Primary and Secondary research exercise

In the primary research exercise, I had walk around the campus and taking picture to get inspiration for my spider on Mars fashion projects, for example looking at the shape and pattern of some school buildings and natural environment around. This exercise had help me to get inspiration and develop new ideas of my fashion collection.


Photo taken around the campus

















Photo that inspired me and some fashion idea sketching

 

The first design of the sleeves and pants, was inspired by the bar sheep Street light.





The second design of the stockings was inspired by the bottle cover around the floor, it remind me of constellation so that I include constellation pattern around the stockings.






The third design of the dress was inspired by the pattern on the sofa, and I had change the  hexagon to circle pattern to represent the marking that left by the UFO. Also I was inspired by the shape of the wooden 3D model to design the high heels.







The fourth design of the dress was inspired by the pattern of the street light, also the vertical, horizontal bar like shape design around the buildings, and the shape of the fences.









The fifth design of the armless silver armour was inspired by the concave floor light, it remind me of a crash marking create by the meteor, so that I design a armour outfit that having meteor crash marking look.




In the secondary research exercise, I had borrow books in the library that relate to my project theme and subject area, that can improve my knowledge and skills in fashion and help me in the project for example books about fashion vocabulary, fashion illustration and clothing making and also books about artists that I will be researching.

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
