Jennie Whitham is the very lovely and talented designer behind JLWIllustration.
With
a 2.1 Degree in Printed Textiles and Surface Pattern Design from Leeds
College of Art in 2010, Jennie has spent several years working on her
portfolio collections.
Jennie
has recently Graduated from'The Art and Business of Surface Pattern'
course, Created by Beth Nicholls and Rachael Taylor. The course has
allowed Jennie to expand her portfolio as well as push the boundaries of
Surface Pattern, and allowed her further develop her CAD skills.
With
a passion for geometric shapes and florals, Jennie often combines the
two, with bright and inviting colours to create designs that
will(hopefully)make you smile.
Jennie
has work published in a Surface Pattern book, entitled, 'PatternBase',
based around the popular blog with the same name. The book is due for
release early 2013.
We are very excited to bring you details of Jennie's latest project which is a colourful collection of 2014 Calendars, perfect for all walks of life. A creation of bright funky patterns to brighten up your home.
"Surface Pattern has been something that I have been inspired by for years. A Calendar is something every household relies on for those day-to-day reminders. Here I combine the two, using my many years as a Surface Pattern Designer, to bring you a selection of bright and bold 2014 Calendars, perfect for any home.
By supporting my project, you are not only helping invest in someone who has dreamed of seeing their patterns on products for years, but actively encouraging independent creatives to achieve their goals".
