Firstly- The fashion textile room is TOOO cramped- to much ''stuff'' everywhere and it just makes everything sooooooo confusing. Abit like this week which I also found very confusing, not only in terms of what the brief was asking but what I was interested in. After much experimentation with the directed drawing and mini sketchbooks , using photo manipulation was something that seemed to work. My concept came from my initial experimentation with materials, I found that metal and shiny objects was something that I found interesting and especially when shiny objects contracted and expanded, hence I began to research and photograph everyday shiny objects that expanded and contracted. Taking this idea I decided to produce some fashion illustrations and enlarging some of my small sketchbooks and drawings which I had produced on both the directed drawing and also that I had done of shiny objects, I then used this to create patterns on the clothing, experimenting with blending and illustration.
Further to this I also produced some 3D accessories using my ideas from the previous week, however I feel that these were less successful as I didn't feel they showed what I wanted to show and also connect with my previous research very well.
Having had the crit I feel I can learn from this project,
- the need to have a breather in a visually dense book, incorporating simpler pages.
- I feel I have also learnt to experiment and take ideas further for example by photocopying my small books I was able to come up with the basis of my fashion illustrations.- basically go with instinct and try things out.
Overall I found the rotation different to what I had intially expected, alot more experimental and in a sense freeer than I had expected, with independence to do what you felt comfortable to do.
