Specialism: Card & Gift
Inspirations: Lauren finds most of her inspiration from magazines such as: Elle Decoration, The World of interiors, Textile Forum and Living and is influenced by Cox & Cox, Maileg, Cath Kidson, Habitat and Five Dollar Shake.
Dream Job/Career Aspirations: Lauren hopes to get a job designing for a card company or to have her own business producing intricate, unique cards and stylish decorations to compliment the home.
Final Major Project: Lauren's concept for the Final Major project is based around beautiful objects including architectural detail, floral’s, jewels and crowns. She has taken pattern and texture from these objects and using a rich, luxurious colour palette, aims to create a collection of innovative gift ware.
Her aim is to produce a collection which is based around the winter and Christmas time of the year; however the collection could also be multi seasonal. Lauren will be using a variety of methods including, print, cut work, hand painted images and use a variety of papers and textures and the final collection will include intricate cards alongside decorative objects to compliment the home.
Each screen must be precisely lined up against the original design before the metal bar and bolts can be screwed in to ensure each screen will line up with each other when printed.
Above are images of students Ashleigh and Louise as they prepare to print the 3rd colour onto a length of wallpaper. Both students will be displaying their beautiful wallpaper designs at the degree show along with other students who have been printing repeats for fashion as well.
