Live Project: Final design

I have selected this for my final design for the Bradford project. It is also quite different from my other five designs. I have chosen this design for the competition as I feel this is unique to my collection. In addition, I like the way it only uses one reference colour, which is simple, yet effective. This design has been created by using the brush tool in Photoshop. I feel that, out of all my print designs, this one best represents the inspiration of my work. I also used a photograph of my model from the photo shoot I took for my personal project.  This photograph represents what kind of garment I would put my print design on.

Live Project: Other samples.

My inspiration for my visual work has been images that  I have pinned on pinterest for interest and my primary photographs. These are my collection of samples that I have tried out in Photoshop. Some of the designs look quite similar as I wanted it to look like a collection to be used in fashion. All of these print samples are from my drawings. I have worked greatly with mirroring and scale in my work as I feel that has been the most successful part of creating these print designs. I would like these print designs to be printed on a two-piece garment and be displayed in retail outlets such as Top shop, or River Island.https://www.pinterest.com/amb1894/live-board/

Live Project: Drawing and designing

I have tested out different ways of drawing using different media to show how I translate my inspiration of Thailand into my artwork. My work is quite textured in my sketchbook as I want to show how shape has a 3-D feel. I am also using some of my work for my personal project as this is focused on Thai design as well. I will combine my personal and live project to show how I can expand my ideas and use different drawings and designs for both projects.

I will develop this drawing into Photoshop to create different designs and patterns.  I feel the bold shape can be developed and I tend to favour red and blue colours for my drawings. I want to try and expand my colour palettes with my reference colours from my personal project, so they are the same for my live project. I want to try and change the blue and red colours in this painting into Photoshop to perhaps a pink or purple to show different types of bold, bright colours through my work.

This is one of my favourite drawing designs as I feel it can be developed as a brush in photo shop. I liked how the lines are quite expressive but the shape of the Temple was quite refined.

Live project: Bradford Project

As I visited Thailand last year, I wanted to use my primary resources of photographs that I took on my travels. I found this trip to be particularly inspiring for its use of shape and colour. From this, I decided to make my theme of work for the Bradford project, Thailand for fashion. The experience in Thailand consisted of visiting temples, learning the culture and experiencing new places that I had never seen before. When taking these photos in Thailand, I was struck with how I could incorporate them into my university project. I am inspired by the use of vibrant garish colour in Thailand. I have chosen the Bradford textiles project as I feel it correlates to my practice and it will help me to learn new techniques in Photoshop as I will be designing my prints digitally.
