Smithfield is always a good place to start

I didn't really know what to expect when I started 1st year viscom but one things for sure I definitely didn't think we would have been spending most of our days wondering the streets of Belfast, more specifically the neglected area that goes by the name of Smithfield.

However at what first looked like no more than empty shops and overflowing bins, lay inspiration that led to creative sketches and illustrations, and even beautiful photography.

If ever there were a place that screamed "look beneath the surface" Smithfield would win hands down.

"Plants cry their gratitude for the sun in green joy."

isn't there something beautiful about the composition?
