3 Words was one of my favourite projects so far, only for the research section though. With this project, I've realised that too much research isn't good as a designer; only because i got carried away doing too much research and less development towards my final piece. The three words i chose from the list were; Grotesque, Bleed and Nick Knight.
Mood-board
The moment i got a mannequin and three different types of fabrication, i was impressed by what i done and the thought of what i could of done with more timing.
I started off with less extravagant work and then moved onto structure. I was pleased with the outcome, however if i had more time I'm sure i would of developed this onto an actual garment or a sample calico.
The thought of my chosen three words was always on my mind as i was working so i didn't step out of my theme. As seen on the images, moving on from gathering onto actually ripping the fabric was mainly the idea of bleeding and Grotesque.
Fabric Manipulation on the mannequin;
Moving on from fabric manipulation, i started looking into some gothic architecture that i thought was relevant to one of words; Grotesque. Which really inspired me to develop that idea forward to create some samples and observe the patterns on the buildings.
Mainly this section in my sketchbook was just black and white, where i thought i could bring in some of my personality into my work so it was much more personal.
Here are some examples of my sketchbook;
Moving forward from the same development, there was this one image i loved a lot which was sort of an interior architecture piece; i thought to develop it further more...
So i ask found this image from a book that reminded me of the word bleed, due to the colour tones on it which was blending in, like ombre. So using both images i made a heat press sample of green and blue fabric paint and cut up some foil in silver to heat press with it.
Furthermore, i then photocopied my hair on the printer four times in different positions to select my favourite and printed that one out in acetate paper. Although this was a great idea for me, i thought to develop that idea furthermore if i had time to engage with my work and refine my development. I was going to buy plastic wig and cut out the hair from it and heat press with it.
As a Final piece, i created a collection that was developed from another heat press sample, which didn't turn out great. The only reason i couldn't prepare it to a higher standard was due to the lack of time i had left and how i wasted it with creating more ideas rather than sticking to one and developing that.
