Papercuts now being Stocked!
My paper cuts are now being stocked in this gallery/exhibition shop. Which is called Welcome Home and is based in Edinburgh. I contacted Mhari (the owner) through twitter as she was asking for prints for an exhibition but I asked her if she would be interested in paper cuts too. She said no, as the exhibition was to be purely printed material, but as she really liked my work she asked if she could stock some and she asked for the following things:
2 Paper cut Frames with a single Bird
2 Paper cut Frames with birds on wires
2 Paper cut Cheshire Cats..... and finally
5 Mini Paper cut Alice's (from Alice in wonderland)!
I have already created these and I am waiting for some clear cellophane sleeves to package them all in. They need to be individually packaged and have a thick white card backing to prevent damage. I will be sending these of at the end of the week and will receive 60% of the profits from whatever sells. I will update more when they are up for sale in the shop and can provide a link.
Tutorial with John....
From my tutorial with John, I felt I got great feedback about my promotional pack. John asked me to create five promotional packs to send to five new contacts for work experience placements or to people I would like to do work with. Im thinking production line creation for this to get done quicker!

Final SOI & Rationale
My Final Rationale:
This year I want to develop my illustration skills by focusing on using paper cutting as a method and typography, fairy tales, myths and legends as subjects. I feel I also need to develop these skills, as they are essential for the area of design and illustration I would like to go into after I finish my degree. I think focusing on specific areas will help my illustrations have relevance, meaning and credibility. I would like to explore different products and contexts to put my designs to use in real environments and this also appeals to my desire to explore a variety of materials, techniques and processes. I would like to create illustrations with a meaning so they are not just something pretty to look at, so when illustrating, I would like to have a narrative or specific topic to focus my skills on, such as fairy tales. I would also like to produce more booklets and small publications that use illustrations and typography to communicate informative facts and ideas based around my interests. Overall I feel my illustration and drawing skills need to be improved and developed, which drawing on a regular basis would improve, as this will help inform my style, skills and help me to develop other areas such as layout, colour management and illustration methods and techniques.
My final Statement of Intent:
I would like to be illustrating more on a regular basis, as this will help me explore subjects of interest, which will develop my idea generating skills and the ways I illustrate. I will explore materials and methods of illustration such as paper cut and hand drawn. In relation to typography and my interest and skills in this area, I will illustrate existing fonts, typefaces and characters from the alphabet, while developing my skill to draw typography freehand. I will also research other people who create similar things to what I would like to produce. The briefs I have chosen are all heavily based on illustration, whether that is pure illustrated imagery or type as image. I would like to explore methods of production and I would like to focus on illustrating my interests onto every day objects in the home such as mugs, lamps, plates etc as I would like my work to have a practical use, while being meaningful. I would also like to gain a few work experience placements with some illustrators or crafting designers to understand their design process and how I can enhance mine to the degree of professionalism it takes to set up my own studio or work freelance.

Radiance Lighting
Today I went to meet Hannah Nunn about my lampshade designs.
Hannah contacted me on twitter and commented that she liked my papercut designs and i looked at what she creates, which is papercut lampshades and I was instantly interested in her work! I arranged a meeting with her at her shop in Hebden Bridge and I went along with my designs for my lampshades and my personal paper cuts to ask her opinion on them and she gave me really good feedback about my designs and she gave me some helpful tips on the processes and materials I can use, along with some safety information.
In regards to materials and safety I was told that as long as the material of the lampshade was at least three cm away from the bulb there should be no fire hazard and the material should be scorch tested to make sure it doesn't burst into flames. If it scorches it is safe, but if it sets alight then it is deemed not safe for production and sale. The bulb fixture and plastic components that hold the wire and stand for the lampshades that Hannah uses are her secret find and she would not tell me where she buys them, but she uses them for all her lampshades, which are all paper and cut by laser. Each lampshade is encased in a fireproof laminate that is sealed and clipped onto the lampshade base.
I also asked about pricing and wholesale as I was interested to see what price I could and would charge for my lampshades if they were made to a professional standard plus I asked about approaching shops and retailers with my designs, the quality of my designs and the standard of my materials.
