also at the mercy of my taste.
for example i really dont like drawings of people, and i dont approve of cruelty to animals for example leather goods. 

im really sorry but i can only except emails written in english.

"

I was thinking of e-mailing to ask for a posible visit or a chat until i saw this.. 

"i get tons of emails asking for advice on how to get into design work.
unfortunately i dont really have all the answers and simply dont have the time to advise everyone personally. but if you are a designer, student or graduate one thing i can probably do is give you a shout out here on print & pattern. providing your work fits the P+P quality standards and aesthetic. just email me to request a potential showcase"

I am going to e-mail Bowie sometime this summer to see if i can feature some work, this will hopefully get myself seen on and starting up on the internet, and once i have created a specific brand for myself i might possibly send over a creative cv of something that will stick in her mind, although she stated she didn't help designers trying to branch out, i though why not? The worse that can happen is i get ignored by her, so over the summer i will peruse this.
