I have found the history of Old Acton and the stories shared by its residents very interesting and engaging. I was most inspired by the photographs that captured the number of community activities and events that took place within this area, and the memorable buildings that existed at the time. In reference to this, I have developed a toile pattern that highlights particular sports, racecourse events, the children’s playground and certain buildings, which have then been placed over an outlined map of Acton. In doing so I wanted to connect each event and convey the community as a whole.
