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.
