Todays work, Dress edits of progression on my current project!  Just in the finish stages for the fashion show and exhibition next week. Changed hues and adapted images with layering and filters.

Live project vol 2

Adaptations of work from today, finally nearing the end of my project. Printed fabric from my current dress, using double exposure to create unique and innovative alterations to diverse colour and texture, also images from my process are intwined.

Tomb of kings

During my trip to Cyprus,  I stumbled on an add for the tomb of kings! An excavated tombs site for the rich, some of stones have been dated back to about  4 BC. Over time the rocks have created different shapes and textures. However the tombs have never actually had any kings in them but have had pathotic aristocrats dating back to 3 AD, and the site was pretty cool! Here are some edits using double exposure tool, and different contrasts and hue exaggerations.

Some adaptations of photos I have taken from around the pool in a villa in Cyprus. By using contrast, double exposure and blend, I can create texture and pattern to devolp ideas to later adapt on to cad to recreate my edited photos that I will transfer using dyes and prints.

Live project edits

Using fabric and paper samples and a blend of secondary research of african and south american prints on pintrest I have  intwined the images together to exaggerate and impose my own innovative ideas to create colour and print samples to help elaborate my work further a push it into future devolpmental stages. Main tools used here are double exposure, blend, contrast,  saturation and vibrance.

On the go editing is one of my favourite things to do now!  From sketch book pages to samples, recently for my live project I have loosely turned my pages into illustration boards/mood boards, being able to elevate colour, texture and images. These boards are based around African and south american culture and textiles,  taking images from pintrest and vogeu. By using colour faded shapes and double exposure I can add extra detail to my images to create a more in depth aesthetic.  how ever the quality isn't great but allows me to identify what aspects of my work need focus.

Mood board with adjusted hue and saturation 

Recently we have been working with the silk mill to create garments for their 200th anniversary! we each had to design 3 outfits and a show stopper and then they would pick the ones that fit the brief the most. After we got put into groups and and we had to create a colour scheme and theme to produce the three outfits, Me, Liz and Sam choose pink, blue and orange.. with a few other tones thrown in and a tribal theme (African and south American mix). Since my specialities is print i decided to get inspired by culture and art, contemporary and traditional, and come up with some wacky prints that really capture the colours of Africa and south America. We are still currently in the process of making these dress, I hope it all goes to plan...

I have been experimenting with photo shop and layering illustrations. this was actually only by accident since the scanner wasn't big enough to fit the whole image on, i had to do it in sections. which then when put on to the canvas made an exaggerated shadow effect, allowing me to manipulate a contort her frame. I later adjusted the hue and colour balance, whilst giving a vibrant aesthetic, and then later on applying a frame!
