Our challenge for the day was to photograph clothing, that fit into our colour scheme, in an interesting way. I began to think about the different ways I could look at my items, and the contrasting compositions I could create.
I took some photos displaying my chosen items in different ways in normal, natural lighting, however they looked quite dull. I therefore began adjusting the contrast, saturation and sharpness to make the photos more eye catching and vibrant.
after I had made the adjustments to the photos I felt that they had more expression and vibrancy as the colours were much brighter.
To start off our textile and fashion module, we were asked to create weaves from paper, fabric, and thread, while keeping with our colour scheme.
The weaves were somewhat difficult to make at the beginning but once I had finished a couple I found I really liked the way the looked at the end, this motivated me to create more and see what the colours would look like in different styles of weaving.
I also used some fabric to make weaves, this proved much more difficult as the fabric isn’t as stiff Or easy to form together as the paper was.
i tried some card weaving which I found very interesting. I wasn’t sure as to how to take it off of the card but nonetheless I still think they are a nice composition.
we were asked to create a mood board, to explore the colour scheme for our task and to think of things that I could possibly turn my garments into.
I chose for my colour scheme be to light and dark blues, burgundy, orange, black and white as these were the colours of the items I brought and some of the scraps I had from previous projects involving fabric.
