The Strip project

The final project that we done this year was the strip project...the aim of this project was to find a theme  which is a source of strips and take inspiration from this in samples..
My theme was Strips in Nature which was later reduced to strips in fish and then finally jellyfish

This is an example of my final mood board to show what direction the project is going and also examples of my colour stories



Easter Project




For our Easter project we were asked to explore and take inspiration from our home or home enviroment....the first thing I thought of was the decayed old house near were I live....












After looking at decayed houses I began to just look and do observational drawings around my own house to see if I could find any interesting shapes and textures for my samples










 

After doing all my research I found my velvet couch in my living room the most interesting with it's triangular and button details. From this i decided to do my samples in red velvet.

 While experimenting with this fabric i done a few samples but realised that I found draping it on the maniquin a lot more interesting.







Here are a few examples of the samles I done











After doing a lot of experimentation I came up with my final design for my ranking project and an illustration to match




 
After doing my research and samples and identifying the points of interest I started working on the mannequin in order to start developing ideas for my final design
