T-Shirt Design Project- Kate Simpson






In my research I found out about high heel racing in different countries and found this particular image which I paired with the phrase 'head over heels'. I starting a t-shirt design using biro and then moved on to a larger ink painting which I continued to add to, ending up with this final colourful ink painting. I then went on to use this phrase as a tag line for a brand which I used on my packaging for the t-shirts.


T-Shirt Design Project- Kate Simpson



After researching the stiletto heel, I produced several images based on phrases or ideas in it's history. This gold card is a response to the fact that the pressure under a heel is greater than that under the feet of an elephant.


Combining the heel with the stiletto blade it is named after.
Biro and Paint

Symbolising the term 'well-heeled' which used to refer to those of a high social status. 
Influenced by Luke Dixon, using ink.

Image is based on medical problems associated with wearing stiletto heels and depicts an x-ray of a foot whilst wearing heels. I used pencil overlayed with tissue paper and biro.




These images were observational drawings using coloured drawing inks which I allowed to bleed, and then added darker outlining using black ink when they had dried.

Hello from Bex, Kate, Lizzie and Georgie





For our hello project we decided to look at letters as a way to say hello. We experimented with how people greeted each other in different times as well as how people say hello in different countries, and as a welcome to Britain we explored punk as something that is uniquely British but not very obvious. We also thought the postbox was a very British symbol.

Gulliver's Travels Project - Caroline Young

For this project I found a completely new style to work with which is much more digital as I layered my prints and and sketches over either a collage or the original photograph. I have often been quite reluctant to use collage but having had several attempts, and realising that they will not always be successful, as well as discovering the work of Katy Leamay has really made this appeal to me much more. I am quite pleased with my three final outcomes, but I much prefer the image that I have posted here because it does not rely on photographs and it's much more organic.

Inventions project - Caroline Young

Final t-shirt design and package

Another design

I decided to focus on the telephone for my invention and the main idea was being 'trapped in conversation'. I wanted to create a design that consists of lots of different mediums whilst also really capturing the concept of being trapped.
