I came onto the art foundation course with the intention of specialising in fashion and textiles. Since GCSE I avoided anything art related but with some encouragement from my uncle I decided to give it a go. So here I am! At the moment we’ve been set a typophilia project where we’ve each been given a letter at random, and after a few days of experimenting with it we were allocated a word beginning with that letter. My letter is ‘K’ and my word is ‘Knockout’. Initially I started playing around with the idea of the knockout girl but somehow she’s materialised into this butch superhero whose diet relies solely on potassium… and I’ve found myself drawing a lot of old people and bananas. The design used for the t-shirt is going to be used as the front cover of a promotional leaflet for how to become this stereotypical iconic superhero.
If you’d like to see more work, I’ve made a blog which you can find here:
