CAD

- as part of our on going CAD brief our final task was to create a basic women's wear block in Adobe Illustrators. I created the block to my own body measurements making it very helpful if i ever needed to make a dress to my size. This exercise was very time consuming but worth it as it is my size, however when comparing my pattern to the tutorials average size 10 pattern I found that areas of mine pattern were completely different to the tutorials, for example a few of my darts were a lot bigger than the average size 10 pattern. 

- My previous brief was biased on sustainability and the surrounding of it. Which involved creating a capsual collection in the style of the fashion brand 'Noir'. My current brief was to create a concept board and 4 illustration boards linked to the previous sustainable brief

-CONCEPT BOARD - monochrome trend

-DESIGN DEVELOPMENTS

-ILLUSTRATIONS

These two illustrations where created in the same style as each other, I aimed at the ready to wear target market as I used the garments from the Nior capsual collection design boards to illustrate. I also Incorporated the New York skyline as I was inspired by this while designing the design boards.
I feel my illustrations fit well with the ready to wear target market as they portray a very delicate touch with much detail on a small scale. I also decided to keep my illustrations black and white as this linked well with my concept board involving the monochrome trend.

-SECOND ILLUSTRATIONS

 for my second set of illustration boards I choose to aim at the High street target audience as I used simple medias such a felt pen in sharp motions. I also decided to involve the sky line in the illustrations as well, this would link all 4 illustrations up together. I feel these illustration could be improved their for i am going to add close up illustration of the garments as well.

New Brief New Task

-Last week we were given another brief after finishing out sustainable manufacturing brief, however the new brief does link to the previous briefs as the aim is to complete 4 illustration baords of the capsule collection we created in the first brief. We also have to research into historical and contemporary fashion illustrations and recreate some of their illustration.This is the task I am currently on and I have started to recreate a couple of Anna Kiper and Valentina Porter's illustrations.
