<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In week 6 class we also drew a fashion accessory. I based my technical sketch off a Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet. I own this wallet so I was able to view it from all angles and draw the details correctly.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For week 6 we were required to draw knitwear. We were taught how to create a cable-knit repeat and ribbing. I found this aspect challenging as its hard to make a pattern repeat seamlessly. I decided to draw a Stella McCartney cable-knit skirt rather than the typical jumper or cardigan, however I was still able to incorporate the ribbing detail in the waist and hem of the skirt. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My technical sketch is based off a blazer from Abercrombie & Fitch. Drawing the lapels and getting the right shape of the blazer was a bit tricky. I also experimented with adding a drop shadow which I think makes it come off the page more. Overall I feel that I've improved a lot with using the pen tool on Adobe Illustrator. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For week 4 we were taught how to draw shirt technical sketches and make a stripe and polka dot repeat. I made a basic black and white striped repeat and applied it to my shirt. I am pretty happy with the end result.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My dress technical sketch is of a Zimmermann dress. I thought it was interesting because of the panel lines and drape of the skirt. It has a concealed zip closure at the back so I didn't have to use the zipper brush.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The first technical sketch we were required to draw were a pair of shorts. I drew a pair of high waisted shorts from my favourite designer, Isabel Marant. I'll admit that it took me quite a few times of drawing shorts to achieve an end product that I was happy with. I learnt that reducing the stroke weight when drawing small details such as topstitching makes for a more realistic technical sketch. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This was my very first shell-inspired pattern. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In this pattern I continued the black and white palette but I used more interesting and better quality photographs of shells.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In this print I experimented with my micro photographs and some colour. I decided that my previous patterns were too plain. I selected a swatch from a heavily textured shell that I had photographed and filled the outline of my scallop shell with it. I think the contrast between the black and white and orange is nice.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Here I have formulated my final pattern. This is the first version of it where I have filled in all my shell motifs with the pattern swatch. I also added a pink-ish background which I think goes quite well with the colour of the shells. It took me awhile to create this pattern because every time I repeated it there would be track-marks where the pattern swatch did not match up completely.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Here's another variation of the above pattern. I have to decide which out of the two patterns I will hand in. At the moment I think I prefer the first version (with the enlarged shell), however I will seek others opinions before I make the final decision.</span></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16101690315091815783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202945388772936822.post-82652440831249076422012-04-27T00:03:00.001+10:002012-04-27T14:42:37.996+10:00Shell motif<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today I found a large amount of shells that I have collected over the years, some of which were from Gordon's Bay, an aquatic reserve five minutes away from my house. Gordon's Bay is also one of Sydney's most popular diving sites.</span><div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As mentioned in my previous post regarding the prints of Florence Broadhurst I'm considering making the print for my assignment in black and white. In week 5 we learnt how to turn a black and white photograph into a stencil using Photoshop. I'm thinking about adopting this technique to create a motif that has a stencil look to it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I experimented with this technique using a <a href="http://www.petworldshop.com/pictures/red-starfish-aquarium-ornament.jpg">starfish</a> image. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZpgfT_GGSP-XmsrX1K0aU1iOuLfIiPu0sblgpVbMUcpIEjliTk2YL5bJeKN6pfaewSooVs48-bLYwNOTPf3ez8-TxwuQjzdICX_ScTE92UkMYCdBf2ljVI2qMjNVarvS5pxqHO_nGReV0/s1600/Starfish-stencil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="377" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZpgfT_GGSP-XmsrX1K0aU1iOuLfIiPu0sblgpVbMUcpIEjliTk2YL5bJeKN6pfaewSooVs48-bLYwNOTPf3ez8-TxwuQjzdICX_ScTE92UkMYCdBf2ljVI2qMjNVarvS5pxqHO_nGReV0/s400/Starfish-stencil.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In Photoshop I was able to create the stencil effect by setting the file on grayscale mode and adjusting the input levels to remove the grey. I pulled all the input sliders into the centre until the only colours remaining were black and white. An alternative tool which I also tested out and achieves the same effect is the threshold tool. Like the levels tool, the threshold tool makes all the pixels in the image to be either black or white. I adjusted the threshold slider so that I could get as much white detail.</span></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16101690315091815783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202945388772936822.post-13802676937162145922012-04-21T14:57:00.000+10:002012-04-21T14:57:03.312+10:00Research: Florence Broadhurst prints<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Florence Broadhurst was an Australian designer who owned a successful wallpaper and textile company based upon her own designs. Florence had a signature style of black and white or brightly coloured geometric and nature-inspired prints. I love her black and white prints because they are very striking and versatile. The following images have been taken from <a href="http://www.signatureprints.com.au/">Signature Prints</a>.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After seeing these I am inspired to produce the print repeat for my assignment in a black and white colour scheme. The reason for this is because Florence's designs demonstrate the way in which a black and white palette can make for highly effective prints. Black and white reflect neutrality and can create a very minimalist and contemporary feel. </span></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16101690315091815783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202945388772936822.post-86986716875688968282012-04-20T17:19:00.005+10:002012-04-20T17:25:25.317+10:00Research: floral<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've started to conduct some research into floral prints as I am considering theming the repeat print for my assignment on plant life. The repeat I create is supposed to reflect an aspect of my neighbourhood. I could gain inspiration from the garden of my house, specifically the flowers in it (roses, camellias, frangipanis and magnolias). Alternatively, the suburb in which I live is very much a beach suburb as it's beach is one of the most popular in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. In this case, I could look at its sea life, for example I could use shells or coral as motifs in my print. