Development

This a close up of a design I produced where I have tried to bleed the floras to make my designs look more contemporary, however I feel this design is weak and unsuccessful as it is not sensitive to my mark making within my drawings. This is something I feel I need to improve upon within my deisgn work for my final collection.

Primary Research

These photos were taken at 1940s war retro weekend and gave me loads of ideas for what I could with my work, as well as ideas for minor project on what to draw. I always loved the idea of combining masculine with feminine and I felt the idea of contrasting war with florals was successful concept because it gave a balance to my work, making it more marketable I felt.

This collection by gucci has inspired me because of the bright colors and I what I thought was interesting was the almost contrast between the bright primary colors and the geometric patterns that are so striking.

Flocking, Deveolpment

These pictures show how I have being using the flocking gun to create another layer to my work , however I feel the flocking technique almost takes away my style of drawing away, as my work is quite naive and sensitively drawn.

These photos have inspired me where I have noticed that stripes are making a moment on the catwalk this is a trend I want to try and incorporate within my work, using my medal stripes as color inspiration.

Stripes

These photos show where I have started to think about backgrounds and layering, however to improve these designs I could paint over the white and further more I could layer these deigns some more. Adding embellishment such as hand embroidery or machine embroidery, then taking them further with digital print. 





FMP, Moodboards

These boards show where I have researched menswear and androgyny, for my final collection where I am designing for menswear and womens wear. As I am using my war drawings I decided to create a camouflage background to make my boards more faun and exciting. I feel the back board does not really fit with the camouflage board, I think the images do, but to improve I could have painted this in a camouflage background too, in a contrasting color to link them together.

Hand Painting , Embroidery

Own Photo

This photo is of a hand painted floral taken from my drawing sheet, I painted this out because it was too rigid and lost its charm when I tried to do a repeat design of it in illustrator, this is where I feel the direction of my collection is heading in a more hand painted  fabric design collection.

FMP Drawings:

This drawing sheet is an added addition to my body of work from minor project, as I felt I was lacking something for a design I was currently working on. This sheet may work large scale as a placement, just all hand painted using procions, acids and a little bit of pigment. 

Buisness Cards:

These cards from vista print are my first set of digitally produced cards, I chose this design as it links in with my colour pallet and final collection. I will be producing some more digitally made business cards, in addition to some handmade cards. An array of these cards will be present at my CCAD degree show.
