SOMEWHERE

TO STAY

We had so much fun living in the

cottage. I made some brilliant friends

who Ill keep in touch with. It wasgreat to have some independence

and explore Yorkshire on the

weekends too.

The cottage is situated approximately 15 minutes

drive away rom Tigerprint. The cottage and studio

are set in West Yorkshire with plenty near by and

loads to keep you busy but Cottingley isnt the best

or public transport unortunately, but once you get

into the neighbouring towns o Saltaire and Bingley

your only train or bus ride away rom the Yorkshire

Dales, Leeds and Bradord, were not too ar rom

Manchester either.

Because the house is in a rural setting your SatNav

may not work. Theres a little map and directions

rom Tigerprint on the next page.

I got to create paper shoesand handbags, creating new

and innovative shapes (to

be made into a card) I also

got to make a 3D Christmasroom decoration/ light and

a pleated and a puncture

lamp. In store in 2011!

What did you most enjoy about your placement?

The two bries that I was given played on the strengths I

gained at University, but they also pushed and challengedme commercially. The Studio is exciting and has such a

diversity o talent, everybody is keen to help and really

interested in anything new going on. I mostly enjoyed being

able and encouraged to take my concepts (Uni based ideas)

to a commercial level and seeing my designs go rom an

idea into an actual product and then maybe into M&S!Its great!

Whilst on placement I got to

work on a Stationary brie,

designing a recipe book, addressbook and shopping list etc or a

particular look. I was then able

to work on the New Designers

brie, designing cards, POS and

packaging using typography

and illustration.

What did you most enjoy

about your placement?

I loved being able to experiment,

use oil and itter or the frst time,

this opened up a whole new world

or the way my work looked. I also

learnt how to mock up properly

and see my work in print. It is a

really exciting environment to work

in and its made even better by the

people you get to work with who

have a huge amount o talent.

illustration

Please describe what you

did whilst on your placement

i.e. briefs worked on etc.

I worked on a variety o

typographic Christmas cards which

were then used in the Christmas

range. I also had the opportunityto design a range o illustrative

and hand rendered type cards or

a New Designers range - the only

requirement was that the images

were all in black and gold only.

The challenge o using my designs/illustrations or a real design

brie was also really exciting. Its nice to see a design created

and properly mocked up. I also loved living in the cottage and

meeting other art and design graduates. I made lots o riends!
