I was having
a look through an old copy of View magazine from Spring 2009, Issue 85 and came
across some forecasts for scarves that season. I like the contrast of the
delicate looking scarves being shot against an urban/city backdrop, (a theme I
have not really explored which I could work on next term) Even though they were from a couple of years
ago they were still quite inspiring and pretty to look at. Though also it’s funny just how often fashion
goes around and comes around and certain styles and themes are recycled through
the seasons. I noticed how similar the
abstract colours and the colourful florals looked similar to designers I have
looked at such as Echo designs and Me and Kashmiere.
It has made
me think about my Final Major Project for next term and possibly carrying on
with designing scarves but with a different theme and ideas. Also ideas on how I could improve from the
final scarf I produced and generate further patterns and designs. I think it
would be a good idea to pursue another scarf brief in order to better my
printing skills and take more risks with pattern designing. Another idea to take on board is the size and
to probably go bigger with the fabric. Most importantly I think I should also
produce a few designs on Photoshop or Illustrator as I did not do this with my
Negotiated Brief. This would be very helpful in thinking about how to place
certain images or colours or sizes before producing final designs. I’d like to
be able to create symmetrical patterns on the computer as I think a mirrored effect
would be quite stunning. My computer
skills also need a bit of improvement too so this would help me produce better
computer designs!
