The Universes Pupils Looking at sustainability and ethics, I researched into the production of hemp and bamboo clothing, pricing and sourcing fabrics that are environmental friendly and made from natural fibres. I applied my most successful designs to a series of different fabrics, using both screen print and heat press to manipulate my garments. This extended to exploring different cuts of shirts, alternative hems, folded sleeves and cuffs.

PROMOTIONAL MAILOUT The first outcome I produced is a promotional mail out which would be the first point of contact with our audience, informing them about our Fedrigoni Paper Event.
Digital communication is constantly growing through the use of social networking and the easy accessibility of the internet. The mail out above I designed to promote and raise awareness of Fedrigoni Paper by inviting our audience to a Fedrigoni paper
craft event. Design agencies and creative minds alike would receive the mail out containing invites to the event, showcasing Fedrigoni’s imaginative colour selection tool. The perforated invitations are a subtle encouragement for the person receiving
the mail out to pass around the invitations by hand. I kept the outer sleeve of the mail out a selection of shades of grey, to add emphasis to the discovery of the colourful paper inside. OUGD203 WILLIAM COTTERILL
