Responsive: Design Process 2 - Talent Spot

Talent Spot.
Is a platform that Warehouse will use to identify, support and showcase emerging talent in the UK.
Talent Spot Leeds. 
To celebrate the opening of our new store in Trinity Leeds, Warehouse will be scouring the city to find emerging talent across several disciplines. A panel of talented and respected industry experts will work along side Warehouse figure heads to decide the winners.
The chosen few will then have their work showcased in our brand new Trinity store during the opening week in March 2013. 
So…Are you a creative and fit into one of the below categories? Share your work with us and could be part of it!
Are you a singer/songwriter? 
Would you love to perform live in a store window to thousands of people at the new Trinity Leeds centre? Our winning act will perform two acoustic sets in our store window during the opening week.
Are you an Artist, Illustrator or Graphic Designer?
Do you dream of having your work exhibited in an amazing new exhibition space? We’re creating spaces in our new Trinity Leeds store and you could exhibit for the opening week! Your work will need to be displayed in canvas form or in a format that can easily be displayed in our store (all work including installations and sculptures will need to be smaller than 1mx1m)

My entry:
I entered a selection of my work but I had choose pieces that were allowed to be entered without breaking the terms of conditions of competition entries. I didn't have much uni work which I was proud to display but I selected a few pieces of work that showed a range of concepts.


My entry with my 200 words of about me which I did in the style of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, although not original to change the lyrics I thought it might make me stand amongst the crowd instead of generic responses plus it was fun to do.
