I have had the best 3 years whilst studying Textiles and Surface Design at CCAD, I have learnt so much and will definitely take all my knowledge into industry.I have also made life long friends which i hope all the very best of luck for in the future.Degree show night was a brilliant success and  from the show i have had lots of lovely feedback about my work which is very positive and has  given me a confidence boost .I cannot believe am now a 'graduate' and will be very sad not to be using my student discount again :( Here is what i have been up to lately ...

Textiles & Surface Design degree show 2012

Here is a couple of photographs from the Cleveland college of Art and Design 2012 Textiles  & Surface design graduate degree show.Follow this link to see other graduates work throughout the other HE courses.

When creating my final collection i had my degree show presentation in mind, so i decided to create my final designs in various widths and lengths to give my final degree show a more interesting look. 

First i had to make a choice about which prints i wanted to present and then i started hanging them from various levels working out the best composition.

 Once i was happy with the 14 printed lengths, i was then ready to hang my pleated centre piece design.

I then needed to add some more visual pieces i decided by placing 3 of my product visual boards down the side to give the viewers some ideas of how i want the prints to be worn.

  To finally finish off my degree presentation i added my Trend Bible and spray fabric.co.uk sponsorship logos and added my visual concept boards to show my trend colour and market influences.

My final collection ' Beauty in Chaos' 

Photographs of me and my gorgeous friends also fashion fabric designers and 2012 graduates.

The show runs from the 7th - 14th June at Cleveland college of Art and Design Church square Hartlepool.
