 Collaboration between University of Brighton and Trading for Development May 2015

TRANSLATE 7 

We are a group of second year Knitted Textile Designers from the University of Brighton who have collaborated to create a digital forecast of design ideas for fair-trade.

 Hopefully you’ll find the information in this presentation inspirational and it will get your creativity flowing! These are ideas that you can adapt 

to your personal design requirements and develop through use of local materials and your own skills.

This seasons palette is light and fun with fiesta reds, calm pinks, to sour greens and ocean teal. Unlikely offsetting and accenting each other, eradicating pre-
