Lunar Line up initial drawings

These are the initial drawings i did for the line up for my lunar collection im currently marketing for my new project.

I prefer the top set of designs to the bottom, but mixed in I think they'd work well together.

Location Decision

After a ridiculous amount of fannying around trying to decide on a location for my fashion event I finally decided to host my event at Potters Field Park.

I decided that rather than try and find a suitable building to house my event i will be constructing the building myself, to resemble the house of the future that was the starting point and inspiration for my collection.

This is a more difficult way to go about doing my event but i felt it was the only option to be satisfied with the building to house my collection. I specifically chose potters field as it is pretty much central london and has quite an eclectic mix of buildings in the background. One side you have London Bridge and on the other there is the design museum.

They'll be more ideas on the building and floor plan of my event in the coming posts. I was thinking of keeping the exterior quite retro whereas the interior could be a bit more modern.

JC De Castelbajac

I think this man has actually tapped into my brain.

He seems to produce everything I love about fashion into everything he makes... Its ridiculously colourful, very jazzy and so fun.

I feel a new obsession forming

I REALLY WANT THE CLOWN OUTFIT

Market for my collection

Hopefully from this picture you can get a jist of who i'm aiming my collection and my product at, I did find it quite difficult to be specific about who my target market were. I'm sort of aiming for people that need something different and, i hate using this word, "edgy" to wear on a night out, probably to an "edgy" nightclub with their "edgy" friends.
Urrrgh I hate edgy.
But thats basically what I'm aiming for. Something good did come out of all this edginess though I discovered an amazing designer J.C De Castelbajac. I'm pretty much in love with him... prepare for a post bumming him to follow.

Video Workshop

This is the video I made during the video making workshop, considering i felt awful this day and spent most of the tutorial sleeping i feel that this video is pretty successful
I'm looking forward to making my own video for the final presentation though im not too sure yet what i can film myself.

To be quite honest, I need to sort my life out

I've started feeling like I'm caring less and less about my work recently, and to be fair this needs to change quite swiftly before i end up completely flunking this whole year.

I 've had quite alot of things go on in my home life recently that I think have really gotten to me, which is understandable. I'm not going to mention what they are but they are pretty big. I'm not a person who shows there emotions atall really and instead of having a good cry about it I seem to have chanelled it all into getting into ridiculous states and staying up for 24hours straight partying.

As much fun as this all is its starting to have an impact on my health, its taken a couple of friends pointing out that they were really quite worried for me to see that my lifestyle at the moment needs to change.

So goodbye going out atleast twice a week, getting completely wrecked and staying up till 9am the next day.. and hello to chanelling all of this enthusiasm and excitement into my work.

Lets see how long it'll last...

Monsanto House of the future

This is a video of my original inspiration for my collection and the event and marketing that goes along with it.
This video really interests me its really weird to thing that not so long ago even pressing buttons to dial a telephone was something that was considered futuristic technology.
I may use some of this footage for my final video as it would be a bit difficult to film anything relevant to my concept myself.

New Project

I was so optimistic at the begining of this project, it was something a bit different we got to make up n event and everything behing it for a collection.
But as per my enthusiasm for this project has all but dissapered. I like the idea of the project dont get me wrong, i just feel like every sheet im producing looks absolutely awful. I think maybe its because you can't really include that many pictures on the sheets and i'm used to working towards producing a garment, its definately an unknown territory way of working, for me anyway.
I did however try to work towards some of my final decision sheets on photoshop yesterday, even though i clearly haven't made all of my decisions yet they do look alot better than what i've been producing so far, and considering they account for a larger chunk of the mark than the reserch sheets then maybe i won't have completely messed up this project.

On another things are looking up note, I got my marks back for the last project a couple of weeks ago and I got 65%.
Definately an improvement on my last mark, nice and safe inside the 2:1 bubble again...

some illustrator things

Here are a few of my more successful illustrator experiments from the digital realisation techniques project, I liked using illustrator in this project as it gave more of a freedom in the drawing aspect of the program when compared to photoshop.

It does however take a fairly long time to produce something professional looking.