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Today I experimented with creating a half-drop repeat pattern in a camellia print. I made two variations of the camellia motif as I didn't want my pattern to repeat the exact same motif. I did this through using the offset tool and then filling the centre of my image with the second camellia. The only variation between the two flowers is that the flowers and leaves are in different directions. I also played around with filters in order to give my camellia a grainy effect. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In class we learnt about repeats and how to create them in Photoshop. A repeat is a design or image that can be copied endlessly. Below are the pattern repeats that I made:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><u>Stripe repeat</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This was the first pattern I ever made by creating four stripes and using the rectangular marquee tool to select an area to define as a pattern. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><u>Block repeat</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This repeat is very easy and involves a motif being snapped to a grid. I had to use the offset tool to divide the motif into 4 sections.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><u>Half drop repeat</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is a relatively simple version of the half drop repeat in which a single motif is used. I created this repeat by using the offset tool, altering the image and canvas sizes and defining the pattern. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For homework this week I had to complete an <a href="http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tutorials-effects/photoshop-watercolor-effect/">online tutorial</a> which required me to put to use all the photoshop skills I have acquired so far. This particular tutorial demonstrates how a watercolour effect can be simulated on photoshop. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The watercolour-type brushes that I used throughout the tutorial were downloaded from <a href="http://www.brusheezy.com/">Brusheezy</a>.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Below is the end result:</span><br />

<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Challenges:</span></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Overall I found the tutorial relatively simple and easy to follow, however there were a few problems that I stumbled upon. Firstly, using the polygonal lasso tool to remove the background from the image of the girl was tricky because it only lets you make straight edge selections (it was difficult to trace around the curved edges of the head). Secondly, I initially wasn't sure how to rotate and resize a single layer (the watercolour brush strokes), however I located some straightforward <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS522E4DAD-E94D-41ab-BDD1-8C76E9F1DC8Da.html">instructions</a> on the internet. Similarly, when the tutorial instructed me to create a gradient using red, yellow, green and blue I was stuck as it does not provide steps on how to do this. Once again, I found the solution to this problem on a <a href="http://photoshop911.typepad.com/help/2004/03/custom_gradient.html">website</a>. </span></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16101690315091815783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202945388772936822.post-10353468402488144212012-03-20T11:01:00.001+11:002012-04-27T11:55:25.680+10:00Photo montage<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For homework we were required to create our own photo montage. A photo montage is a collection of pictures that are put together to create a new image. In class we experimented with different selection tools in photoshop such as the marquee tools, lasso tools, magic wand and the masking tool. My photo montage consists of scanned images of; Benefit bronzer compact, shell-inspired purse, I.T fashion catalogue and shells. For the background I scanned in the fabric from my Zimmermann dress.</span></div>

<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Photoshop's save for web & devices feature</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Adobe Photoshop's 'Save for web & devices' feature allows one to optimise their photos for websites without affecting how an image looks. Slowness in the loading of websites are generally caused by images. To save an image through this feature you use File>Save for Web & Devices. Upon clicking this an options panel appears with a preview window which allows you to resize the image, select image type and alter the resolution. If you were uploading the image onto a blog I would recommend setting it as a JPEG. </span></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16101690315091815783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202945388772936822.post-80193705982548159912012-03-04T15:57:00.000+11:002012-03-04T19:28:02.415+11:00Homework task #1<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">According to Kim Wilson, writer of the article "Power to the people" blogs have become prominent in that they can influence the future direction of a designer and allow instant communication between designers and their customers. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Melbourne based blogger Jamie Wdziekonski uses his blog to record fashion events and street scenes. The blog primarily employs black and white images to reflect Jamie's interest in fashion, music, film and art. He has developed a style of photography that allows him to capture 'unposed' moments. Other than an overview of Jamie's background, the blog is underlined by imagery as limited text is used.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I find 'ohjamie' interesting because of its ability to visually demonstrate what people are choosing to wear on a daily basis. The way in which Jamie captures non-mainstream fashion that have a dark and grungy feel, is also intriguing.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Blogger/model Rumi Neely from 'Fashiontoast' employs her blog as a means of showcasing her own personal style which has later been imitated. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Rumi's blog is shot on the streets of various locations such as Los Angeles and New York and demonstrate her love of chunky high heels. Currently 'Fashiontoast' has been reporting on the way in which the quirky (but expensive) Italian label Marni has collaborated with H&M to do a collection. This provides an opportunity for everyone to purchase some 'Marni magic'. I like this blog because of its colourful imagery which is set in different outdoor locations. Also, I love how reflectional 'Fashiontoast' is of Rumi's style of chunky heels, short shorts and knitted jumpers.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hanneli Mustaparta's blog has a polished, sophisticated feel to it, in contrast to 'ohjamie' which has a more grungy vibe. Quick descriptive comments accompany each series of images. As Hanneli is highly regarded as an international model, photographer and blogger, her blog attracts many followers who are fascinated and inspired by her street style, and consider her blog a reliable go-to for the latest trends in fashion. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What draws me to her blog is the clarity and crispness of the photography. I also like 'Hanneli' as it provides a unique insight into the fashion industry outside of Australia.</span></div>
