Locating Unit

Based on what was said in the previous tutorial and after thinking about it carefully I decided to challenge myself and create four different collections. Using the same inspirational starting point and developing four collections suitable for four different areas.  My intended areas for my designs are:
·         Upholstery fabric- working with monochromatic geometric repeat patters
·         Fashion fabric – colourful repeats with occasional twists
·         Commissions and Wall pieces – large one off designs
·      Interior lighting accessories- playing with the idea of light and transparencies.

Now knowing what I wanted to do and having done some research I started making designs for each of my areas. I tried to ensure that each design was different, yet at the same time withholding a theme that ran through-out. I also tried to make some of the collections overlap and link, demonstrating the versatility of some of the designs. My intention behind having four different outcome areas is to show that no matter the initial inspiration point, you can change and tailor things to suit where needed. With the intention of this unit being for us to develop an understanding about getting our work out there I realised that if you want to get your work out into the real world you need to learn versatility.

These are some of the designs I create for my fashion outcomes. For the fashion designs I decided to use more of the softer photographs, I feel they seemed more suitable and worked better to create fashion fabrics. I also injected colour into my designs, making them more suitable for upcoming trends, an aspect which is key for consideration when designing fabrics for a fashion outcome.
