The decision to transfer my prints onto garments I never foresaw into this unit. As I created the first Bee print and got it printed over easter I began to show my work to friends and peers from home and it was apparent that that particular print should be made into a garment. I have been able to make garments since GCSE it was just something I had never pursued at university as interiors is my specialism, however adding this side to my prints creates an instant visual and association for industry. It plants my idea directly to the body, aesthetically creating a final result. I had allocated time to make one co ordinating outfit. Inspired from this season ASOS prints and co ordinating your clothes. In order to just visually plant an idea in industries minds that my prints are transferrable, and also show diversity I hold as a designer.
Setting up an instagram account @O.U.R.NOKES has given me the opportunity to touch the outside world with my designs. Trending via using hashtags allows your imagery to be instantly planted into certain criteria such as #design #digitalprint #print. Getting an instant outside audience has pushed me to pursue the idea of transferring my prints onto several co ordinating outfits, and jumpers. Receiving an instant great response and several orders it has spurred me on to pushing this element of the unit. People have been requesting specific items such as scrunchies, head wear, clutch bags. Which I have made to expand my market.

From my market research in regards to co ordinating yourself with your wallpaper, it is a playful idea thats occurring a lot within the current market. I am interested in exploring this area with my final visualisations and forward coming photoshoots.
