For Unit X I'm in engineering print for fashion. This is something I'm very interested in so glad I've got the opportunity to do this option choice. We've been put into teams and I'm with two fashion students Chloe and Elysha. We've put all initial ideas and interests forward and feel that we've made a good start and progress for what we want and hope to achieve within Unit X.
We all liked the idea of the circus at Belle Vue and have decided to look more into circus' and funfairs and what inspirational links and ideas we find interesting such as trapeze artists, fortune telling, circus freaks and carousels. We've also been considering what print techniques and processes we would like to do in the print room. As I did print in the last unit/project I feel like I can advise on what I think would suit different fabrics.
We all have a love for colour and feel this is going to work well when producing prints for the project. I feel because our outlook of the theme is turning into being quite childish. (in a good way). We think we can have fun with colour and experimenting with different contrasting fabrics and processes. I think the foiling technique in the print room will work well and add that element of 'fun' to our work.
On Friday we looked into creating a muse to base our design work around. We liked the idea of making the name of our muse real. From the Belle Vue archives we all said there was one name that really stood out for us and that was Madam Lola. We were also interested in making the muse weird and unusual. As we are research circus freaks we came up with the idea of 'Madam Lola' being a bearded lady. We then created quick drawings of different garments based on elements of our mood board.
For my personal progress I have started to write a plan for the upcoming week. I've found in the past that this has really helped with my organisation skills and time management.
