It's the start of a big week for me as today I begin preparing to exhibit my work at New Designers in London. Since I found out
that I had been chosen I've been busy getting ready, mainly preparing
press material to give out at the show. Promoting myself and having the
confidence to talk to other people about my work is something I struggle
with, but I'm trying to push all the little worries and doubts to the
back of my head and get on with enjoying this experience! It's been really satisfying to compile the press packs, each one feels like a little snapshot of my project.However, after carefully cutting sticking and folding each one by hand I do feel quite strange about just giving them away. Hopefully the visitors at New Designers will appreciate them and feel excited about my work, fingers crossed!
The finished press packs contain my CV, press release, a CD of images, postcard, brochure and business card. Come and see me at New Designers Part 1, Stand T20 if you would like to see more!
I also wanted to share these beautiful flowers I was given upon completing my degree. Sweet Williams and Peonies to brighten up my flat through the long days working on press packs! I have been sharing photos like all of these on Instagram and will probably be sharing more through the next week at New Designers. Please do come and say Hello if you're visiting!
