I've not long come back from class, where I have been set another two projects, the main project is on Designing a garment that is inspired by eco friendly design. The side project is creating a fashion film. Both projects are set to run through Christmas and into the new year, this has both positives and negatives. The positive is that I will be able to work on my project at home using my machine, which is slightly more reliable than the ones I have been using out here. But then the negative being the fact I will be working all through the Christmas break, and this means that I wont be spending as much time having fun with my family. Something which has become increasingly difficult for me during my time out here, I miss them so much, and even though we have modern technology like FaceTime and Skype, its not the same as seeing them all face to face. Its only a couple of weeks and I will be home, I keep trying to remind myself.
This post was looking a bit bare, so instead of making a new post, I thought that I would just update this one. In my last class I had to come with three ideas for what area of Eco Design I would look into for my project. I proposed three ideas to my lecturer, the ideas that I presented were, Biodegradable dress, jewellery made from cable ties or reinvented clothing from charity shops. My lecturer preferred my last idea and to be honest, so did I, its more fun. At least I can go a bit crazy with the design. So anyway, in preparation for the class tomorrow, I have put together some inspiration on a board, that's the photo above. And I also designed a quick outfit, its only a very basic sketch but you can get the idea, I think I may use shirts to create the whole outfit, even the skirt, I will take different parts of them and make a new item, and I will do all of this with making sure that I do not waste any fabric in the process. This will keep well within the idea of Eco friendly fashion. This project will be very similar to a project that I have worked on before. Only the errors I made in the last one, I will rectify for this time around. Oh and the sketch that I did underneath, I have already changed my mind about it, I will still present it to my lecturer tomorrow, but I will be sure to be spending the whole weekend re-designing. I think the general idea of the design I have just done it way too boring and plain.
