Tiger Print Typography Competition

Along with all the designing I have been doing recently, I made sure I found the time to enter the Tiger Print Hand Drawn Typography competition too! Typography is something I have never really explored before but I really enjoyed working to this brief and it is something I will look to develop more within my designs.

Here are the Designs I entered into the competition. There were a lot of brilliant entries again so it will be a tough one again!

I love this saying and use it all the time, if I received this card in the post  it would make my day !

Living in Cornwall I wanted to Capture some of the Cornish Language in this card.

Well fingers crossed and I will find out the results later on this week!

Busy, busy, busy

I have been very inactive on my blog of recent times, but not due to anything other than lots of creative productivity. I decided recently that it would be beneficial to enrol on the Art and Business of Surface Patten Design course. It has been the best investment I have ever made. I have learnt so much from the first week alone and really enjoying the course and it's structure.

Here is some of the things I have been up to recently.

This gives an idea of design development and creating a colour way from one of my photos.

Creating a collection that all compliment each other.

Adding my designs to cooking mittens to see how they look on products.

Autumnal Inspiration

This week I have been putting together a collection of designs which are all inspired by the autumnal leaves and seed pods I have noticed while riding out around the country lanes and woods in my Parish.

I was a little indecisive as to what colourway to use as I wanted to keep my designs fresh and contemporary so I have used two different colourways. I have really enjoyed putting this little collection together and can see these designs being applied to a range of different products and surfaces 

Anyway here they are and please let me know what you think of them.

Tiger Print Black & White Competition

I have been away from my blog over the last few days as my laptop needed to be repaired. In this time I received some exciting news that one of my designs got short listed to be one of the top 25 designs in the Tiger Print Black & White Competition. I am extremely proud to have been selected as there were so many entries and I feel like a winner in my own right for this. Congratulations to the winner and other runners up it was a tough competition and a lot of talented designers entered.

I gained the inspiration for this design when I was in Bolivia and Peru. There were so many textile pieces about with tribal patterns that when I returned and saw that tribal would be a big trend I had the perfect material to use for my design. I created it using a paintbrush upside down and ink. I created the patterns after looking at varied shapes and patterns which a common in tribal prints and combined them together.

Friday Florals

Hello. This week. I have been drawing lots and I have entered the Hallmark Halloween competition! I will upload the design I entered for this soon, once they have been judged and are on their gallery page. I have also started to create a few more floral designs for my portfolio, some are still working progress so please feel free to give me your feedback on them. 

I hope you  have a lovely weekend.

Chloe.
