Colour testing experiment and colour research update


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. Usually the garments that explorers wear are monochrome and a little bit boring. I wanted to add a contrasting colour from the complementary colour scheme on the pockets to make the design more playful and mysterious.


triple group




In this set of design, I had used triple group color theory by using khaki for the base colour and adding alice blue to create colour contrast, then I had pick yellow green in the colour wheel to help balance between khaki and alice blue to create a mild color, also the yellow green give a nature feeling that really matching with the adventure theme.

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 purple and khaki this colour combination really make me think of the iconic character Chessy cat and Alice also the colour combination give me a mystery and dreamy feeling.




split complementary color



I continue to use khaki as the main colour and trying to find combinations based on it, i added a red from the poker card soldier and found another turquoise colour based on the split complementary colour scheme. This colour scheme is often more comfortable for the eyes, it is soft and balances warm and cold colours.


 triple group



For this set of designs, I picked colours from the triple colour theory. I used the khaki and military green for the base colour and added the purple to create a colour contrast between the military green and also give a sci-fi like dreamy feeling to the design.

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

Image
 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
