Sustainability and Design!!


Currently we have a collaborative project mixing it up with the other specialisms in the design school! I'm now working with IED, IMD, IPD and some more. We're working on an environmental project, we need briefs, brands, figures and themes.This project seems like it could be pretty intense but could be quite fun working with graphics and textile and such like. I didnt know anyone in my group, but i'm thinking we're a pretty good group. I've been ruthlessly going through copies of the environmentalist and other eco magazines and books in hopes of finding some exciting methods and thoughtd towards sustainability in design. there just sooo much information, my Jeweller brain is struggling to hold all the info.3rd year has barely started and I'm already finding theres not enough hours in the day to keep up with all the work. BUSY BUSY.

So, I've just created a Blog.

Hello

My name is Roisin Connolly, I am about to begin my 3rd year at Duncan of Jordanstone, doing Jewellery and Metalwork. I'm nervous, things are beginnning to become more intense, the skills of everyone around me seem to be blossoming and people are now beginnning to aquire enough skills to make and design complicted and beautiful pieces. I Love doing jewellery and metalwork and couldn't imagine myself doing any other degree. I though now was the time to create a blog and begin broadening my horizons and looking ahead to after I graduate *touch wood.*
