Standfast and Barracks Live Brief
Print Brief
Above is the live brief I got set from Standfast and Barracks. If you haven't heard about Standfast and Barracks before, here is a bit about them taken from their website which you can find by clicking here.
I really enjoy getting new briefs, All the idea's I get in my mind really fuels me to do well. When I got my brief the first thing I did was to read through it and priorities the things I needed to do, Firstly was to look into Spring/Summer 16 trends, I did this on WGSN as other websites I looked at were more interior based. As the brief is quite strict as I have to consider I can only use up to 5 colours, It has to be a repeat pattern at a suitable size for using in industry etc. However I did not let these set rules hinder my creativity just yet as I want to really go all out on the trend I choose and do a lot of experimental artwork to inspire my designs.Based in Lancaster, England and with a heritage stretching back over 80 years Standfast & Barracks are one of the most versatile and capable fabric printers in the world, producing beautiful prints for many of the finest design-led home furnishings and apparel brands on the market.We offer a choice of several fabric printing techniques, from conventional rotary and flatbed screen printing using vat, reactive, pigment, disperse, discharge and acid dyes to the latest ink-jet digital technology for short runs and special designs. Whatever the process, quality and service is assured.Our standard cloth range covers a wide variety of different weights, fibres and constructions, from fine cotton tana lawn to heavy slub linens, raw silk, velvet, wool, nylon and Trevira.A comprehensive design service is available to support our customers through the development process, from initial concept through to bulk delivery, including an in-house separation studio, screen engraving, CAD coloration and sampling.Whether you are an established print house or a new designer looking for a partner in prints there really is no better choice.
Commercial Designer Brief
Above is a second brief for the same project but for the research or 'context file' as it is called. For this brief I have to produce a context file full of my findings along the process of this project. From unpicking my trend, artist/designer research on material,techniques, quality etc, colour palette, comp shop, customer profile board etc. Although there is a lot to do which can be very stressful I thoroughly enjoy doing my context file, I enjoy researching into trends and designers etc.
These are my main set briefs for this project - Keep checking my blog for regular updates on this project.
