Sketch book developments
Reviewing previous sketch books can help evoke understanding of personal working practice and encourage an awareness of personal handwriting. Also it helps to consider ,which way one wants to proceed in terms of illustration style. Considering how I want my new sketch book /journal to look like and how to proceed forward in regard to direction with my masters degree project brief portfolio and analysis reflections.
MA Design Concepts for Final Show
My major Project for my Masters degree is based on Print making techniques within fashion and textiles, developing surface design concepts using other elements/ materials as detail and embellishment.
Using my experience in knitwear design and accessories to develop new and inspirational developments within design practice techniques. My inquiring and questions will be how can I demonstrate that there are links between other modern-ities within other design practices. Showing I can demonstrate visual methodologies of the same choices and aspirations across processes and possible end products through a new hybrid mix of traditional and contemporary techniques. Demonstrating possibilities of final design concepts through illustration.A collaboration of printed textile design techniques using unique tactile visual methodology complexities using illustrating in order to demonstrate how my design ideas can be used including working drawings developing skills in illustration, Photoshop and in-design. I will be creating finished fabrics displayed onto carded hangers and will produce a Look book to use for commercial purposes. However it's a large amount of work and the feedback I have received from people is that its a lot of work, therefore I need to slim it down quite a bit.
I could create a blog book and create final pages of work to illustrate how my printed fabric and wallpaper plus hardware decoration can be worn or created into home-ware through illustration and a look book would not need to be created leaving me more time for practical elements. Also I need to be less wordy when I am writing otherwise it's basically to heady for people to grasp. Pretty sure I can become less wordy. I have selected some previous fashion knitwear ranges from the Pret-a-porter fashion static show with catwalks imagery in order to reflect on previous work to find a cohesive previous work archive to explain what sort of designer I have been to reflect were I might be heading moving forward.
