Visual Noise

Well I'm well on the way with my current project which is focused around digitally printed textiles. The brief asked me to create designs for digitally printed fabric and push the boundaries of what pattern is. To begin with I started to make a collection of drawings and photographs I could work from, I then began to combine all the elements. I had my tutorial on Thursday which i'd say went quite well and gave me lots of insight on what to do next bearing in mine this is just a short three week project and must be complete by Thursday! The majority of the imagery I have drawn so far relates to birds and things that fly. It came up in tutorial that I could maybe look at other things that fly and relate to the sky or I could make it a little more interesting by drawing more interesting and different objects! I also need to think about the pattern on a garment and scale and placement and maybe think about what kind of fabric it would work well on.

Finished Trend Book...

Make Do and Mend

Well I finally finished my trendbook and presented my work last week which I feel went really well. Here are just a few pages from the book. The main focus is on colour, prints and fashion illustrations. I did the pages in photoshop using my own drawings and scanned in fabric samples. I printed my pages out and have bound them into a book which includes fabric samples. I'm pleased with my final designs and looking forward to my next project!

Tutorial - 14th December

Before the tutorial I looked over what I had done during the week. I had sourced fabric, done my fashion illustrations, my print designs, started my book pages, and photographed the 'All Saints' store window. I did everything I said I was going to do and i'd say I used my time well although I could have done more work. I feel that my progress this week has been ok, however I could have done more work.

In my tutorial we discussed my fashion illustrations, print designs, layout and what my next steps for the project are going to be. It was said that my prints in progress are looking good, I just need to submit them for screen print and digital print. We also talked about fashion illustrations. I have already done my fashion illustrations but they are too similar as I used the same figure as a template, therefore I am going to redo them using several different figures, and do them in the same style as the original template illustration I did. I need to start to draw from real graments and learn how thhey are constructed in order to improve my fashion illustrations. My page layout is also looking good so far, I need to consider how I will brand all the work.
