LIVE PROJECT - Lumula Nassuna

Received the project brief before we actually began the project and I liked what the aim of the project was, and I thought it was different from what I have designed, so it was a little out of my comfort zone but I do like a challenge. It all began well with research and looking at different artists for me to be able to move forward with ideas. From the artists I gathered that I wanted to present identity of a woman and use one artist to represent the colour from her paintings, they were two simple tones of colour and they contradicted each other.

I created a mind map discussing what I thought they were representing and then researched designers that created suits and the different styles and shapes of them. I played with pleats and the different shapes I could form on a body, some of the shapes that I used were relating to the shape on the artists work. I created some sketches from the stand work, on how they would look styled as a suit, I think the pleats work the most. I thought I would be more experimental and try something new by manipulation stand work on photoshop but I think it was ok but not my best work as I felt it was ver limiting.

I created much more detailed designs that were created from development from stand work, I would have developed further my ideas but I just felt so confused and didn't know where to go further. I just felt that there was nothing for me to go on for this project, so I have not completed it. Next time, I will ask for help on how I can move on with the project.
