Being one of two people in the group capable of drawing technical drawings (prvious studies in fashion technology aided me with this), four of us met up on the weekend to finish the line up colouring and start the Technical drawings. Me and Nicole mainly drew a majority of the drawings, but Hayley also helped us once the line up had colour and print drawn onto it.
Our line up illustrations were hand drawn because James Long prefers this - as previously mentioned in the first briefing with Tom. Personally, i wanted to touch up the hand drawn designs on photoshop, but after many suggestions of doing so from myself, the group were adament that everything were to be hand drawn with no competer aids. I feel if we had used photoshop to enhance the drawings and clean them up, print them and work back into them with texture on top, they would look a lot more professional, however at this stage there wasnt a lot i could do to persuade the group. I am all for a hand drawn illustraion and i firmly beleive that it gives a signiture to the work using your own hand, however, enhancing it with programes like photoshop and illustrator does give it the extra 'bang' that gives it a professional finish.
I have a good knowdlege of photoshop and am quite quick at doing so, so it was my responsibility to clean up and straighten out the technical drawings. Below are a few of my own attempts at technical drawings of the mesh panel polo shirt, piped shorts, bomber jacket, sweatshirt and mesh shorts design.
