vinyls




I found some really interesting vinyl designs that have a strong applicaton of type and image. A lot have them use block colouring with simple shapes creating really interesting aesthetics.

chanel

I really like this fold out publication for chanel. Interactive design really works in terms of getting the audience involved and the imagery used for this works really nicely. It also has a very interesting binding..

space

I found some amazing images from space to inspire my colour application for the textiles. Picking out colours from these will allow me to explore different combinations.

The texture & luminosity in these images is something I'd like to try and achieve when dying and experimenting with the fabrics..

album artwork

Richard Robinson studio designed the album artwork for Molly Wagger, Tirk Records. The experimentation with colour, photography and textures caught my eye as it's something that inspires me to get more creative with textile design.




Amy Sia

"Amy Sia is a London based textile print designer dedicated to creating unique and vibrant artwork. Following success with other product ranges, Amy's love of fashion and her background as a fashion designer led her to launch an affordable and individual silk scarf range. Her artwork is now translated into scarves that can be treasured and worn.

The range was launched in 2012 with a selection of silk scarves that are made in the UK, celebrating British craftsmanship. Each scarf showcases Amy's distinctive style. The designs are created through a blend of modern and traditional techniques. The designs are often created using a combination of painting, drawing, photography and computer aided design. The scarves are printed digitally allowing for designs and colour combinations not possible in traditional printing processes."

I really enjoy the use of colour in these textile designs by Amy Sia. The composition works really nicely as it's very expressive and each scarf has lovely vibrancy.

textile design

My main source of inspiration has come from Richard Robinson studio. The studio created a range of textile design & editorial for fashion designer Louise-Amstrup (http://louise-amstrup.com/)

The deigns are very image based with a strong application of photography, texture and colour. This is definitely the direction I want to take with brief in which I'm collaborating with Liv Chapman.
