Before creating the actual bag, we decided to create a cardboard one first to see the sizing and if it would actually work. We created two separate cardboard pieces, one being the main bad and the other being the bum bag which would be detachable from the bag. Initially we thought the sizing was idealContinue reading “Brief 2- Creating our first prototype”

Once we had figured out what and who we were creating for, I created a mood board and muse board for the group which would help us create and develop our sketches for a potential bag. The boards included, our theme, inspiration  from crystals, vaporous tints, our target buyer, certain patterns and colours.  After creatingContinue reading “Brief 2- Developing our ideas”

Once finishing the first part of the brief with a presentation, we finally got back into our groups. Firstly we had a feedback session where we showed each other our work and discussed what we thought looked good and what we could develop for our final product. We were told, as a group we wouldContinue reading “Start of brief 2”

For the final line up I picked 6 designs which fitted well with the Autumn/Winter19 category. These designs included over sized jackets, with the vaporous tints theme blended into them, classic Reebok shoes, and accessories which added to the sports/streetwear vibe. As I wanted the main focus to be on the outfits, I decided theContinue reading “Brief 1- Finishing line up”

For my part of the group I started to create my digital work. Firstly, I started on the Muse Board as I wanted to bring in the chosen muses and why, the colour scheme, patterning and that streetwear vibe. We decided that the patterns would be a marbling effect with pastel colours such as, pinks,Continue reading “Brief 1- Digital work”

During the last week of term, we had a lesson on how to create Muses using a light box, finer liner pens and grey cool pens. Firstly, we needed a large print of a muse we wanted to use meaning it would be easier to draw over. After this, we traced over the face withContinue reading “Brief 1- Creating Muses”

For our group project, we each decided what task we would do and how we would incorporate each others work into. Together we decided that I would create the muse board and the line up whilst the others would create the inspiration page and the flat drawings. Once deciding our individual tasks we decided whatContinue reading “Brief 1- Deciding tasks”

During the last 2 weeks we have been creating shorts as our second assessment. Step by step we were taught how to do certain sections, starting from cutting the patterns out to sewing the final pieces together. As I have become more confident with the sewing machine I was able to do majority of theContinue reading “Assessment 2 (shorts)”

For our next brief we were put into groups depending on what brand we wanted to design for and were put with different courses such as, Textiles and Product Design. Firstly, we were introduced to the brief, looking at the theme, target audience, what each course had to finish by what time and so on. AfterContinue reading “Brief 1- Reebok group”

Once finishing the dress we had to do a photoshoot of our dresses. I wanted someone who portrayed a simple look so my dress would be the centre of attention. I also wanted to keep the makeup simple, again to make sure the model didn’t over power the dress. Setting the scene was the mostContinue reading “Photoshoot”
