FELICITY BROWN

• Layering of fabric adds texture and volume to the outfit. A build up of material creates shape as well as adding to the design. 
• Taking inspiration from continuous layers of material that create a structure of lines used on the body.
• Looking at how colour has been used within the lines and material on the garments.

TRACIE CHENG

• Tracie Cheng simply uses singular lines to build up her design. 
• Repetitive lines that follow each other adds movement and depth to a flat print making it feel three dimensional. 
• Continuous design.  

Locating Brief. 14TH DECEMBER 2015

For my self initiated project I will be starting with primary research of crisp snowy mountains, ski slops and surrounding views in France. Initially I will be looking at the lines within these photographs, the edges of the mountains and the continuous marks that are made with the blade along the slopes, responding to these photos by creating abstract drawings and mark making. I hope to develop my ideas through printed textiles both screen and digital print working with a variety of other medias within print such as foiling, flocking as well as puff binder to experiment with my designs and help evolve my work. Also gaining further specialist understand of print within design.

I will start my research off by looking at artists and designers such as Tracie Cheng, Felicity Brown and Bottega Veneta for inspiration, especially looking at these designers to see how they use line within their work. I plan to use my time wisely within this project aiming to create a collection of samples and designs for a menswear fashion context of garments and accessories.
