Design to me ...

Design covers all aspects of life. It is problem solving and creating; it is something that has an effect on everything. Spatial design influences people’s feelings, moods and much more. It connects to everything in some small way. Connections are what create concepts. They provide links to design something new and unique. They provide influences and this in turn develops into inspiration for better things.

Free Range - London

Well not long back from London now. It was a really good trip. Good to see and take part in Free Range. I think we definitely realised how much work we still have to do. For those who don’t know anything about Free Range it is an Old Truman Brewery special project set up by Tamsin O'Hanlon in 2001 to support new creative talent. The Free Range graduate art and design show takes place every June and July at the Old Truman Brewery. The show provides the best platform for graduate art and design students to showcase their work to both public and industry. Free Range is a one stop shop featuring more than 100 university courses from across the UK providing visitors with a unique opportunity to meet the hottest new creative talent all under one roof . An exhibition for lots of different design courses, mostly graduates.
Whilst down there we went to see the sights. We visited the V&A, which had a really good architecture exhibition called Small Buildings. We also went to the Design Museum (took a bit of a wrong turning on the way there) and it had an excellent sustainability exhibition on. Like true tourists we visited Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Dungeons, Zoo, Covent Gardens and Big Ben also. One of the highlights of the trip was going to see Wicked at the Apollo Theatre, We got the tickets half price and we were sitting right at the front.
Overall it was a brilliant trip and I am definitely considering moving there. Watch out London here I come!
