dress:4it fashion show








I was fortunate enough to be offered the chance to design a t-shirt for a the dress:4it fashion show. This took place on 27th April at Brownes, Nottingham. 

With all proceeds going to the homeless charity, Shelter, all the designers were asked to base their design around homes/houses/shelters. I decided to sketch a house as quickly as possible for the basis of my design. I then used illustrator to artwork the sketch before it being vinyl cut and printed on the shirt. The tshirts are now in Project Clothing, a store in Nottingham City Centre, available to buy, again with all proceeds going to Shelter.

It was a great project to be involved in and it was very satisfying seeing my design on a catwalk.

Another Show Reel

After Effects Show Reel

For research for my current ITV Big Country brief, I found this show reel on youtube which shows some basic after effects skills and techniques. As this is the avenue of the brief I am much more interested in I plan to do the title sequence, dependent on feedback of course. However, I have used after effects very briefly before and I am interested in, and would like to explore the depths of the software a little further.

End of Easter


Easter has come and gone in a blink of an eye now. After a chance to properly reflect on the 70 credit module, I am satisfied with my progress from last year. Mainly decision making and time management have improved. 

I am going to collect all my work in a moment and in comparison to last years efforts, there is no competition. This years projects have a higher level or organisation, development and process which I hope will be enough for me to pass, this time around. It goes without saying that the few days before we get our results will be a very nervy time for me and anyone else repeating the year, not due to the quality of the work but because of our experiences 12 months ago.
