It's really important for me to continuously direct my work into industry. Familiarising myself with the market trends and styles helps me to construct and move forward my ideas, with a current outlook. The design centre has most of the leading interior companies under one roof so allowed me to quickly utilise my time and see as much as was possible. Romo Black, particulalry influenced me, shown above to the right, the 'Xanthina Collection' in Botanica french grey. Subject wise it is not dissimilar to my own work, however the simplicity is stronger and holds more of a silhouette form, which i'm going to try and reciprocate in the print room. Similar to my own work, the've used the negative to draw with, holding a presence within the print. Colour wise i'm not interested in mixing the grey and the lime into my own work, at this moment in time. Its simply inspiration for market awareness, design and process.
Zinc, under the same umbrella company as Romo, follows a more muted palette and focuses on the tactile qualities and surface texture rather then print design. It equally played a part in influencing me, I want to show diversity within my collection and Zinc's fur collection 'Shadow Mountain Furs' inspired me to work with the idea of putting fur to the wall rather than its more general use for throws or decoration. Particularly the colour way Z333/01 REX I see as the most fitting, i'm looking into getting hold of some for sampling. Thought process wise I want to somehow, melt the synthetic fur from an element of my drawing, so my drawing is sunken into the pile. Potentially using the heat press.
Mark Alexander again another umbrella company of the Romo group, influenced my design process as well, the fabric samples shown above to the left, (the dragged spot like design) was inspiring colour palette wise and design. The idea of the dragged spot could work as an idea for a corresponding print breaking up my more graphic quality work, broadening my collection ideas. This dragged spot is seemingly very on trend, whilst on my work experience at 'The Colorfield' a print design company for womenswear based in London, one of the designers Lucy, was working on a print group combining this idea of dragging the colours into each other blurring the print, using a variety of forms to cumulate the collection.
