Make it in Design Summer School 2016
I decided to join all 3 modules of the MIID Summer School 2016 and have just completed the first creative brief for each. It has really made me try new things and I had a lot of fun expanding my style. This is my favourite from the Beginner's Brief "French Riviera". #makeitindesign #summerschool2016 #escapefrenchriviera
