DESIGN Experimentation + Initial Idea 2

 Initial experimentation leads towards playing around with layering in digital illustrations, hand rendered illustrations, type and photography 

A few of these work eg. interesting checker with face stars (simple texture and digital layering), the pill face with text and the repeated hand made phone illustration on a noise texture

Keeping the simplicity within the different pieces ie. only a few forms used within each piece is a better direction

These are successful in pointing out which of these forms work best together 








= what are the messages within these pieces?
= what do i want to communicate?
= what is the style and ideas behind the clothing?
= it's evident that I want to pursue a direction that utilises paint and ink illustrations, but what is it that should be painted? Once working this out it will be easier to produce more of these and play around with them more 
= it's important that it feels authentic to me and isn't something that has been done before 
= I recognise that the fine art direction I am drawn towards feels similar to Grayson Perry, would spending more time researching artists similar to these be helpful to developing my style or would it encourage me to copy it subconsciously? 
= Practically it would probably help to see how he creates his work and if there is a process behind it that I can use to help me with my process

themes 

- sex
- people
- feelings 
- what is fashion??

- making work authentic to me means going in one direction
- so what are my initial ideas if these are not aesthetics?
- is it all design development?
qs to ask tutors 

- following illustrations on paper perhaps the next step is painting straight onto clothing 
- need to buy jeans and tops from charity shops to paint onto to customise

 To Complete Website: > Name Love.jpeg created into artwork for starting page  > Lydia Article  > Joely Article  LYDIA + JOELY COLLAGE PIECES FOR ARTICLES  So - During lockdown 0.1, I found myself happily single and most definitely enjoying a little bit of me time… I was adamant that nobody was going to distract me from this intense period of isolation. One day I decided to go on a walk round the park (by myself of course). All of a sudden I find myself bumping into an old family friend’s son. This is someone who I have fancied since I was a kid, and admired from a far… We got chatting and ended up having a socially distance convo for about half an hour. FYI - I knew this person had a GF… When I got home and checked my phone, he had slid into my DMs and we started texting. One thing lead to another - he ended up confessing he’s been in love with me for years, he split up with his girlfriend the next day and we also got a private apartment in town where ...

Identity EVALUATION

Alike to GAIA EXRTH, it was disappointing not being able to complete the brief within the timescale set out. I recognise that I like working a lot on passion projects and pushing them further and further, to the point that perhaps the goals I set are unrealistic or I spend too long on one level/area of the project. In this case this was a research brief and I set out to spend a lot of time doing research and testing ideas. I found this a more difficult brief to do within the covid landscape and felt less inspired, as I wanted to go out into the world and look at things, ask people, visit places and so on. This meant this project took a back seat and by the end of the year revisiting it so late on meant there was no time to fulfil the visions I had for the project. It's exciting however to have so many projects I'm interested in to be continuing after uni as it means I can keep the momentum up of designing and producing more ideas and more work. The overall concept of this inter...

  LAYOUTS and UX I've noticed design studios use for their sites: 1. Simple white layout or black and white layout, sans-serif bold text, no specific logo or style present, scroll down box images of each project 2. Introductory logo used as image window or general logo, interaction leads into actual site  3. More interesting layout utilises UX more and guides the user through the different areas with seamless arrows  4. Either all the outputs are seen together collectively small, or they are large, independent, you have to scroll/click through to get to different briefs  STUDIOS that produce work I'm interested in: YES — Featured - Mostly do site designs and UX which is something I have only touched on - But their aesthetic and direction is really similar to where I would picture myself going, feels very artistic, has touches of fine art there rather than other studios which feel extremely one dimensional graphic design, super commercial branding  - Work with lo...
