http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGBDXR3EPjE
I've had this song in my head the whole time i was brainstorming for the project and coming up with the concept of 'autumn' as a brand, and everything we associate with the season..such as;
dried leaves
halloween
cold
fire
toasted marshmallows
red,yellow,brown
dead trees
change
lead up to christmas
longer nights

Orla Kiely

A famous design by Orla Kiely.
Orla Kiely is an Irish designer, at the age of 46, and has been connected with the design world for around a decade, which is an achievment at best. Her company has the condept of simple, kitsch designs which include prints on clothing, furniture, cushions. rugs, bags, kitchenware, luggage and accessories. Her work capsualates influneces from raw nature used to create graphic, simple and kitsch designs, which have proved very popular. I love her work and her designs will be the main influence for my work during this project.
stsrting the project
so at first I found the brief really confusing and didn't have clue where to start, but now I've become inspired by my surroundings. I went to my local woods today and collected lots of different types of autumnal leaves. I took inspiration from Orla Kiely's prints of simple leaf shapes, and theregore started doing my own prints to create an organisation of the autumnal leaves i collected.
