Here is a poster for my college Fashion Show I created using my own images on photoshop...

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.

FINAL IMAGE

Box Dress Photo Shoot

Yesterday I did a photo shoot for my FMP from last year, I styled it very simple as I wanted the garment to do the talking! Ive got some editing I still need to do to get them perfect but heres a little peak at some of the shots...

These two images below are my favourites! 

Im going to do some strong stitch lines in the background on the first picture to reflect the stitching detail on my garment and I want to try and photoshop all the other images together to create a three way image capturing all different views of the body and garment
