Fashion Concepts and New Media

Today we were given a new brief which I am excited to start getting into properly!

Fashion Concepts and New Media is a brief that has been designed to help develop our skills in working as a group to create brand with a new concept that will also have new ways in which of promoting and advertising.

I am really excited to start this brief as I am sure it will hep with the understanding of communication between each person working in the team.

YEN

Our brand has started!

A meeting was called for our team members to discuss the areas we could look at to develop our brand.

We decided to look into Japan and the modern and contemporary are art it holds.
Modern shapes and structures from Japanese Architecture mixing with the contemporary Japanese paintings. From this we have created YEN.

Creative Realisation Techniques

I enjoyed creating these three images. I was able put detail into the drawings on illustrator.


This image below is an idea for a logo for my website page.






I decided to repeat the silhouette to make what could be a repeat pattern.

Drawing Elective

I had chosen to do the photography elective in first year which meant that I my second year I has to take part in a drawing elective.
I felt this would help me experiment with different media to help develop my skills so that I am able to experiment and develop illustrations to their full potential.





Painting a block colour onto a sheet and using bleach to draw with is an interesting way of using new media but isn't something i would consider using within my illustrations.






Continuous line drawings create lines and shapes in a unique way. It is a way of using a pencil in a different way and can also be used with different media. Often it is difficult for the same drawing or shape to be drawn with this technique.





This technique is similar to that of the bleach and painting but this time charcoal is used as the base and the silhouette of the model is erased using a rubber. A technique like this might be difficult for detailing on a product but is something which could be used as a back drop.






The effect of drawing with candle wax gives when ink is added over is one in which I enjoy. It is lovely to see the drawing revealing gradually as you add the ink.






Collaging using recycled and used paper is also a way in which interesting rendering can occur.


In the future I will try and use the above techniques to help develop my sketchbook, research and development work as well as using then in my final line up.

Digital Realisation Techniques

We have recently been briefed on our first project for the year
"Digital Realisation Techniques"
For this project we are having to use new software to develop and create a website for ourselves.
We also have to use Photoshop and Illustrator to create and draw new pieces.

Second Year Begins

Having picked Pathway A (Fashion and Innovation), I am now ready, excited and motivated to start the second year - hoping to learn and pick up some different aspects of Fashion! I'm also a little apprehensive to start using some new software I haven't used so much before ... but I should be alright!
