Green Issues in Design

Printed Assignment for submission MA Design.
MA design printed assignment Green Issues In Design

Up cycled picture frame used to mount Lino print.
Converting part of a blog to book is quite useful if you are needing to submit a report or in my case a distinction for a Masters Degree. However you have to add the book from being to end i.e the appendix’s and bibliography ends up at the beginning when you open the blog. Year's ago you could turn a blog round to the beginning and work to the back, however I think that button has been taken off or I can’t find it!
As part of my working practice within the dissemination part of my MA in Design. I am currently
Mounting some of my previous work professionally using specific size mounting card with cellophane covering in order to test the market within print for wall Art.
Previous work mounted professionally.
Previous imagery that I have mounted using professional mounting card and cellophane envelopes traditionally used when selling photographs and print art.
Lino Print :Protect Antarctica
Mounted Lino cut using professional cardboard slip. I will try and find some picture frames upcycled to use for display. When I have enough mounted I will go to
 a number of art galleries and gain some feedback. It would also be useful to find out if I could gain any commission work for any commercial venture, printed promotional work for various businesses possibly.

Up cycled stool development in progress.
Up cycled children stool covered in whale repeat velvet.
Whale tail repeat on velvet.
Velvet topped stool. Velvet needs to be stretched and stappled just waiting for stapler to be delivered. This piece would be probably be more commercial if the wood was patterned black.However I am choosing to change the fabric to a different choice, use something more suitable for a child.
carbon footprint repeat pattern.
Something a bit more organic would be more suitable. Upcycling I am experimental process to find the right choices adding funky detailing can add interest for the consumer. Their is a shop in a local village called ’The Loft that is full of vintage fabrics and amazing furnishing trims which I will visit to add an element of opulence maintaining a sustainable link by buying vintage.
The Loft textile haberdashery store Farnsfield.
Definitely worth a visit a emporium of antiques,fabrics and trims. An Aladdins cave of luxury details and fabrics ideal for upcycling projects.
