Future Fashions (Manchester)

Our Final Film ....

Collaborative Designs

Below are examples of our group designs that influenced our final outcome, my personal drawings are evident within each.  The images are evidence of a definate working method as they illustrate how drawing and intial research, both form the basis for development and the evolution of an outcome; the success of our collaboration was dependant on such methods.

Projection Stills

The following images illustrate the final stages of development.  As a group we spent monday completing our final film, and are currently in the process of editing.  In reflection the stills portray our 'patchwork culture' effectively; the designs evident in each projection depict colour, pattern and texture we initially discovered from our searches.  The amalgamation of designs are fluent, complimentary and convincing and we believe such stills will compliment our digital outcome well in the form of large scale prints.  To date, taking part in the group task has allowed me to develop knowledge in relation to digital design; I am now more aware of this pratice as a concept, and will transfer such skills for future tasks.  Such knowledge has influenced my own working method from inital research through to outcome and has significantly effected my development.

 

 

( The collection above focuses on the significance of individual drawing, each still highlights the layering and integration of a range of themes, fullfilling our inital aims; creating designs that interpret a 'clashing of cultures'.)

Group Development

 Today we developed our 'patchwork culture' theme, the image below illustrates the areas of Manchester we will initially research, considering; people, pattern, colour, shape, texture, smells and history, in order to present to our group for Thursday.
Going forward we aim to decide whether our work will 'solve a problem' or ' make a statement'. In order to do this we will consider WHO we are targeting.
Questions to consider whilst researching...
. Are we going to celebrate how different people are? ( highlight the cultural clashes)
.will existing minorities become the majority?
.will we aim to solve the problem of cultural segregation, I.e bring people together??, or do we not see this as a problem?
.will certain cultural references loose their symbolism in the future?
