Graphic design

Even though textiles is my passion, I am also interested in graphic design. I went to work for the Evening Gazette, in Middlesbrough, for 2 weeks. In that two weeks I learnt alot and was given some projects to do. One project was to create a new cover and idenitity for the Stockton news magazine, a monthly magazine for Stockton's residents. I used fabric patterns to create the new masthead and footer. I choose a different identity for the magazine, shortening then name to 'SN'. I designed this over Christmas so the fabric patterns I used had a Christmassy feel as did the photgraphs. All this work was done using software such as InDesign and Photoshop. The Gazette were pleased with my work and so was I.
