Under a Month ......

I have under a month till I'm back to the daily routine and all the work! Is it sad I'm looking forward to it? I'm really enjoying my time off but also feel the need to do something. I am really starting to get into this project and my sketchbook is starting to take shape and the ideas flowing. Yay. But Ive decided my blog has been neglected and so I'm attempting to get back into it. Wish me good luck.

Catastrophe

Some of my initial research, I did a lot of broad research to begin with was I was unsure what i wanted to. I looked at disasters, designers who had done relevant collections and artists. Once i had chosen my theme i was able to narrow my research i enjoyed looking at more unusual work and artists which otherwise I might never of heard of such Gerard Ritcher.

I have found this project quite difficult and it took me quite awhile to get into and I probably would not choose to do it again. However I am pleased with what i have produced. I wanted to challenge myself so i chose tougher fabrics and patterns which weren't going to be easy I am glad I did this as I feel I have learnt a lot from it that i will be able to take forward into my next brief.

9/11 Again ?

My chosen scenario was a bit different compared to the majority. It is the idea of what would happen if an attack similar to 9/11 happened again but simultaneously world wide wiping out all major cities and the majority of the population. I did a lot of research and these are some striking imagery I found and which inspired me and helped to create my designs. I really liked the shapes of the dust clouds and the steel frame work of the towers which was left over.
