Lorraine Hitt - Body Language Reader / Interpreter Headpiece Silver, 2023
Conceptual Jewellery 2D Design
Design jewellery or body adornment on the theme of fungi.
This year entrants are invited to delve into the mysterious, mythical, and medicinal realm of the Fungi kingdom. Designers can approach this fabulous organism from many angles such as biology, ecology, medicine, and materiality to folklore, sci-fi and cuisine!
You are encouraged to be openly imaginative, expressive, and bold in your search for visual statements that capture, represent, and epitomise your unique approach to this concept. Use any materials that support and depict your statement of intent.

Tips
You are encouraged to research in depth, think out-of-the-box & stretch your imagination (and ours!) to the bounds. Remember that the designs in this section do not need to be manufacturable or in any way realistic. Your design concept must be compelling and well presented.
It is important that entrants spend time on outlining their design concept using both the design board and the placeholders on the entry form.
We caught up with John Moore for the 2020/21 competition on his top tips on the 2020/21 2D Conceptual Jewellery brief "Designing for fictional characters".
