I really should have documented my FMP better for my blog, seeing as it is my design blog, but I was just so busy with it that I only managed to take a few photos, but it's better than none right :')
For our FMP we were given the opportunity to write our own brief, and we all changed ours several times over the course of the 3 months we were given, even if it was only a little. I created a 3D illustration and installation representing the Mad Hatter's tea party from Alice in Wonderland using handmade and upcycled objects and materials. So technical and arty with my terminology :') For this is did a lot of research into existing upcycled creations and artists, as well as 3D illustrators and photographers. This project also gave me the opportunity for historical research into the original Alice in Wonderland, the history behind it, the way it ties in logic, the author and the many different ways people/artists have interpreted Carroll's story.
I just found the project very insightful and I feel it has shaped the way I work. I also think my final installation shows how much better suited I am to Visual Communication, rather than pure Graphics.
I made 3 cake stands using crockery and vinyl records. I did a LOT of sewing: I made a tablecloth from 2 bed sheets which I then dyed blue, I made bunting, and I sewed a LOT of felt cakes :D
But enough of me rambling, photos!

And then came opening night and we had to dress all smart while all the parents and industry creatives came round and had a look :3

It was really nice because Tim came to have a look at the show and he was all proud and it was lovely <3
Then it was onwards to the pub for drinks and relaxing after 3 months of stress :')
This has been a very long post, congrats if you have made it to the bottom. Next, Graduation!
