Without a doubt, the overarching theme of my body of work this year has been football. Through a variety of projects I have explored different avenues and specfic subject matter within this broader motif and have really enjoyed some of the visual outcomes that have been generated through this. In my ‘Pal/Bastard’ work I play on the already established visual language of past front-of-shirt sponsors shared by Glasgow’s football rivals. ‘We’re aw going tae the ground’ is a conceptual project based around forming an identity for a 70s-era lower league football team, influenced by the over 30 Scottish football greats who are all buried in such close proximity within Cathcart and Linn Cemeteries respectively. My ‘Extending Design’ publication is a visual response to my academic essay that explores the fooball shirt’s journey from player-wear to now being viewed as a coveted fashion piece in its own right, using the Kappa brand as my main case study.
