Show Number One - New Designers
I was lucky enough to be picked for both graduate design shows in london this year. The first show I attended was New Designers and the business design centre in islington. It was incredibly successful and fun to be with my course mates and networking with industry and other graduates.
I had a range of work shown at New designers including my Natural Colours Project, Forgotten Homes & Fake News. My work even got shortlisted by Allermuir for my use of colour!
I had an amazing time, spoke to a lot of people, had lots of interesting conversations and wish I could do it all over again (despite the heat!)
Tips for the show to my past self
- Drink lots of water (its so hot)
- Chat to anyone and everyone- you never know who they are!
- Team work- Have everyones phone number who's exhibiting so if someones looking at their work and they're not there you can get them back!
- Enjoy it! It goes quickly (apart from the last day!) so make the most of it!
