This was the last day to the end of our week of doing digital printing. As an overall experience, I really enjoyed this workshop, however I would have liked to have sampled with fabric rather than paper, although we apparently have that in a future workshop, so it isn't anything to worry about. Nonetheless, I think I have achieved some really successful prints over this past week and our project for today was to do a group collaboration garment on a mannequin using 2 of our prints each. I really enjoyed working with my group, although I think I had a bit more of an influence on the design idea itself. We also decided as a group to make the main focus colour blue as one of the girls prints was practically impossible or very difficult to change into a new colour. Despite this, it came out really well and had a natural aquatic feel to it. Plus, the arrangements of the paper prints was done very effectively and related to the project very well.
This development work really made me understand how important many fields and medias are with fashion, whether you are using the techniques or not, but it is always an exceptional skill to know and get the grasp of because it can save a lot of time and look more precise. Moreover, I really liked our garment structure we made today, although I would to classify ours as 2nd best because one in particular really raised the bar and had an element of Vivienne Westwood to it because their prints were a slyly tartan camo style with an elegant structure. In addition, I am looking extremely forward to doing knitwear as I have never done it before, plus the samples I have seen from the other group look amazing and complex, however easy they say it was to do. Thus, this will be what my blog will entail all of next week and I hope to create very interesting and unique swatches and samples.
