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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A
photographed version of my paper produced mood board for my first year ‘DIY
Fashion’ project; this was based on sustainable fashion and held a theme called
‘The Dark Side’. A2 in size, this is my original attempt at collating my ideas
and continued to inspire a thorough sketchbook of research.
The
final illustration of my sustainable design for ‘DIY Fashion’, this shows a
front and back view of what I then progressed to manufacture. A happy accident;
this paper illustration scanned in with an unusual effect – something that I
have then worked with in Photoshop and purposefully incorporated as part of the
outcome. This was initially created using watercolour, ink and fine liner.
In
an attempt to develop my skills further, I created a range of life drawing
pieces after a live model was bought into college for this purpose. All
examples were initially produced in ink, watercolour, chalk or pencil and
ranged from posing in underwear to historical costumes - as seen here. These
given examples are unaltered, original drawings produced within my life drawing
lessons that I have then scanned in and positioned appropriately on Photoshop.
One
of my first given projects in my second year; ‘Fashion Promotion and Styling’ required
the production of a promotional package on a chosen brand – including a
finished look book, business card, advertisement and swing tag after thorough
research into several aspects of promotion and styling. These are example pages taken from my
lookbook, which was based on brand ALLSAINTS, and both front and back views of
my swing tag – all of which were produced on Photoshop.
Scanned
in example pages of my most recent sketchbook for my FMP project; these are specially
selected to show my range of research and visual interpretations of my
thoughts. Having chosen my own theme, ‘Black on Black,’ this entire sketchbook
was created independently and shows various methods of research, analysis, visual
prompts, design experimentation and sampling. Arranged appropriately onto a
page created on Photoshop; I feel these are a good representation of my
sketchbook development but are only a brief example of the extent of work I
have carried out.
This
duo of work has been produced after being inspired by designer ‘Elvira ‘T Hart’
during my FMP development. Using watercolour, ink and machine stitch; these
pieces are now in support of my current work but do originally stem from my
first year mixed media project. Photographed professionally, I have then
uploaded them onto the Apple Macs and arranged them on Photoshop.
As part
of a CAD project set during the first term of my second year at college, I have
created a number of Photoshop generated boards to support my ongoing FMP
development. Based on my chosen theme, ‘Black on Black;’ this is my technical mood
board.
The
second of my boards produced for my CAD project, this illustration board is
also in support of my ongoing FMP project. Incorporating newly created
illustrations, as well as previously developed ideas found throughout my
sketchbook; this board is a realisation of my visual ideas as an ongoing
process. Media used includes watercolour, ink and fine liner – images scanned
in and manipulated using Photoshop.
A
written account on one of my biggest inspirations throughout my FMP project –
this editorial is based on Hannah Marshall’s SS10 collection, ‘Encryption.’
Produced as a Photoshop document appropriate for my theme and editorial
content; this piece of work is essential to my development due to its aesthetic
and academic properties.
A professional
line up of my final three selected designs; this board shows accurate front and
back illustrations of how I hope to progress with the second half of this
project. Having selected and adjusted these three designs accordingly, I hope
to now progress with the realisation of them into three-dimensional professional
garments. Media used includes ink, water colour and Photoshop adjustments.
