Trip to Paris | l'iilustrate Boutique

Whilst in Paris I took the opportunity to look at a few of the art and print boutiques whilst there, one of my favourite vistas was to the area of Bastille, a place know for its quirky boutiques and shops, here is where i visited the I'iiustrate Boutique.

Speaking to the owner of the print boutique:

- Small print business in Bastille
- Adversities prints from artists all over the work
- Artists are paid for the prints they sell, boutique keeps a percentage

Dialogue | live brief and exhibition

Dialogue - Live brief 

Context

Dialogue - The objective is to encourage contributions for a week long, non profit pop up print exhibition and shop that will be held at the Leeds Corn Exchange in March 2014.   The theme of the exhibition is ‘dialogue’ where each creative will submit a design that will be used in a blind collaboration.  Contributors must be open to their submissions being manipulated through the use of print and the match making process, that will pair two submissions together.  This will create a series of screen printed artworks that will be displayed through the running of the exhibition.

Brief or Tasks:

Submissions - Yoke welcomes people from all creative backgrounds to the exhibition.  We’re now ready to start receiving your ideas based around the theme of ‘Dialogue.’  Submissions can take any form of the theme.  It could directly reflect on past conversations, interactions or what you consider communication is today.

Trend forecasting | Source information

Researching has played a huge part of the course over the past three years, and it is one of my favourite aspects when learning to respond to a brief.

I have found my self become very interested in researching not only to learn and to gather information but to gain an understanding of past, current and upcoming trends, whether this be for colour or print or graphics. Below is the websites I have used through out the year to gain and understanding of trend forecasting to produce designs for product and apparel.
