OUGD502 Task 1 - Roots. Business Cards





We all had individual parts and research in our plan, Becky has designed us as a teams business cards with influence and input from everyone..

Becky had a range of ideas and creation she then shared these with our group to finalise some decisions. We chose to use a textured stock with the option of duplexing with an indiviudal colour of our choice so we could all have our own business cards to share with people we meet. We felt this added personality and character to our partnership.

OUGD502 Task 1 - Roots Floor plan





































I created a birds eye view of my and our dream studio I created
a small diagram to give insight into what our design studio would
look like. Our studio would have a presentation area to present to
clients which will look like a garden hence 'roots' we will have 5 desks
one spare for guests or even a intern or a new member!
A seating area made from our logotype and of course a kitchen area
for when we need a brew or get peckish and of course to be hospitable
to our clients.

Insight: Studios expose the rich diversity of artists practice, broker
new relationships, collaborations and events and play a pivotal role
in a city’s cultural and creative identity.

We offer artists affordable, diverse and managed studios based within
active and inspiring environments. Over the last twenty years studios
have remained a constant in the work we do in support of artists.

Studio holders are an important part of our community and we work
hard to ensure we have the right kind of space for you. We welcome
artists working across art forms and at different stages of their careers.

We currently have over 200 artists and groups working across our range
of venues in the UK. In Leeds we host studios at Patrick Studios, Barkston
