So Friday's session at university was our Fashion Design Practice lesson. We were working on the Macs on Adobe InDesign to create a fashion magazine front cover. I've then got to use the shop research and reports I did earlier in the semester to do a page comparing prices that would appear inside the fashion magazine. I'm really enjoying this kind of work! I have Photoshop at home and so I'm pretty familiar with the program but InDesign is really new to me.It's really opened my eyes to the different areas in fashion and if I'm honest, the newer things like this are exciting me alot more than standard pattern cutting and manufacture. Many people close to me are great at art and I've always enjoyed drawing and painting, so I think the reason I'm enjoying these sorts of lessons is that it's bringing the more creative side of me out at the moment. I even enjoy writing, I've got really into this blog malarchy and I quite enjoyed writing the essays on fashion and it's history.
I've really opened my eyes to the possibilities of doing something other than sewing and pattern cutting. Perhaps I could be a future fashion illustrator? Or magazine columnist? Or even a trend researcher for a company?
Above is an image I did for a Visual Studies module last semester. I chose to look at gothic architecture and created 2 illustrations based on this. I drew the original figure with pen, scanned it in then using Photoshop, scanned in other images and fabrics for the clothes. The male image I created was similar to this.I plan to upload more photos of my work to show you soon.
muy bueno!
