Developing & Digital Finals

With only a week to go till deadline i really needed to make some decisions and choose which designs i want to have as my final collection.As i have missed 2 weeks of the project i have found it difficult to catch up but i think now i am starting to see the end result.Here is a photographs of my final digital out outcomes from these i can select and reject which designs are going to be finals, the rest i will experiment and enhance in the print room, this will widen my development skills and hopefully get me more prepared for final major project.

                                                                Final digital outcomes :
From these i will select and mount the best A2 designs , the others i will work into or just leave as developed samples.

                                       Sketchbook development : Kodatraces & Digital process
           Showing step by step stages to my end results . Annotation is still needed to be written.

Devore Sampling : Experimenting with over printing and one pull through screens

I really liked the one pull through of this Devore sample, as the pattern is so busy it keeps the design interesting .As my collection theme is ' Jumbled ' i am hoping to combine various fabrics and techniques to make a interesting finished collection.Mixture of tonal colours reflecting a autumn colour pallet.

To do ..

Over the weekend i have sorted all my development sketchbook into a formal order from this i can get into the print room and know exactly what i need to do to each piece of fabric as all last week i was so unsure of which techniques to use.All i need to do is keep to my to do list to tie up all the loose ends and hopefully i can finish my project happy.

Minor project - Digtial Development

As i was on work experience , i missed the first stages of development for my project , even though i planned to do a lot of college work while on work experience i really didn't have much time and didn't really feel motivated to do .Over the weekend i did try and develop some photoshop designs.I scanned all my visual work previous of work experience and i began to develop some ideas on photoshop initially i did not like any of my first designs but once i got into it, i started to create designs which could maybe be created into a  potential collect of work , it was also better going back to college with something rather than nothing.When i came back to college i created more designs which i thought looked more relative to my theme.So i began to develop them more printing copies as i went to see how the colours looked in paper.I then sent my designs to get digitally printed onto a light silk twill fabric . I sent 30 samples which varied in colour ways and size.Once i printed these samples off i could then pic which were most successful and proceed to get my prints printed samples size about A4 A3.

Heres some photographs off my digital print samples that i have created,packing the fabric up so it is ready to be steamed & hung to dry.

I am quiet pleased with some of my prints so from these samples so i can now  pick which designs i want to use for my final A2 collection.I will also decide which designs i can enhance further  using screen printing techniques when appropriate.
