Contextual studies

For my contextual studies task this week i have to find 10 companies i would be interested in looking at or working for. The companies are based around textiles but i have found other interesting places.

The first company i have found is called Ecojot and is based in Scarborough, Ontario, they are an eco-friendly stationery brand.

 
I think i would be interested in this company because it seems a free and fun style of designing. 
Below is an example of my work and i think i can see similarities in the drawing style. I draw quite childish but i think there is a open sort of careless feel to my style of drawing.


The next company i have looked at are called Marjam Rouden, they are a textile design studio based in london, Islington. I love there design style and i think some aspects of my work have similarities. I will be contacting Marjam Rouden for work experience.


The next company i have looked at are also based in london, they are called keelergordon. They are a printed fashion company with a working studio, this company sounds really interesting as i would love to see how fabrics are created in the textile industry.

The next company i looked at are called Circle Line, unfortunately for legal copyright reasons i cant display there work. On the website they display very unique beautiful fabrics.

When looking at the wallpaper design i saw similarities in my wall paper samples:
  
This deisgn in manipulated through photoshop but it was originally a photograph i took on my recent drawing trip to spain.

My next design company is called Sam Morray Design unfortunately the websites is under construction but i will visit it soon to research in to what they do.

The next artist and designer is called caroline wall design, one of the reasons i have chosen to research in to her is because of the processes she uses which she speaks about on her website..

"Using a combination of hand-drawn skill and computer-aided design, I develop both commercial and bespoke designs in collaboration with client requests."
