By making my fashion designs digital, it allows me to make complex
prints in my sketchbook without cutting them out and sticking them on top,
which I personally think makes them look less professional and weaker.
This was the part of the week that I
enjoyed the most because it incorporated designing in with the print and made
it so much easier to visualise what the garment would look like once made. When
I put my prints onto a model found from the internet, I thought it looked good
but would be more interesting to use my own illustration and scan them in. The
main problem with this was that the quality of the images suffered slightly.
The thing that i didn’t include in my sketchbook alongside these images was the
colour pallet, which I am going to include as it helps the viewer/potential
customer understand how you want the outfit to turn out.
Another important skill that we learnt today was how to combine three other peoples prints with my own and create a garment on the stand that looked appealing. I thought that our team managed to work really well together and I was surprised by how much I liked our outcome. We chose not make all of our patterns have the exact same colour scheme because we wanted a slight clash with our prints. Luckily our colour ways complimented each other quite well, we blended purple blue and a yellowy gold colour.
I think next time we do a task like this, we should be more adventurous with our proportions rather than keeping them all quite similar, which would make our garment look more outlandish and extravagant.
