Sustainable Collection Illustrations

In college my latest brief has been based on sustainability and designing a capsule collection (which seems like ages ago!). For my current brief I had to put together a concept board and 4 illustration board to go with my collection. My collection I designed was for the Visionary design Martin Margiela and had a masculine feel to it. For my illustration boards I had to aim them at two different target customers so I chose Visionary and Ready-To-Wear (R-T-W).

MY CONCEPT BOARD

MY COLLECTION 

 

VISIONARY ILLUSTRATIONS 

 These two boards I feel worked really well in the style I chose to work in. I created layers using different medias to create a texture I felt was right for my collection. I really enjoyed collaberating different medias together as I am happy with my outcome. The garments were photocopied versions of my collection as I wanted to create a 'jigsaw' like look to the garments. I also incorporated stitch into sticking them back together. Overall I really like my two boards as I believe they fit into my target market and convey the style I was going for.

R-T-W ILLUSTRATIONS 

 When it came to my R-W-T boards I just wanted to water my Visionary ones done a little bit a I felt the style worked with my collection. To convey texture for this target audience I added acrylic paint to the background in a salmon pink colour, this brings colour through in the illustrations and still works with my collection, I found these two boards harder than my visionary boards as I had to have limits on what I could do rather than go wild like in my other boards. Overall I am happy with my outcome and think the 4 boards work well as a collection!

I think doing this brief has allowed me to experiment more with my drawing skills and develop them further and I really like how my designs are conveyed in this format.
