what has inspired me lately?



I found this in a shop in Hartlepool, 'Trash in the Attic'.

I just love it.

 As soon as I saw it I knew I had to get it.




Talk about inspiration for a new brief as well as being a great primary research for drawing. 





The style, colour and shape of the pram are inspiration but I find the torn fastenings, ripped hood, wheels and hub caps are in their own right a piece of art, they tell a story which for me is the most important aspect of inspiration.

My photos dont give this hood and wheels the beauty they deserve.

After finding this amazing pieces of history I began imaging a young child running through a war torn Britain which had  not yet been fully rebuilt. Straight away mt mind began to fill with imagery and design ideas, a story on which to base my next project. To add to this further CCAD held a design event which I thought was amazing. One of the seminars I attended was the History wardrobe, which was thoroughly inspiring with a range of original clothing garments from 1940s-1990s. As one of the talkers walked up and down the aisle to show collections of clothes she was wearing I felt like I was participating in a haute coutre catwalk. But that is not all the clothes and information provided by History Wardrobe added further to my future project. Watch this space because I cant wait to start.
