So now I've broken up from university for Summer; but not without any work to do!Our brief for the Summer is tailored jackets. I've basically got to produce a sketchbook, 40 designs and a moodboard or two. I'm actually really excited about this and got stuck into my sketchbook straight away.
Now I've done many sketchbooks through school and college but the last one I did was really disappointing and quite boring so I'm determined to create the best sketchbook for myself to date! It's going very well so far - I'm thinking out the box and bought a book from a charity shop to work over. Each page is like a collage and it's turning out to be really exciting and fun to do aswell as read afterwards. I plan to upload some scanned pages of my sketchbook as I go to keep you updated.
As part of this project I'm planning some trips to local places to get a broader range of research. I'm going to go to the Derby Museum and Art Gallery as I want some of my inspirations to come from victorian paintings and floral decorations. I also want to go to the Pickfords House Museum to take photos and sketches of old costumes for inspiration of styles and silhouettes. I also need to take many trips to the libraries around for books on aaaany information I need.Looks like I'm going to be a busy bee! I promise to keep this updated, it's my summer resolution :).
