Yet more Illustration!

This is my trainer from last weeks Illustration lesson with Jamie, I used the pen tool to create all the different shapes then layered them up bringing pieces to the front and back. I do like how it turned out but I never did any different colour ways.








In today's lesson as well as doing a PowerPoint presentation I also did a version of one of my favourite Illustrators work, Jason Brooks. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, (show on the left) all I did was use the pen tool and changed the stroke weight to make lines thicker or thinner and I'm pleased with the effects.

Y-3

This is my PowerPoint on a designer that inspires me and I chose Y-3 (Yohji Yamamoto) because I love his collections as they are sporty but really fashionable and smart due to the soft tailoring and fabric chooses. It's not the best Powerpoint in the world and I only put in different transitions just to prove that I could but I think they make things look cheap.

Melting Pot

Yesterday we got our new mini brief, called Melting Pot it's a five week project where we have to pick a culture to research about and design for!

I am quarter Hungarian so I have decided to look into their culture because I think it will be really interesting as I've never visited Hungary and our relatives rarely come over so it will be nice to learn about my heritage.

I'm not sure how I feel about this project yet but once I get into it I'm sure it will become a lot more interesting.

Illustrator

Last week in Illustrator I was playing about with the pen tool and I traced around an Adidas hoody, shown on the right:

I really like how it turned out, well except from the writing but I shall upload some different colour ways later on.

Construction

I've done a lot of construction before but I wasn't looking forward to our lesson on Thursday purely cause I had missed a lesson so was really behind, everyone has already cut out their bodice and sewn it up.
However I came in to the lesson and whilst everyone was getting on with the next steps I cut out my bodice, sewed it up, put the neck binding on and managed to get both my sleeves on.
I was really proud of myself because I had managed to get my head down and catch up and do more =]
I think having 2 years practice in construction really helped because it meant I could get on with it and I am really proud with how my bodice turned out.

That lesson showed me that the amount of work and effort you put in really shows in the outcome. If you have determination you can acheive anything.
