Photoshopping Designs

practicing photoshopping my designsand adding colour to them to ensure i can get them to look how i want them to. Mainly playing with how to show the sheer fabric well and getting the green colour right. i still could work on it. It'll be hard for people viewing this to see the difference between the sheer black garments and grey garments - should be better once I have a tracing figure underneath with skin colour.

- Need to find a good grey colour.

Developments

In these developments i was trying to create a clearer contrast between the draping and the structural parts of the garments. I feel in a lot of these that's it's a lot more clear than in my last developments - they were mainly drape and ruffles and now they look alot better and represent the battle between nature and machine alot better with more structured panel lines added in.  

Jewelry Samples

i really like how these samples have turned out. I like the green feathers and bird it's brings in nature into my designs a bit more. But i think I'm going to leave the birds and feathers only in the jewlry as i feel im moving away from my former concept a bit where i've mainly been focusing on plants so I'm not going to continue with the birds in my garments but i think they are an effective representation of nature in the jewlery. 

Finding 'look'

Need to find appropriate look of my consumer and target market, and practice fitting clothes on them, working on my illustrations.

I think this resembles my target market pretty well,  I think she shows the age my line is targeting at.

Further Print Development

At the last Critique the class could see the natural side of my prints with it looking really flowery and natural, and by using the bird to make it. But they couldn't really see the machine cyborg eye side of it, so I've decided to experiment a bit more with making it look more machine-like.

I then Tried putting it inside the eye to get more of a bionic cyborg eye look to it, it could be a cool also be a cool print to have on a t-shirt. 

                           

 I've tried to add some gold, I don't really like how it's turned out.

I then did the same thing with the new print and placed it on the eye, I could use this as an actual screen print. but it also helps it look more machine-like especially with the circles around it.





Finished Pattern 

Adding the new print into some concepts, I think i prefer the new print in smaller so you can see the full circles where as the last print i liked it big and more abstract where you can't really see fully what the print is. 

Refined Developments

Now im just refining all my designs, figuring out how to put them all together with the accesories and also adding in the print and grey to help break up the outfits.

I really like the first two on the left, I think they have enough gold to represent the machine side, and i like the panels shown with the cut out and the panels on the skirt and bodice underneath the sheer top. I think the drape of the sheer, ruffles and the green colour really represents the natural side.

I like the middle one on the left side with the skirt. I like the green leotard with the panels and the ruffles - i think it represents both with the panels and the tightness 'suit' look - like a machine suit or suit of armour.

overall i think i need to play around a lot more with the panels and geometric shapes, its definitely showing the natural side with the layering and draping but i think i need to define the line between natural and machine more and use more geometric shapes with the panels and maybe shoulder pads? - to emphasise shoulders and 

- maybe print shouldn't have a white background? - need to explore more

Developments

My developments with colour added to them. The ones with the bit highlighter above them, i'm pretty happy with, the ones without it I'm not and will have to refine more. 

I want to add another colour as the grey I've used to symbolise the sheer i actually quite like in some of the garments, and i also want to start to develop a print to add something them as well.

Print Development

Ive Started looking at prints to add to my designs, as i feel some of them are getting all the same with just having three colours. I've been looking at symbols to make prints out of, I've chosen the bird to represent nature (as seen above) and the bionic/cyborg eye to represent the machine world. I cut out the image of the bird and made the print shown outof it. I really like it as i think it captures both aspects of my concept as the circle shape takes on the machine eye feel and the green and softness of the wings of the bird rotated round gives it a nature flowery look.
