Live
Brief
I
have decided to follow up on a live brief suggested to me by my tutor. To design a range of greetings/ stationary
products. It will be different working
with a much smaller scale. I aim to
choose a different colour scheme for this. I need to choose a company which I
would theoretically be making them for, and so this made me think back to Top
Drawer – a trade show I visited in September at Earls Court Olympia in London. It is the ‘UK’s leading event for design-led
gifts, lifestyle & fashion accessories’.
Art Angels Publishers who I saw there really appeal to me; they publish
a range of cards and stationery products.
The wide collection of designs they use are focused on images produced
by printmakers. Artists they work with
include some of my favourite printmakers such as Edward Bawden, Mark Herald and
Angie Lewin, all of whom work with wood block/ lino printing. As my designs are quite pattern based rather
than illustrative, they will probably be suitable for gift-wrap and notecards.
