I had two internships. One was with liberty www.liberty.co.uk helping out their graphics department for a couple of days, and the other was with Duchamp menswear for two weeks http://www.duchamplondon.com/</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Both were extremely enjoyable, and it was good to be out working in industry and meeting new people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As well as the internships I also helped out at college for a few days with some Summer school classes. One was with adult learners and the other with school children. It involved taking visits out to the Barbara Hepworth Museum in Wakefield, and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Then helping with the print classes that followed the visits. It was really nice to be able to use my knowledge of the print room, and from my course to help others create their own work.</span>Becca Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795229830181198582noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526655450597251201.post-19669065242859200912012-06-11T20:10:00.000+01:002012-06-11T20:10:06.518+01:00Zombie Wrapping Paper - 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A friend of mine on Twitter, Marc (@marcpaterson) was making a short zombie film and asked if I would create something to appear in the film. At the beginning is a birthday scene and I produced some prints that were used as wrapping paper for the presents. I did them based around the theme of zombies. So there are weapons to kill zombies, the bio-hazard symbol with florals and brains.</span></div>

I am wanting to recreate the kind of patterns he produced using florals and incorporating small mammals, like mice and rabbits and also birds. But I also want to add a modern twist by adding inanimate objects relating to the rooms the wallpapers will be displayed in.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Firstly I discharge printed different samples of images onto the digitally printed backgrounds in strips.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I didn't discharge print on the following images as the background was more sparse. Instead I printed over the top with a soft brown on one, and an off white on the other. I liked the colours but I didn't like the backgrounds as much. </span> </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">After discharge printing on the backgrounds I also printed gold binder over the top. It doesn't show so well in the images but it looks really effective on the silk. Again the green, brown and gold look really lovely. I think I'm really going to go with those murky colours and gold binder with my final images.</span> </div><br />

Ordinarily I would say no but being stalled with your idea and not being able to take it forward, this makes things difficult. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So....I'm changing my idea. I'm running with an idea that started in my CAD elective and already I've got far more things to draw and lots of patterns to draw and adapt. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Because this project is mainly just visual research I just have to knuckle down and make sure I have some drawings to present next week along with the colour's that I want to use. I'm going for brights so this should be interesting. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</div><div style="text-shadow: none;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The other day I popped into the Vans shop in Leeds and was chatting to a really nice guy called Mark who let me take some pictures. We had a chat about New York, skating, fixed gear, vinyl figures and hipsters. They have a ramp in there but unfortunately because of the insurance it's only displaying clothes, and no skaters.</span></div><div style="text-shadow: none;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aElmznbIuuc/TNMG5i_YbxI/AAAAAAAAAUo/-rlX5_ZCcxI/s1600/IMG_1313.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aElmznbIuuc/TNMG5i_YbxI/AAAAAAAAAUo/-rlX5_ZCcxI/s320/IMG_1313.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Even though I was wearing gloves today in the dye workshop, I still managed to dye my finger tip blue and my thumb brown. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I learnt about Indigo, Potassium Permanganate and Citric Acid dye's today.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I managed to get Indigo dye spots on my light grey jeans....I used the process of applying the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Potassium Permanganate dye to remove the Indigo dye and then the Citric Acid dye to remove the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Potassium Permanganate....it worked....was rather pleased with myself. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Note to self, next week wear old clothes as some people aren't as careful with the dye's!!!</span>Becca Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795229830181198582noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526655450597251201.post-65929608278002583662010-09-28T00:58:00.002+01:002010-09-28T13:28:48.890+01:00New York - Sept 2010<div style="text-shadow: none;"><div style="text-shadow: none;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-shadow: none;">I took a birthday trip to New York and was very inspired.

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Final project of the year is a personal project. I've decided to create patterns for glass using abstract images of flowers. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Here are a few of my sketches.</span><br />

Scanning in images and rotating shapes to create patterns.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">As well as using the laser cutter to engrave into perspex, I also created templates with vinyl and brown tape stuck onto glass to use in the sandblaster.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Next step is engrave back into these sandblasted samples with more intricate patterns. </span>Becca Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795229830181198582noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526655450597251201.post-19154059469355155172010-03-18T21:40:00.002+00:002010-03-18T21:54:31.659+00:00Wallcoverings Project Feb/March 2010<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;">Brief - To produce a collection of designs for wallcoverings looking at Greek and Roman sculpture and antiquity.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I did quite a few drawings from a copy of World of Interiors and an article on a recreation in a Berlin museum of Duke Moritz William of Saxe-Merseburg’s ‘Spiegelkabinett,’ which translated means ‘hall of mirrors’ or ‘house of mirrors.’ used to display artifacts.</span><br />

