Trend Moodboard

 
This mood board was created to induce inspiration for the ‘Sweet Temptations’ pastel based theme given to us as part of a first year Trend Project. Produced using Photoshop in a CAD format; this is a refined collation of my initial ideas. As seen here, this board is of a predominately pale blue orientation - due to my preference of the shade and plans to incorporate this within my final garment.

Trend Line Up

 
After thorough sketchbook work and continuous development of ideas; these are a selection of my final designs for my Trend Project. Initially drawn onto layout paper using Pro-markers and including accurate annotation, I have since scanned them into a digital format and have arranged both front and back views of each design appropriately on Photoshop.

Show Garment Illustration

 
After reviewing my twenty design ideas, I chose to produce this blue full-circular skirt dress for the second part of our brief; ‘Show Garment Manufacture.’ Illustrated appropriately as part of my final exhibition board – this is the original drawing scanned in, cropped down but un-edited. I did this fashion illustration using a combination of watercolour and pencil, due to my preference of sketch but desire for a professional result due to the nature of the final board.

Show Garment Photography

 
Edited on Photoshop and executed with professional Canon cameras; these are two examples of the work produced for my photography based ‘Spotlight’ project - which was focused on showing  the end realisation of our Show Garment. Due to my developed taste since this project, I have found that my original photos weren’t appealing to me. Although the photo’s I have selected here aren’t of the highest standard; I feel that they showcase my work more effectively and of more of a high fashion orientation. Plus a sense of humour is essential in such an industry.

Fashion Illustration - Single

 
An interpretation of one of ‘Kathyrn Elyse’s’ fashion illustration; this example of my work showcases my developed skills regarding wet media, as I produced this using watercolour and fine liner. Informing my first year mixed media project, this is a scanned in piece originally found within my sketchbook.

Fashion illustration - Line up

 
Also sketchbook examples of my mixed media progress; these are further interpretation pieces informed my artists such as Virginia Fisher, David Downtown and Marcel Fromenti. Created using media such as ink, watercolour, fine liner, chalk, newspaper and tissue paper; since producing these I have scanned them into Photoshop and created a board to show my varied illustration skills during this year one project.

Fashion Illustration - Charcoal

 
Experimenting with different media as part of my first year fashion illustration project; these drawings show personally developed figures and my illustrated versions of existing garments seen in editorial pictures or on runway shows. Working with charcoal, I was able to develop my knowledge concerning the use of dry media and continued to mix it with others such as chalk.
