New blog

This is my new design blog, which I want to base more on Surface Design; materials, techniques & outcomes.
I’m a final year Surface Design student at Huddersfield University. My specialisms are CAD and Print, I love designing and photography; my camera and laptop with its design software and graphic tablet are some of the things I defiantly could not live without.
I don’t mind using textiles within my design work but I hate it when someone asks what a surface designer is and sums it up as someone who works with fabric for fashion- the clue is in the title; Surface and personally I’m more into the interior side. I like working with harder materials like wood and plastics etc, testing to see what print techniques can work on different textures and surfaces, then experimenting with the outcome in CAD to see what effects I can create.
I love the idea that I could design for wall-coverings, flooring, textiles or even exteriors; showing that Surface Design is a lot more than fabric.
