We’re soo in love with that fridge angie.. ahhhh** :) :) ….

we. are. illuminated.

These are some nice pics from my latest project. We had to design the ‘campaign’ for our end of year student exhibition for FADA – which is the faculty of art,design and architecture – so basically the brief was we could do whatever we wanted but we had to come up with a concept which represented an exhibition of all the different design departments. We had to make an exhibition poster, invite, digital invite and ambient media (advertising in an environment).

My concept was ‘we are illuminated’ ..

Alice in underland

“To celebrate the launch of Tim Burton’s eagerly awaited film, Alice in Wonderland, Selfridges & Co’s Concept Store in London is playing host to a truly unique pop-up shop – Alice in the Wonder Room.

There you’ll find of an inspiring curation of curious delights including original costumes from the film like Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter’s ensemble, plus, don’t miss the opportunity to see iconic scenes from the film recreated in our exclusive window displays, before the film premieres.

The pop up shop will also feature Alice-inspired pieces including Stella McCartney and Tom Binns’ Wonderland jewellery; playing cards and chess boards.”

Wish i could see it for reals. Here are some pics. so just make believe you’re there with teacup in your hand! x x
