I have been thinking about what I want to make/do/design/draw in third year all summer. I have been to London, visiting the exhibitions and museums with my housemate who studies fashion. We particularly gained lots of inspiration from the Missoni exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum, studying the colour combinations and history. I have also begun exploring abandoned areas and urban architecture, photographing colour and shape as well as recording using drawing line over collaged backgrounds. I want to further work on this using recycled papers and materials. 

Right now I am now super overwhelmed after todays session. I need to find a good interior context to apply my designs to that is interesting, fun and unique. Ideally I want my context to link strongly with my drawing/project focus and I want to have a powerful concept behind my designs. 

There are so many contexts I could apply my designs to which would be interesting and different... homeless- no interior?

hostel?

social housing?

exploring different culture?

community?

underfoot?

storage?- repetition?

transportable/portable?

I have been thinking about how I want my design to be applied to something functional, with a purpose, possibly life changing? I need to continue to think about the demographics of who would use the space, what the space would be used for and why? How big would the space be? does the outside inform the inside? could the design raise awareness? 

I have issued books from the library which explore varied interior designs, focusing on colour as well as composition, culture and tradition. 

WHAT NEXT? :

continue to look through interior design books, picking out what interests me and what is suitable to apply my work to?

explore norwich and draw from buildings/linear patterns and colour (and photograph)

explore dezeen/design milk/ design boom/ apartment therapy etc for more inspo
