As colour is going to be an important factor in my design, I wanted to explore the colours used within Cath Kidston's existing designs. They state that they have a bold and distinctive colour palette, therefore this should be explored.
English Heritage
Using the English heritage website, I have been able to research into England's past, and what defines it today. English Heritage exists to help people understand, value, care for and enjoy England's unique heritage. The site is known for looking after the National Heritage Collection of historic sites and monuments, as well as the guardianship of over 500,000 objects and 12 million photographs.
The collection ranges from prehistoric stone circles to a 1960s nuclear bunker, and includes Stonehenge and Hadrian's Wall, Charles Darwin's diaries and the Duke of Wellington's boots.
