On Tuesday I chose 3 of my details and photocopied them 8 times. I then used these to create shapes on the mannequin. I really enjoyed this task and found it useful for my design development because it made me think about how I could use my details in a completely new way. By enlarging them and placing them on different parts of the body I was able to create completely new designs. I think it's interesting that the details don't even look like themselves anymore, but instead something completely new. I think the process of working on the stand is really important because the end result of clothes will be 3D so it is important to design around the body. From each design that I made on the mannequin there are many ways that I could develop it into a garment. I printed off my favourite designs and did some quick illustrations next to each. I think this process was really good for me because it helped me to quickly generate lots of ideas.
Next I chose a few of my favourite quick designs and developed these by changing small details each time. I also started to think about colour and fabric choices so I started to draw my designs in colour and put little fabric swatches next to them. By drawing them in colour I was able to start to imagine how these garments would look if they were actually made.
