Today I went to the design museum to see both the exhibitions Hello, my name is Paul Smith and Designs of the year 2014. Both the exhibitions were nice to see and although didn't exactly link to my project I did enjoy finding out about other works.
Paul Smith's exhibition was amazing to see a fashion designers work and how well he uses colour and pattern. The screens in which he played mesmerising images and his voice overlaying was incredibly beautiful to view and be amongst. I loved how bright and colourful the whole place was and even by having a wall covered in colourful buttons was simple but so effective. It was nice to see his workspace and how colourful it was. This is something that made you feel more connected to his work rather than just a load of works of his planted on the walls of a gallery.
Whilst being at the museum I was able to see the his style with the stripes and put products i've seen to a face. The products such as the Evian bottles which were something I really liked and didn't know until now who made them.
Another exhibition that was there was The Designs of the Year 2014 and although I didn't really have an opinion on the works there it was nice to see some of the things like a car made out of Styrofoam. I didn't really enjoy nor not enjoy this however I feel this because I wanted to find things to link with my project and this was hard to do. Overall, it was a nice visit however didn't really benefit me in this project although may do in the future.
