Further Development

 For the final design I've decided to go for a sleeveless play suit. Here I've experimented with the placement of the embroidery. I've also experimented on another page with different fastenings, deciding whether to use all buttons, button and a zip or a zip. In the end I decided to use buttons and a zip to separate the bottom form the top.

The next image displays the final design as a flat as well as a close up of the design of the flowers for the embroidery that I will be using, which will be done by a machine for a better effect.

The denim I'm going for will be a dark navy blue, but doesn't need to be stretchy for the adjustment that will be placed at the back.

Design Development for final idea

My final design is a play suit.

Here I've experimented with adding sleeves, collars, bootcuts and darts. With the development I then moved on to designing an adjustment tot he back for flexibility, because it is made out of denim it may be hard to move around in. If I wanted to to make a design evolving sleeves than an adjust to the back would be need.

The adjustments I've designs are both elastic, one being obvious and the other being hidden underneath more denim, giving a cleaner look.
Either of the two would be useful to the garment.

Development of designs

I do apologies for the bad quality of the image.

This displays what I've managed to develop, with my mood boards I've taken the embroidery and used them as key detail in my designs. I've used the embroidery in different areas of the designs, around the pocket, on the bottom of the garment and around the waist.

I've also drew a close up on the areas where detail would be placed, both pencil and in colour. The embroidery shown is made up of flowers, I used pink carnations and heather ling. I also tried using pink swirls for the back ground but the ended up coming out like the cancer ribbon which isn't what I wanted. 

So when designing further for my final idea I would loose the pink swirl and just use scattered flowers instead.

Final pt 2

With this final, just like the other one i used my own drawing and used the same tool but this time i used the pen tool to outline her body, i also scanned my drawing into the computer. To make her body symmetrical i completed one side of her body, copied and paste the image drawn and reflected to the other side. 

Again i made this image slightly sketchy but still making her shape visible in the drawing.

This illustration came out well and goes well with what i had done with the first illustration. I did however draw another one that i was going to use but the out come didn't pair well with my other drawing, it was messy and quite child like so i decided against it.

I should be posting more or make time for posting, been jammed packed with work so hopefully i should be back to my one/ two posts per week. 

Glimpse of a line-up that I had done from the first project from Fashion Drawing and Communication.

This is a line-up I'm showing is from our first module, Fashion Drawing and communication.
The designs were based around a theme/storyline that we had to come up with and work around it. I decided to go with Modern Myth from macro trends on WGSN and I went down the root of Cosmic Couture.
 I chose these two because Modern Myth is based on mythology and scientific surrounds and beliefs, the fact that it is a mixture of religious and scientific views makes a story line interesting with the amount of stories that can come from them.

The storyline however...
I researched on some short stories and I came across Population 218 by Acacia. The story is based around a nuclear war that happened and the survivors live in a dome where the population is strictly 218! So, if a baby is born a member of the population must die. BUT!! Instead of using the tragic side of the story I thought I would base my ideas around the surroundings inside the dome and what it would be like not being able to enter the outside world.

Researching further with this storyline I looked into the Edens project with it's shape and the plant life on the inside to give me the idea of what it would be like if there was no green life on the outside of the the dome.
I then looked into the hexagon shape that appears on the dome, looking at architecture and bridges around Newcastle and into designers such as Gareth Pugh and DZHUS, looking into their collection that used a lot of laser cut and 3D uses.

I then went on to experiment with my own designs and illustrations by using water colour paints, photo copying fabrics and placing them on to my designs to help me capture what I would be looking at if I were to create the garments.

For this first module I really enjoyed it because drawing is one of my strongest points and being able to use my skills and ideas was good use to this project.

The other photo I am showing is one of the experimentations that I had done in my file to back up my ideas and designs, focusing on shapes and detail with the use of water colour.
