Hampden Park
Stadium,
immers
ing the group
in the powerful traditions of fandom
–
colour, energy,
belonging
and pride.
Workshops at
V&A Dundee
explored
pattern,
symbolism
and creative storytelling, helping pupils think about how a scarf could capture both national identity and their own lived experiences.
Working closely with Aoife
Cawley
, the pupils
(aged
16-18

learned how designer

s experiment, test and refine ideas. They sketched, printed,
sampled
and shaped motifs, building skills in illustration,
pattern
making
and visual communication. Alongside the design work, they explored the fundamentals of marketing
–
how products are promoted, how audiences connect with stories, and how design choices can shape emotion and excitement.
A great design journey cumulating into this
fantastic scarf!
