P1.1 Comprehensive sketches,

Process


I started taking the stitches and connecting them somehow to create a system. Drawing them in illustrator didn't visually look good. but at the same time i kept on remembering that i should think of the system more than the visual. but the system wouldn't work and wouldn't be understandable if my abstract shapes are not clear. so basically i was not satisfied.

.

So what i did is that i went to the fashion design studio and stitched the designs that i found interesting. it was really a different experience
and at the same time it was really fun. so the nect sept was me taking these stitches into photoshop and working on the system.

for my calender each month was going to be a different pattern, and when ever there is a spring/summer fashion show held on fall for example i would put the pattern of the spring/summer in the fall. but it looks confusing when you look at it visually.

So what i did is that i represented each 5 days with a pattern and weekends with another.
Then i placed the season's at the bottom each 2 connected to each other with a line, because in the fashion world they represent the fashion shows according to two seasons together (spring/summer) and (Fall/Winter).

In the Critique we discussed about the placement of forms and weather i should keep the seasons horizontal or vertical. Also since fashion show is about the future and whats going to be in style the next year, i was told to think about adding one more year 2010 to show the connection between the past and the future. I need to do more research and see where i can go from there.
