Having looked at manual print processes before and loved them during my elective I really want to go far in the next module and capitalize on the experience. Over the past couple of weeks I've been looking at print but mainly in the form of repeating pattern and products which is something that really interests me. I found these via Print&Pattern, I love the illustrative style and the application to products such as cushions, notepads, bags and even trays. I really like this application of print and would love to know how it is made in batch. Reminds me of the work done by former 3rd year Mitash Patel, i'll have to see if i can get in touch.

Having had a fantastic summer its time now to get back into the game. I thought as a starter to help I would enter a couple of easy and fun competitions to ease myself back into the working life. Umbro's new boot the Speciali was looking for a new sole to be designed in an open competition which allowed me to use my new Creative Suite 4 software for more than just fixing up pictures, it was awesome to play with. After i also entered another open competition to design a t-shirt for an Xbox promotion.

I have had a quite a reflective summer, looking back on some of the work that I produced last year I have come so far yet there are still things that i need to improve on. Having been away on holidays and in my own space I am looking forward to getting back next week.
