FMP: Week Four

DESIGN MUSEUM AND CONTINUATION OF WORK

The fourth week of FMP began with a trip to the Design Museum to visit the 'Hello, My Name is Paul Smith' exhibition, and the Designs of the Year (2014).

Both exhibitions proved to be very interesting and visually exciting. The 'Hello, My Name is Paul Smith' was a lovely insight to the work and personal space and thoughts of the designer and his amazing journey of work - from his time of a student into the international successful designer he is today. The exhibition was great to view in terms of seeing how a working creative not only developed his own work, but viewing his own inspirations and collection of other artists' work - I find it is always nice to view that successful artists will always still have their own set of artists that inspire them and their work, much like smaller working artists and students alike. 

The second part of the trip - The Designs of the Year, for me, proved to be far more interesting and inspiring than the exhibition on Paul Smith (though I did certainty enjoy both). The Designs of the Year showcased a range of work from current students within degrees to working designers, architects and graphic designer - a wider range of work inducing a a wider range of ideas and inspiration, I find.
