Digitex and Bradford Design

This next project is all about engaging with the outside world. We have been given a list of live briefs to work from and have to pick at least 2 to respond too.

The first brief I have chosen to look at is Digitex:

Please choose from one of the 3 architectural styles:

1. Baroque

2. Georgian

3. 1950's

Study the architecture and lifestyles of the time. Food, homes, jobs, clothes, buildings,

materials etc.
Create a modern collection taking on all inspirations from your choice above.
Wallpapers designs and fabric themes:
Think repeats and huge feature panels. Embracing all the creative freedom offered by
digital print techniques.
Digetex would like too see sketch books stuffed with ideas.. drawings / textures / colours
and cut-outs. Final presentation to be by mood board, finished artwork to scale and
coloured to the palette of the time.

I have decided to go with the style Baroque because I think it best suits my way of working.
After doing soime research into the style, I have decided I want to look into the Italian architecture and lifestyle because this is where the style first originated.


The other brief I have decided to go with is the Bradford design competition:

P2 PRESTIGIOUS TEXTILES AWARD: A printed interiors textile design for the domestic market. The design should be drawn in repeat, using no more than 16 colours and should be suitable for printing onto a 54" wide fabric, by the rotary screen method.

The design should be suitable for domestic curtains, cushions or fabric blinds, and the proposed end use must be clearly indicated.

I have chosen to do this brief because Interior design is my strongest point and with the brief being so open I can really explore into different design ideas.
