Personal Project: Visual work

Visual Work:

The idea in these designs is to create something that is quite shambolic and dispersing of paint representing decay and expression. The drawings, inspired from Thailand, have potential for different print design ideas. The process of creating these designs was quite quick and easy and took less time than I initially expected. I used brusho powder paint to experiment and achieve different results.

These drawings could be developed by creating more similar drawing designs but painting and drawing them on a life size garment template shape. This would show how my work would look on clothes without using digital work and to expand my ideas of scale.

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/

Personal project: Film Inspirations and Ideas

I have decided to create a fashion film for my process work to demonstrate my designs. For my film, I am thinking about using footage from repeated mirrored buildings and branches. I want to show parts of both this footage to show my development process of my work at the same time of showing the outcome final designs of my work. The inspiration for this idea was on Nick Knight's fashion video called The Elegant Universe.  This video is filmed by Nick Knight himself on his iPhone. This video is about the mathematics of beauty. This film inspired me greatly namely in the way that they combined the film with textured maps, which are the computers demonstration of the scanned garment. Furthermore, the  variety of colour excites me in this film, and I shall aspire to use a similar wide range of colours within my own work.

Sans couture: This video is for the Chanel haute couture A/W 14 show. Karl Lagerfeld is well known for his seamless dresses and this video contains dresses that are draped wrapped and bound, but lines of selling and construction have been banished. I like the way Lagerfeld has taken his visual work to another level and creating garments which have  a sculpture like quality. I will be projecting my print designs onto a model wearing white garments and I want to think outside of the box in terms of ways I can display my print in a less traditional way.

The fashion film titled FUCCBOI is a film about expression and movement that represents the collection A/W 2014 Hood by Air. I want to use the idea of taking two or three clips showing movement in the film and editing them to combine together and play at the same time when changing the opacity Final Cut Pro.
