These are to progress pictures taken during the arduous 'Ladelle' project recently completed in my final year of my BA- Textile Design. It was an industry project creating designs to be incorporated into kitchen accessories (apron, tea towels, pot holder, double glove and oven glove).
I really enjoyed (in the end) the hand generated process because ultimately these designs would be scanned and reworked in Photoshop. This knowledge of the design approach for the final outcome allowed more freedom and room for further development without the pressure of definitive mark making.
I feel I really reiterated my ability to take an aesthetically pleasing design for me and developing this into a highly commercial pattern repeat. The final outcome of this project was definitely something I would not wear or buy, however I was happy and creatively proud with what I achieved. I learnt that I have the ability to create commercially viable designs without completely selling my soul.
I received positive feedback from the design team at Ladelle, that they saw the progression through my croquis into commercially applicable designs.
In hindsight I learnt a lot from this project both personally and professionally.