In relation to pricing and wholesale, I would need to come up with a price that seems profitable and reasonable as a direct selling price to customers, which could then have 40% deducted from it and still leave me with a reasonable profit. This method of pricing is appropriate for wholesale and for retailers, where they would take 40% of the profit and I would get 60% (this is the price Hannah charges for designers work) The quality of my designs and materials were said to be professional and creative. Hannah really liked my designs for my lampshades and my personal paper cuts, which gave me a boost in confidence as she is a professional, creating similar products and making a living from it. The quality of materials I used were said to be fine too (generic cartridge paper) for lampshade production and safe to use. When approaching retailers, I asked about stock and variety, and Hannah said that it would be best to have at least six lampshade designs and a variety of designs to approach the retailers with so they could have a choice of design to place in their shops but not too much of a certain design in case it isn't popular and doesn't sell.
I feel as though the whole visit was productive and has really helped me with my project. I know understand the safety elements of designing lampshades, the materials that are appropriate and the best way to price my lampshades and approach retailers. Thanks Hannah!

Promotional Kit Feedback
Following is my feedback about my promotional pack. I agree with some of the comments, such as the packaging might be too fiddly and confusing to open/close, i could show my work in a more compact way (instead of having all work shown, put all samples into one booklet maybe) Also cost of production was mentioned as i have used a variety of stocks but i would intend to send this package to a select few designers and not use it as a mass marketing/promotional mail out.

Promotional Pack
This is my promotional pack that i would send out to a select few designers/crafters. I have used a few quality stocks and methods of folding to hold my work examples and business card. As the people i would send my promo pack to would appreciate stocks and techniques, i have included actual pieces of my work that they would be able to keep and have included a letterhead that i would hand write as i think this more personal touch would help them to remember me. I know that if i was going to create a more general mailshot piece, that i would send out to a large amount of designers or companies, i would create a smaller, lighter piece of stationery that would show examples of my work instead of including actual work and this would be put into a smaller and more appropriate envelope too.
Summer Presentation
This summer I got a placement working at the Leeds Guide magazine, working with the design team and I worked there for two weeks. I got the opportunity to produce a brochure for Leeds Opera in the Park, to produce layouts for the magazine that went to print and create adverts for clients. As a bonus I also got interviewed for the magazine insert they produce called city living.
These are just a sample of the layouts I produced for the Leeds Guide Supplement called “City living” and this magazine is what i did the most work on during my work experience. I would have to produce a layout of what I thought looked appropriate and then take it to the editor for him to approve. Everything was provided, such as images and text and I just had to place them in a pleasing layout.
I also got to create adverts for outside clients that would pay for advert space in the magazine. I would have a few rules that i would have to stick to such as certain sentences or phrases and logos or colours but the layout and design would be completely my choice. I would then send a draft off to the client and would wait for the go ahead to place it in the magazine or for changes to be made. The top left image is of the final design i produced for Haha Bar and this is the design the clients went with. In the bottom left you can see an image that I produced as a mock front cover that would go in the back of the current magazine and be used to advertise the next issue. I got to work directly with the head designer on the magazine layouts each week and got given certain layouts that I had to produce to the same deadlines of the design team. Working alongside the other designers and to the same deadlines was a challenge but if I ever didn’t understand anything or know what to do, they were always there to ask questions.
While working at the magazine they asked me if I wanted to be interviewed for their regular column in the City Living section, which focuses on people who live in Leeds and their homes. Then I would also be able to layout my own interview. The images on the right show my interview and the photos they took of my apartment and me. The image on the top left shows the brochure I produced alongside the magazine layouts for the Leeds Guide as they also design things for local businesses and the client was Leeds City Council. I designed the whole brochure from start to finish for the Opera in the Park festival except the adverts that were already created and the client already chose the template of the green tree. This brochure of my design was sent to print and sold at the event, I got my copy for free!
These images are examples of the cover designs I produced for the Leeds Guide student guide that they produce once a year. I had total freedom to create imagery and the use of a huge image library. They wanted to re-brand the magazine and wanted it to feel more student-like so they asked me to produce small doodles and sketches that I could incorporate into the designs of the brand and the cover.
These images are of some of the re-branding ideas I had for the Student Guide and I had to stick to the headings, titles and topics they cover but I got to play around with type, image, colour and layout. While creating re-branding for the magazine I also suggested they approach Don't Panic to place advertising in their packages in the form of postcards and mini flyers advertising the Leeds guide and what they cover in the magazine. After my placement was over the head designer said he liked what I had produced and how I work fits in well within their team, so if when I finish university I don't know what to do, I should come and apply to work as a full time designer for the Leeds Guide, as they would gladly take me on.
