New project!----Stripes

After Easter no time was wasted in getting stuck into a new project. This time it was all about the stripe. You were allowed to interpret your own idea of what stripes are and I had alot of fun with this. I chose parasites for my source as I find them interesting and are so organic in they're texture and shape that they provided an antidote from my structured ranking project where my source was victorian houses and the sky scrappers of New York.
I worked alot with latex in this project as I think it really worked in getting that slimy, jelly look of the parasites. I experimented with burning fabrics, particularly with the burning of latex covered fabrics.
I really enjoyed putting my mood board together and also my three other swatch boards. I am very happy with my finished body of work.

Fashion Illustration

During Easter we were asked to look at different types of fashion illustration and fabric rendering. For this I made a notebook which included illustrations which I liked and photographers that inspire me. Here are some photographs from the notebook.

Easter Project 2011

We got a brief to do over Easter which was all about texture. We had to source primary research from the environment around us, do analytical drawings, pull shapes and create interesting swatches full of texture. I was most inspired by the natural elements around me as my source for my ranking project was so structured I really wanted to explore more organic sources. Here are photographs of my sketchbook for this project.
