Degree Show!

This week in the degree show I have been working as a tour guide alongside several other students at my uni. We have been taking Staffordshire schools and colleges around the show, showing them the different courses which are available at our university ranging from animation, surface pattern, graphics to fine art, media production and 3D crafts and ceramics. It has been a pleasure meeting so many children and adults who are also interested in art and design and seeing their reactions when taking them around the degree show.
Each of the courses have been in charge of looking after their own spaces. Within each course, students have agreed to times when they are going to look after their section of the show.
Tomorrow it will be and my friend Gemmas turn to look after our show in Surface Pattern, alongside our tour guiding. We will be there from 10am to 6pm, so feel free to come along and visit.

On a side note, my friend Gemma is also a surface pattern designer. Her work is intricate and detailed specialising in designing for surfaces such as cards and baby wear. She has started up her own blog, gemmalarkin.blogspot.com. Check it out!

For my final project I created a banner and a wallpaper based on a Circus theme. Alongside two other projects- floral ceramic designs and wedding card designs. To be able to view mine and all of the other designers work in person, the degree show will be running until the end of the week, Friday 18th June.

Staffordshire University Art and Design Show 2010

Tomorrow evening is the opening of my degree show alongside my fellow surface pattern designers. It has been a long time coming but I am very excited about it. I get to show my final pieces of work alongside sketchbooks and design development. I have thoroughly enjoyed my course and I think it is shown in my final years work. I am going to be a tour guide for the degree show next week and having already looked around the different degree courses work, I believe it will be an amazing show for all those who are coming to view it.

Here is the link, if anybody is interested in coming to see it.

There is a catalogue for the show, which viewers are allowed to have I think. Each course has a section in it, including mine. Within each section, each of the designers display an image of their work and a little bit of information about themselves.

Welcome!

Hello,
My name is Jenna Mullins and I am a Surface Pattern Designer. Whats that you may ask! Well I design for all different types of ‘surfaces’ such as cards, fabrics, wallpapers, banners and many more. I am currently in my final year at Staffordshire University, about to graduate. Looking to the future, I hope to continue to work in the field of art and design and be successful. Here, I have decided to create my own blog, to document my journey after university and also take note, of all that is inspiring around us.
Hope you enjoy my reading my adventures and feel free to leave comments!
