PRINTS

Learned the technicals and important file names and the resolution that you should be working at when printing in different sizes. I have been taught before how to create a print through photoshop but this workshop allowed me to refresh my mind and develop my knowledge which was awesome. I enjoyed this workshop very much as it allowed me to develop designs and ideas that were gathered from research to create prints for garment designs. Began with just a simple circle shop and then began adding layers, cutting away shapes to create holes from a basic shape. Which was developed further by playing around with the paintbrush and creating artistic drawings to get used to the software, Photoshop.

Continued with print and developed our basic skills so that I could create something more advanced and then actually start creating a collection and applying the print on to any stand experiments or sketches that I create. When applying the print onto a garment design you have to change the colour tone so that it doesn't look flat and you can capture the shadows and shapes of the piece.
Created two prints and had to link them together with the other prints from your teammates to create a garment, my team created a halter neck crop top and I think it was constructed very well as the folds and the shapes of the prints just made it all connect.
As we had a lot of blue tones on prints we decided as a team to go with that and select our two
favourite and  randomly we all used circular shapes which also enhanced the garment and added to the blue effect.

I continued during the rest of the week developing my ideas in my sketchbook and completing sketches of my accessories and developing ideas but trying out the use of different media, to make the page look different as well as strong at my skill level. It has not been so bad when doing this as i think that the accessories workshop helped a lot on what is expected, so just continued on and now developing on further.
