SMART Project

The theme that I chose for this project is Earthly Delight. In my opinion, exploring the unknown is one of the things that delight me the most, I love caving, tracking, sailing, kayaking, canoeing and mountaineering. I wanted to use exploration and Alice in wonderland for my inspiration and develop six fashion illustrations for the final outcome. The project will take six weeks to complete and I will be using mix medium to create these drawings. The target customer for this collection will be celebrities who attend different high class events and the garments that I design will mainly be Haute Couture. I will also be researching different recyclable materials so that the final garment can be more sustainable to the environment. The colour scheme of this project will be using a dreamy palette, including khaki, purple, blue, red and pink.

I will be creating a Spring fashion collection for women on the theme of Alice in Wonderland this will incorporate pocket change and asymmetrical trends, I will be creating a haute couture collection for the catwalk.  My design will use sustainable fabrics for my design.  My collection will be six outfits and I will be hand drawing these designs then adding these to Photshop to create a portfolio that incorporates a colour palette, sustainable materials and my designs.  This will be completed by the deadline at the end of this term.

This season, having various pockets was a massive hit with designer houses. Brands like Givenchy, Miu Miu and Isabel Marant include multiple sets pockets in their designs.

  Are the initial ideas and development clear? Was the research completed and was it clearly linked to the advert? Was the process shown with commentary about tools? Was the final outcome clear?  Could there be any improvements?

Reflection for Art Portfolio two

Image
Overall in Art Portfolio Two, I learned different methods of research such as secondary and primary research, it helped me to get inspiration and develop ideas to improve the outcomes. Also, it helped me have a better understanding of the fashion market and the ideal customer needs. I think the secondary and primary research skills and techniques have really helped me this term to improve my overall portfolio quality. For example, walking around the campus or the local area allowed me to get inspiration and develop ideas by looking at shapes, colour, and the natural environment around me. Also, I visited the fabric shop in person which allowed me to have a better understanding of how different fabrics work and what qualities they have.  In this term, whilst doing secondary research for fashion trends and artist research, I took more care in learning new information which helped me to develop my work. Whereas last term I found it harder to engage with the research and I got more out of

Photoshop Process of my Portfolio

 I began to create my portfolio, so I had my final designs and I knew how I wanted my Space Rangers collection to look.   I began by opening Photoshop and creating a blank A3 sized canvas with 300 resolution.  I did this just be clicking on File - New - Print  and then A3.   I then wanted to add my background which was a Space image I got from unsplash.  So I clicked on File - Open and then I chose the jpg image I had on my desktop.  I then clicked on Image - Image Rotation and 90 degrees counter clockwise as I needed the image to be portraits and I wanted the composition of the planets to compliment my design.  I then clicked on Select All, Then copy and then I clicked back onto my blank canvas and clicked on past. I used the move tool and clicked onto the transform controls and dragged the background over the canvas to create my portfolio backdrop. I then added the logo which we copied and pasted from my previous portfolio for consistency.  I then added the title of my collection
