hat design and photography

This was as part of an A-level project, i designed and created hats and photographed them to become part of a leaflet, through this project i found a love for the milliner: Stephen Jones.

Life drawing :)

I had never even attempted such things before i came to newcastle, and my first few attempts were pretty poor, but now i'm really into it! and feel i've actually done some good pieces!

3D design

I love the colours and contrasts in the photos of my shoe, i feel there is some really interesting shapes created.

My favorite pictures are on the black background as i feel it gives the pictures a sense of class and depth.

i also photographed the shoe on the foot, to show off its features on the body.

I photographed my shoe on both black and white to see which was more successful , i really like the way these pictures turned out.

I did some drawings pages in the style of some of the research i found, doing this helped me to think about the design of a shoe in a different way.

The shoe making process, i captured images as i took apart the old shoe and created my own.

The second part of my shoe making process

Creating a pece of 3D was a project i was really excited about, i knew i wanted to create a shoe, as its something i've always been interested in, and i loved it, i created a lot of samples before coming to a final idea, i enjoyed experimenting with wax and the glue gun etc, it introduced me to new processes.

Textiles

REsearch from the sketchbook, i loved this leather collar...its all about the leather this season and i wanted to keep my collars up with the fashions whilst also being inspired by victorian collars.

This is a page i created with biro line drawings on, i love the negative spaces that are created rather than the actual lines made.

Looking at victorian collars was vital as they are so iconic and all coming back into fashion, i love how exaggerated the collars are. Knowledge if this era is vital with wanting to proceed to costume design.

I love to google basic words related to what im doing to find other students work, i feel like its some of the best inspiration you can find.

these are 3 of my samples, i stayed with a colour scheme that represents me, and used photos such as the church from my village to build up these collars and then stitched into them.

I then photographed the collars on a model and edited my work in photoshop,  and presented them on card, i loved the outcomes.

This is one of my favorite, i really like photos when they are put into black and white :)

Here i changed the opacity of the images in ascending order, i feel this worked really well and i think i cropped a perfect section of the photograph, i also adjusted the brightness which i think brings out the colours amazingly.

This was my final collar, i really liked the way it came out, i used lace, stitch and paper and i feel it came out better than i imagined.

This project was about experimenting with stitch, into different materials, i chose to be inspired by a childhood toy that had a colar on and so i created a set of sample collars. i worked with stitch, paper and materials  then photocopying with different colours and contrasts to experiment with the way things looked.