Over the summer I decided to focus on developing my illustration skills as I had developed my layout and typography skills at the magazine and wanted to develop another of my weak areas. I decided to focus on a main brief of creating an A-Z book of Birds, and I worked on my illustrations also by drawing regularly. With all this loose work I decided I would create a series of books as an end product and as I had quite a bit of work from my work experience I also created three booklets, one of layouts, one of illustrator experiments and one of cover designs. I then created a booklet of the A-Z of Birds and a booklet of doodles and drawing experiments that I had created over summer. I chose to focus on making books as it is something I would like to go into in my third year, small publications and focusing on design for print, it also fit quite nicely into my dissertation topic too which is to focus on what gives small handmade publications value.
These are a few of the bird illustrations I did. I researched a few birds and found a bird for every letter of the alphabet then as I really wanted to develop both my hand drawn and digital illustrating skills, I created them by hand first, just the general outline drawing, then I scanned them into the computer and transferred them into illustrator to be coloured. I then placed these images into an InDesign document to create the A-Z booklet of illustrated birds and as I was doing this I had been contacting designers and illustrators in regards to my work and I contacted Michael Nobbs, an illustrator, about my bird designs and he promoted them on his twitter account and since then I have kept in contact with him, showing him my work and have had a good response, just keeping up communication.
These are a small selection of my other work I did to develop my illustration skills and understanding of hand drawn typography. With some of them, I experimented with different materials to what I use normally and the first image is of a water colour background and hand drawn typography which I scanned in and turned into a vectors, the second image is of cut out typography from collected paper and the third top image is a silhouette style image that I created. The bottom right image is also a small hand drawn, pen and paper experiment that I created. Throughout the booklet of summer doodles I have experimented with typography and illustration to get me to draw more, as this is something I know I need to do.
Before summer I had an interest in papercut typography and artwork, which I wanted to develop into something I could use myself in my own work. These are just a few people that I admire in that art form. The first top image and first bottom image is by Heather Moore; a South African paper cut artist and illustrator, who I have also contacted for her opinion on my paper cut work and got a really positive response back. The second image is by Julene Harrison, who’s illustrated typography mixed with paper cut art I find really inspiring and the third top image and second bottom images are by Annie Vought. I have taken inspiration from these designers and created my own paper cut work.
These are a few of my paper cut designs that I have created over summer. I wanted to create something that would show the patience and skill involved to create, something so fragile and as I had created a few paper cut quote designs before summer, on a theme of Alice in Wonderland, I stuck with quotes from this and used my illustrated leaves that I produced in the first year project of a book of 100 leaves to create the bottom paper cut of two leaves.
This summer I have opened an online shop on a website called etsy, that is based in America., where you can buy and sell anything handmade such as illustrations, paper creations, hand made books and things like that and I have made my paper cut designs available for sale. Within a few hours of making my bird/mirror paper cut from the previous slide, available for sale, it made it to the front page of the website and I got over 1000 views in a few hours. After this etsy also put two of my paper cut designs in gift guides for buyers to view and that got me two sales from my shop. I then uploaded a few of these images to a website called Society6. This website is a place to upload your work and your place on the website is called your studio. Within a few hours of me uploading my work there I was on the front page of that website too and within the week I was one of their top 15 studios that has been promoted by 27 other users. For this online shop and presence I have also created a blog and branded everything to do with my work so people will recognize my work and me.
My dissertation topic is “What is the Value of hanmade publications?” and these are images of people’s work who I have contacted in regards to my dissertation research. I contacted Alex Wrekk who is the author of “Stolen Sharpie Revolution” a mini book about zines and zine culture. The next image is of a small light blue zine called “Shebang zine” and the third and bottom images are of work by Craig Atkinson of Café Royal, who produces zines and also distributes them. I have asked them all questions and have received answers from Alex and Craig but im still waiting to hear back from Shebang Zine.
The following images are of people’s work that I would like to focus on next year. Not their actual work but the things they produce an their processes. In my final year I would like to develop my skills in paper cutting, illustrating, hand drawn typography, and creating small publications. These are things that I am already interested in but would like to focus more on to develop and I would like to incorporate all these processes in all my work this year. I also would like to get another work experience placement with a more creative company or visit illustrators to see the processes they use and the way they take on a brief as my placement was quite regimented and wasn’t that creative, which has been a learning curve for me as I I know now that I do not want to go into magazine layout, but before summer, I did.
