First Impressions.


In this module I worked to a concept driven brief called 'First Impressions'. As my first university project, I started thinking about my first impressions of Birmingham as a city and alternatively started wondering, if the city itself could speak, what would its first impression be of me? I produced a lot of drawing simply by looking at my surroundings and observing skylines, buildings, storage containers, pylons, roads, cranes, and the peaks of suburban houses in the distance. I worked right across the board in this module producing printed, woven and embroidered textiles. I started to think about my own transformation and how I felt I'd changed as a result of coming to university. Overall this project really represented transformation; how I had changed, how the environment around me had transformed from a small rural town into a bustling city and how the city is constantly evolving and growing around us. I loved the freedom, the colour, the creativity and the expressive and busy aesthetic I created throughout this brief.
