Developing FMP

I've been really busy these past few weeks testing my designs with different colour ways and textured backgrounds. I have 7 weeks left of my final major project and the pressure is on. I have 7 designs on the go at the moment and hope to have 15 designs in my final collection. Here's a few samples of my first screen print and digital designs.

Jennifer Robinson

I specialise in fashion fabrics and I’m currently in the process of creating a collection of printed lengths for Spring/ Summer 2013. My theme is called Allergenic and is based on the allergies of summer. I’ve looked at plant cells under the microscope and drew from plants, flower sap and molecules. I’ve completed my drawings and layouts and I’m at the stage of sampling in the dye lab and testing colours. I will be using a mix of techniques from traditional screen printing to digital designs. For my final show I have been sponsored by Kemtex Industrial Supplies which has helped me source dyes and technique kits that will help with my backgrounds. I have also confirmed internships for over the summer at Amanda Kelly and Mirjam Rouden; I previously gained work experience in London studios; Pattern Textiles and Keeler Gordon.
