3. Reflection

For the presentation on march the 30 th we had prepared a powerpoint that showed all our product range up to the date with individual images of every product and just a few products photographed together. For this we received some feedback saying that they would love to see pictures of the placemats and and the table runners together and so for the next presentation we had a photo shoot of our product range ready to show alongside with catalogues that we’ll give to the people from Asda showing the whole photo shoot, so they can scroll through it and take them home. We added more bursts of colour and more metallic surfaces to our products, introduced more recycled materials and environmentally friendly ideas, as suggested in the feedback. Another idea we implemented and which has had a really good acceptance was creating a short video showing how to create your own wallpaper , inspired from Cecilia’s paintings.

We ended up with almost geometrical patterns and organic shapes combined with really bright colours that seemed to go in perfect combination with the brief and our group ideas. Some of these pictures were made into a collection of coasters .   Then I began to develop various ideas I got from different artists mainly found on Pinterest. These ideas vary from: - Fingerprint designs: they combine some bright colours from our palette and also have an added element of 'bit map' , one of the key examples given for the brief. - Skull illustrations: They're made with fine lines and using pointillism technique. I used skulls i
