I plan to create floral print designs for interiors, specifically wallpaper and fabric for upholstery. Due to arriving in print very late and having no experience with any of the techniques or processes, I do not plan on having a final collection of samples, but instead to experiment as much as possible and create a body of visual research and design ideas. Ideally, if I was to have longer from this project, I would have liked to create some Jacquard samples where I could be much more illustrative with my designs. One of my reasons for trying print was due to being restricted in my drawing skills; consequently I am looking forward to utilising, experimenting and developing my drawing ability. I believe photography is a vital element of this project, not only to draw from, but to also take colour inspiration. I plan on making contact with local florists to take some inspirational photographs. I plan to experiment with a range of bright, acid colours mixed with luxurious dark tones, which I feel will bring me out of my ‘colour comfort zone’. I hope to take a very simple, illustrative approach to make the most of my drawing skills.

Due
to changing my area of specialism, there is an unclear link between previous
works, however, I would like to stay within Interiors which has been a running
theme with all of my earlier projects. I’d like to see my designs stocked in
commercial stores such as John Lewis and Debenhams, targeting the younger
(20-30s) interiors market. To bring my designs into my previous work, I plan on creating designs in two different colour ways, where I have used my initial live brief weave colour palette.
