Textiles Colour Project

I chose the colour red starting my research with what red means to some cultures. China interested me the most and I wished to develop some designs based on Chinese New Year. I wanted to do a sculptural based garment therefore I looked at Alexander McQueen and Hussien Chalayan as infulences. I really liked the idea of creating a range of different sized fans out of fabric, pleating and spraying them with starch to hold the fan structure in place.

                                   



Sculptural

An A2 project which I really enjoyed! Influenced from designers such as Alexander Mcqueen.

I concentrated on knitting and smocking to construct my final piece.

I began by looking at movement of the body and how fabric creates different shapes and textures when worn.

Final Outcome

Alphabet Graphics Project

We were told to create our own style of lettering. I really wanted to do something with sentcils and photographing them with an image visable through the letter. I cut out each letter of the alphabet along with a full stop and a comma using black card. I wanted the letters to be colourful and sweets was what came to mind, so I researched all different types of sweets and found a sweet beginning with each letter of the alphabet. Unfortunatly there aren't any for the letters, Q, U, X and Z. I photographed my original sentcils with the background as wood.