I liked the idea of using this image as a centre piece for my designs.</span><br />

I did add some pale colour in and also some gold on the leaves but it did get a little lost within the layers of Gesso. Also adding a lot of layers means it takes longer to rub areas off to reveal the image underneath. There is also the risk that the wet and dry sandpaper will rub through the photocopy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

The easiest way was to photocopy my designs and try fitting them together.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I also though about the use of the leaves and I drew up some leaves that I scanned into Illustrator and strung them together to make long garlands. These came out really nicely using the laser cutter, which isn't always the most simplest of things to use. But practice makes perfect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I love how the black leaves look. I've thought of using them to make layers on my backgrounds.</span><br />

The print has been printed with gold foil. Scrunching the foil paper up before heat pressing it on also meant the creases stuck to areas of the background where there had been acrylic paint, leaving interesting lines and patterns.</span><br />

Using the black paper and grey acrylic paint background I have flocked the design onto it with flock paper. I love the effect of the black flock on the dark background. I think the flock shows up the detail of the lines of the drawings really well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I am now looking at extending my ideas and taking the images to a larger A1 scale. I'm considering using hints of black and gold foil as highlights to the decoration and also more flock as I love the effect of this. </span><br />

The brief was to create designs for a fashion fabric using drawing, disperse printing and Illustrator. I had to hand in 5 50x50cm drawings, 3 A3 Illustrator images and 6 to 8 A2 size disperse printed fabrics. We had approximately 6 weeks to do this, with two week rotating workshops in each discipline. The subject as you can probably tell, was flowers. My favourite being a hydrangea</span>, <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">which was quite hard to get away from drawing. I decided to produce a Man's fashion fabric rather then a womens, looking at 18th Century mens clothing as inspiration</span>.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Jan 2010 - This was the start of a short four week artist book project. This year is the 13th Annual Artist Book Fair in Leeds and Glasgow. As usual our college has several stands for the exhibition and our brief was to produce an artist book based around a chosen object and a series of repeat patterns bound into a seperate book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aElmznbIuuc/S3PSmYGImHI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/Mp6Y6PgkHao/s1600-h/IMG_0748.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aElmznbIuuc/S3PSmYGImHI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/Mp6Y6PgkHao/s320/IMG_0748.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My artist book was based around a vinyl figure I was bought whilst on a trip to Los Angeles in 2007. I decided to base my artist book on my trip to Los Angeles and the format of my book was a map. I screen printed a layout of the places I'd been to, along with illustrations and descriptions. I then worked back into the screen print with pen and ink. My time in L.A was bright and sunny and I wanted my images to reflect this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aElmznbIuuc/S3PSe8ddNtI/AAAAAAAAAMI/XG-3ZUbcTY8/s1600-h/IMG_0750.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aElmznbIuuc/S3PSe8ddNtI/AAAAAAAAAMI/XG-3ZUbcTY8/s320/IMG_0750.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> I looked at memory maps to give me ideas and also looked at the way maps are folded so I could mimic the folds for my finished map. Lastly I attached a cover with ribbon to keep the map closed. I'm really proud with how it looks. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> In keeping with the look of my artist book I bound all my drawings, research and prints with corresponding covers and titles using the Japanese binding technique which works really well on seperate pages.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aElmznbIuuc/S3PTNegpDZI/AAAAAAAAAMg/AUsxJyFGYHM/s1600-h/IMG_0745.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aElmznbIuuc/S3PTNegpDZI/AAAAAAAAAMg/AUsxJyFGYHM/s320/IMG_0745.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> As well as my map I also produced two mini artist books. These mini books contain only two loose pages with lino prints of an avocado and an avocado sushi roll. The books are called 'From Fruit to Roll.' One has green covers with brown prints and brown sash holding the pages together. The other has cream covers, green print and green sash. The title of the books are letters punched into copper plate, fixed to the covers.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I'm really looking forward to the exhibition. Our college has also been invited to show at the artist book fair in Amsterdam. Having a love of books means I've been really interested in the project and I feel it's something I would like to get involved with in the future.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Feb 2010 - Now the artist book project has been handed in it's time to research </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">for the next project which is wallpaper</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">. I was lucky enough to attend a special talk at Temple Newsam recently</span>. <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">They are currently showing an exhibition of wallpaper called Wonderwall. The curator spoke to us about the history of wallpaper and gave us a tour of the exhibition. We also had talks from Allyson McDermott on reproducing historic wallpapers and Paul Simmons from Timourous Beasties. Have to say Paul was a really nice guy, really interesting and I took a lot from his talk. It gave me ideas for my current project and how I might want to take my practice in the future.</span><br />
