Fashion&Textiles - Development

Development/sketchbook

Why important 
Throught process 
Carrying design information
Progressing ideas
Somewhere to collect notes
Choose sketch book your comfortable with - relating what you want to do 
It's not a sketch book not a scrap book! Your own work not anybody else's work
Initial research happening all the way through 
Gather as much reference material as possible - extra research into another folder more marks 
For this stage the pages will be busy
Layer things I instead of sticking down on sep pages
Avoid mag look for original sources 
Primary - what you looked at first
Secondary source - what someone else did 
Don't leave gaps
Quick notes for me
Less writing much better
Isolate images that influence you
Start on double page
Be experimental 
How someone takes there ideas and develops it
Initial ideas should be rapid
Colours, patterns, Tht rel to the theme
Take photos continuously
The development need to flow with the final piece
Colour and fabrication 
Different methods
Photocopy onto alternative papers
Lift up fold up overlay have things to touch
Be selective
Decoration don't spend to much time on it
Identity of your work
Page interesting to look at
Push ideas forward on each page
Does it inspire me in the next page
Draw over the top of pictures
Back up work 
Put name on the edge 
Put project brief at front 
Get a spray adhesive blue tack at college
Keep s b clean 








The development of an idea I found very easy, I used my necklace to create a varity of different unquie garments including skirts, hats, bags, dresses etc I selected a particular section of the necklace to depict this. I experimented with all angles in finding different designs within it.
I felt that I produces good quality designs but should think about the quantity as well as the quality of my work. Perhaps in furture I will work more with colours as the pages looked abit dull as the only colour I used was silver/grey.
If I had more time I would redo the sewing machine sample as the stitching wasn't even, in future I need to practise more on the sewing machine so my samples will be more aesthetically pleasing.
