Following my tutorial where I was advised to look at graphic design I spent a morning in the library looking at illustration and graphic design journals. I was particularly taken by Louise Fili. 
Today we had a talk by Sally Anne Wood. She talked about her degree at NUA through to her work for Kath Kidston. It was a fascinating talk, very easy to relate to. She described the stages of development at Kath Kidston which echoed the steps documented in the book I have been reading - 'Fundamentals of Textile Design' by Alex Russell. In particular I was interested in how they find inspiration, how they develop of the 'story' to form a collection, and especially the trouble taken to ensure the new collections coordinate with existing merchandise. We had a tutorial after the talk. I had not been able to do enough work this week and I hope to compensate in the coming week.
