During my group tutorial this week it was discussed that I should start drawing bigger drawings. As I am designing for fashion, my drawings should be as big as the garments i am designing for. this will also give me bigger experimental range on my mark making resulting my more creative outcomes.
My drawings have a 3D aspect in the way that I use ripped pieces of paper to add more texture to the drawing. The fact I am also focusing on peeling and decay also naturally gives a more £D effect to my work and so it was suggested that I look into using appliqué with in my designs. But that also brings up the implication of how expensive that would be to produce in comparison to my market I am working towards. So that is also something i shall need to consider further. How will the cost of my process effect the potential cost of the final design and also how will that effect my chosen market.
To develop my drawings further i would like to photocopy them (and perhaps use that copier to manipulate the colours too) and create fashion illustrations and collages from these, just see how these early drawings could also work as prints and give me an idea of what kind of garment my designs could work on.
A mood board for colour should be created by next week. this doesn't have to be final colours but just loosely looking into what colours interest me. and also think about colour distribution. how much colour ratio and where abouts will it be in my designs?
I also need to look at current trends for fashion, so a trip into town to look at the clothes out there will give me a good idea of this. i will also use the internet to look at current trends and even lookbooks within shops.
