New Designers

On Thursday we took a class trip to London's New Designers 2015. This event is essentially a showcase of young designers from Britain's leading design schools. A limited number of designers from each school are selected to present their ideas, artwork and products, either for purchase or for exposure and recruiting. New Designers features graphic design, illustration, product design, industrial design and so much more. There was so much to see once you stepped inside the building. I spent two hours walking around the building and checking everything out.

While there were a lot of cool new products to check out, my favorite section was the visual communication area. The walls were covered with beautiful illustrations and designs. Illustrations like these on the right caught my eye the most. This collection worked together well because they were all designed in the same vintage style,  and repeat the same colors throughout. The artist put such a level of detail into her work and it turned out beautifully. Each piece unique, but together they work cohesively, repeating the same or similar textures and patterns.

                                                    

I also thought this product design was cool. The designer created a toy that works with a mobile application, and allows working parents to interact with their children while at work. The clean and cohesive display is what caught my eye to begin with. I noticed that as I walked around the building, displays like this one are what caught my eye more than the products themselves.
