Illustration, Garment Design and Making.

You need to finish your illustration work through the remainder of this week, so that you can move onto garment construction next week.
You should finish the tasks outlined below before next Monday (11th December) at the latest so that you can have almost 2 weeks (we break up at lunchtime on Thursday 21st) to make your piece. If you are able to conclude your illustration and design work this week then making an earlier start to the making would be wise (especially important for ambitious or complex garments).
We will arrange a studio photoshoot opportunity in the first week back after Christmas and we will be asking you to complete location shoots over the Festive break. Some fashion photographer research will support this phase of the project.
  • 4 pages of research into 2 Fashion illustrators, include a range of their work and your analysis of their technique.
  • A range of your photographs of the figure in "fashion" poses, printed out and included in your sketchbook.
  • 4 illustrator responses developed from your own photos (2 in the style of each illustrator you researched).
  • 6-8 quickly sketched design proposals for your garment/accessory, you could use a template for these. Annotate alongside to explain your ideas and techniques you intend to use. These ideas can be variations on a theme, each one does not need to be radically different.



  • A well finished illustration of your selected design (the one you intend to make) - you might choose to do this in the style of one of the illustrators you researched or develop a more independent illustrative approach of your own.




    You also need to think ahead and gather everything you need for your making, make a list of your requirements and order online (eBay www.ebay.co.uk/ is your friend here) or find other ways of obtaining your resources - suppliers such as Fabricland in Basingstoke www.fabricland.co.uk/fabric-stores/fabric-land-basingstoke may prove valuable. Charity shops are a good source for garments.
    Things you might require include:
    Garments to reconstruct/embellish, Cotton thread, zips, velcro, fabric, dyes, iron-on transfer paper, multiples of your object (clothes pegs, rubber bands etc.).
