With my design development last week I felt I was playing too
safe, too practical with my ideas. In total contrast, not playing safe is exactly
how I wanted to attack my week designing, by the layering of patterns, fabric
choices and volume of shape.
Similarly as a group we were decided to stretch ourselves
more, to push the boundaries of comfort zones to the limit by fully exhausting
an idea, exploring it to its fullest. Expanding on how one design development
could be used in different ways. Pulling in the initial details of the karate
suit we first had with the wrap around detail of the jacket, belt, cross-over
detail, wrap style of the bandages, fabric quantity and over sized look. Personally
I explored the ideas and methods of wrapping bandages, placing them in
different ways and areas of the body.
I found that this process was helpful to
me in different ways. It showed me how placement of detail may not suit one
area of the body but maybe ideally suited to other areas. Working to my strengths
of my specialist area I made various pieces of knit which have now been printed
on by other team member. In my opinion this was highly successful, we worked
really well together to produce a collaborative piece.
Subsequently I plan to produce a large range of design
developments in preparation for next week’s tutorial. This will ensure I have choice as to which
ones I would like to take forward to explore further in colour choice and place
of detail.
