Waterproof Outdoor Upholstery Canvas Fabricwith UV Resistant and Fire Retardant Coatings I chose the waterproof outdoor canvas fabric to be one of the fabrics that I use because the fabric is strong and very versatile. This fabric is waterproof, lightweight, durable, UV resistant and Fire retardant, allowing the wearer to freely explore the wild.

It is naturally breathable, offers good strength and is abrasion resistant. Finally, it's biodegradable and recyclable. Although man-made fibers can be more water resistant, I wanted to use some natural fabric too so that some of my garments are more breathable and comfortable.

Complementary Color I used the colour khaki and alice blue for this set of designs as I wanted to create a great contrast within my garment.

The third design, I had used the same colour theory by using khaki for the base colour and adding pinkish purple and dark purple on the pocket to create gradient and colour contrast, and lastly by adding alice blue to balance the colour contrast between pinkish purple, dark

In my modify version, I had added a khaki adventure hat on the rabbit and changed the outfit from white to military green to make the rabbit looks more like a adventurer, than I had replaced the skeleton head clock to a compass to give more adventure vibe, lastly I had changed the parrot head to a Cheshire cat, to create a feeling that the Cheshire cat are popping out from the portal.

Colour scheme I will be using the colour scheme of alice blue, obviously it is the iconic colour that represented the movie and the main character, also this colour had appearing on some scenery and object, the other colour I choose is purple because it appearing in a lots of background scenery and character, for example Chessy cat and the poker guard. Lastly I choose dark red because lots of characters had the element of poker pattern, for example the Queen, the king, poker gua
