Black & White

Yesterday we finished off our sketchbooks and creations and Im really pleased with how it turned out although I am going to add some more research to my sketchbook. I worked in a different way to how I usually work, I usually plan my work out so I have a clear idea of what Im doing but for this project I just went straight into doing my structure which worked out but I do prefer planning. Here is a picture of my garment although it is rough ->

I really like the use of origami as I have never done it before but I think it adds a nice effect to my piece.

If I was to re-do this I would of probably used more paper as I like the definition although I do like the difference between the harshness of the paper and the softness of the fabric.

Today in our lesson with Jamie we were learning more about Illustrator which

was good, but I did a rough illustration of my black and white structure, shown on the right, using a template to get the body shape and then I simply used the pen tool to create the shape of my garment.

I never used to like Illustrator at college but I think Im getting to grips with it now so I can test my boundaries.
