25.10.12 TUTORIAL NOTES

Due to increasing panic about my dissertation, work on research and development has taken a back seat this week. On monday I did a few quick drawings and played with layering on photoshop. I took these to my tutorial to try and come up with some new ideas.

TUTORIAL NOTES
From the garment research exercise, which I did to ensure that I had up to date research on what was in stores at the moment. This will help when planning collections to ensure that I am creating designs that will be on trend and desirable.  I saw a reoccuring theme of transforming a pattern to look like another. This idea I think fits well with my concept of trickery and disguise. From this I felt inspired to look at how this could be done through my own work which I have been repeating and layering drawings I did of "bruised lips." This made me think why not do this with my own photography of the lips and try to create my own lace from it. The drawings of the lips do not provide enough depth but they provided the platform to get to the idea of lace. I think this could be an area to really develop into because it is recreating something well known to many people but by turning it on it's head.

This has moved my work on by allowing me to think further how my pattern design will fit within the fashion and textile industry. My next step is to try and take in as much information on art and design (be like a sponge!) when I say this I mean I want to ensure that I know exactly what is going on in the industry and how my work would fit within it.
