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.



TWILL COTTON HERRINGBONE GRAPE LEAF


Cotton twill is another fabric that I had chosen. The fabric is made from cotton and woven in a twill weave. 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.




TAFFETASAND



I also chose to use taffeta in my final collection. The fabric uses tightly twisted yarns that are woven together in a plain weave, it is crisps and holds its shape well. Taffeta also has a shine that is unique to the fabric and is resistant to water and wind, making it perfect for my collection.







Water Resistant Breathable Polyester Ripstop



Finally I chose the polyester ripstop with a fluorocarbon coating. The coating allows this fabric to be both breathable and waterproof. It is also very lightweight, making it ideal for sportswear and jacket lining.

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
