Casino Wallpaper

During my second year, we were given the opportunity to work on a brief in groups with fellow peers, the project was to be called 'cityism' as well as working with the wallpaper company 'Tektura'. The idea of this, was to experience what it may feel like it the real design world working with others, and having to overcome certain obstacles together. The final outcome of the project was to produce a piece of wallpaper that was to be printed off by 'Tektura' and an interior object that would fit within the environment of which we were designing for. I was very fortunate enough to work with some great girls, and produce a really outstanding project together!! We set out first researching our own interests within the city of Birmingham, and then showed each other what we found. We decided on the theme of a casino with ours, and that we must create a wall paper very sophsiticated and modern, like that of a casino! We worked for a number of weeks, coming up with different arrangements and objects that inspired us, and decided upon out final piece being more of a feature wall rather than an actual wallpaper, and the black and white really emphasises the beauty and detail within the design.
