At New Designers


This is a picture of my part of the Bradford College stand at New Designers.
(I won't put up the pictures of my cohorts work, as it is their decision whether to publicise their work and not mine, and copyright and all that...)
When setting up we paid great attention not to over clutter our stand, we did not want to over burden the viewer with too much visual information, we wanted space to let the work breathe, as we are all have very different approaches and work in different styles and media.
So we (our stand) did stand out as being rather sparse, but also had a refreshing look, plus there was the lack of digital prints and lazer cutting, all rather new to Bradford College -hey where once Bradford was at the cutting edge of textile manufacturing, the last 40 years has been very hard on the city- but the college is trying very hard to revamp its' image, though I'm afraid it may always loose out to the bright, shiny, glam lights of Leeds. But I think the support and openness it gives to such a broad spectrum of students is worthy of celebrating.
