Shop Design Research

Since the idea of designing for a shop front is something relatively new to me, researching current artists based in such a discipline is a good starting point, it seems the more I research, the more I'm attracted to producing something for such a format.

Exciting news!

I didn't even realize until now while I was browsing other blogs that Rob Ryan is currently having an Exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, I feel a christmas visit coming on, exciting!


Some of the exhibition work below including the accompanying book, want!

some of his known work, for old time sake!

also, someone buy me this!

Camilla Engman

Camillas work is absolutely beautiful, a lovely style of printed illustration, but what really caught my eye is newly released book of her work!

some of her non book based work

Crafty research

Continuing my research into a more craft based practice, or more so illustration based crafts I've been researching more and more artists, Parami Panda crotchets caught my eye, especially their festive range!

Helen Crawford

Love her simple illustration style and her use of jumbled type for her book cover designs.

Liam Roberts Bag Designs

I love the work below by Liam Roberts, currently showcasing on the Dieline, I wanted to link it to my Anorak illustration style, the whimsical childlike illustrative type is really lovely and the white print on the brown bag gives it that low-fi style.

Ted Baker brief

 The last of my briefs, the Ted Baker brief is a window display driven design, this is going to be only a week or so time wise, the brief doesn't have any mandatories so I think this will be based on my concept and ideas for the project rather than the production.


This is a seasonal based brief so obviously autum/winter/christmas are possible themes, but the brief is pushing towards that AND a sense of British humour!


Research.

Previous window displays

Their previous designs have been sleek yet playful, they're almost kitsch in the style of some of them, this will act as a good starting point for my designs.
