Beta Fashion Signature Project


If you can spare a minute or two, PLEASE VOTE for my design here. Thanks!
 
 
Yesterday I entered the Beta Fashion Scarf Contest: a regular online competition where upcoming textile designers can enter to win a place for their design to be sold within Topshop. This month, the ‘Signature Project’ offers an open brief, where inspiration sources, together with style of print, are left entirely for each contestant to determine for themselves. The only regulated factor is that proportions must be kept to approximately a metre square.
 
I decided to submit a simple yet sophisticated floral print, predominantly in black and white. The fuschia-coloured shadow is intended to be neon, in order to provide a contemporary edge whilst simultaneously adding depth, originality and a relevance to current fashion trends.
 
Once again, please vote for 'Floral Radiance' on BetaFashion.com. Many many thanks!

Mars Bar Cake

Another birthday in my family today and I've just finished icing this Mars Bar chocolate sandwich cake for my Dad. For an amateur like me, the Mars Bar chopping was a bit of a challenge but hopefully the taste will make it all worth while - it certainly looks better than I thought it would! Now to wash up...


Sam's Birthday Card

My brother turned 15 earlier this month and we decided to go snowboarding at Sno!Zone, Milton Keynes to celebrate the day. I'm not the best when it comes to designing for boys, but here's a glimpse of the artwork I created for his birthday card, using a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator.
