Midterm Project

-
Two posts in one day. Look at me!! Just kidding but for my midterm for my Fashion Illustration class, I had to develop a small fashion collection based on a trend we were assigned to. After receiving the trend we could research images online and in magazines, gather fabric swatches, and do free sketches. I created 3 outfits on fashion figures using colored pencils and markers. My designs reflected my mood board.

The theme I was assigned

Moodboard
I choose to go with a futuristic theme based of the colors I was assigned. The 90's cartoon The Jetsons were a reference point for my designs. 

The final sketches

In the end I was very happy with my capsule collection. The colors are complementary to the theme and my models skin color. Even though blue was not apart of the original theme, I decided to use it as an accent color so that it would not be so monochromatic with all the yellow and brown shades.

For my CAD class final, I had to create a magazine using all of my work from the semester. Although it scared me at first, I really enjoyed this assignment. I always enjoyed graphic design, but unfortunately I do not get to do it as often as I would like. This assignment was mainly working on layouts using Adobe Photoshop so it gave me a lot time to work on improving my editing skills. So here it is.

Advanced Construction Study

When I got back to Albright College, I decided to make the first part of my Gilman follow up service project an independent study course. This way I would get credit for it on my transcript as an elective. My professor, Paula Trimpey was my mentor for this Advanced Construction class. I proposed three looks, five garments in total which can be seen in the sketches. I created the patterns for all five garments using draping and drafting methods that I learned in my Patternmaking/Draping class that I took last fall. I asked Professor Trimpey for help whenever needed. All the fabric for the final looks was purchased during my study abroad to Cape Coast, Ghana. The notions, like zippers and thread, were purchased in Maryland. I decided that I would use the traditional African prints and make them into modern styles that can be work together or separately for a more casual look. The fashion show take place in December so I plan on entering all three looks for consideration. I enjoyed b...
