orla kiely - shape book

I found an Oral Kiely book in the library which showed how simple shaped can be transformed into animals/ objects. I found this really helpful when it came to designing for the brief. 

I really like Orla Kiely's design work on how simplistic it is, it's almost childish but it works well in context. 

I found it interesting that there was a couple of pages in the book about bee/ honey comb designs. Orla designs her bees in a very simplistic way, using a stripes oval and two half ovals as wings. I really like this simplicity and will consider it in my own designs. 

 In terms of honeycomb, this is already provided by bumble however I like how Orla has used her honeycomb and may consider creating a honeycomb for bumble in different colours/ different shades.
