5th october application of design.

beginning the 5Th of October we needed to have some design sheets started based on our group research. this was very difficult as we had only just began our group research and i don't think anyone thought 4 pages would be enough to base an entire collection on. i really enjoy enjoy the design process and i needed to get back into the style of drawing alot of designs. i do enjoy the design process when i exhaust the possibilities by drawing them out. as a group before we began designing we had to decide what each of us wee going to do. as in for our collection someone would need to do day wear and someone would need to do evening wear. as a team we decided that,

• adele would complete the tailoring aspect of the collection



• vicky wallace would do casual day wear



• claire would do evening wear



• zaianab would do young and edgy



• and we were unaware as to what jess would do as she was not in.

straight away we decided what we would all be making as we needed to have a collection of 6 garments to create a group line-up. claire dress, zaianab long top, jess jacket, adele trousers, myself a skirt and vicky a jumper/coat.

as a group we were to create flat drawings for our collection and we needed them for next week as we were beginning to make the garments we had not even finished designing yet.

on Thursday we had a group meeting with Angie to discuss what we would be making, we were also talking about fabric and colour choice as this is very important to our collection. after our group meeting, we went to Dewsbury and the market and other fabric stores to see if we could find the fabrics that were missing from our range. we managed to find some very exciting fabrics. with our chosen fabrics picked we were able to finalise what we would be making with angie the next day and our design details that would be suitable. as a team we decided to have satin piping as a design feature.

this work was really beginning to get on top of me already. although i felt i had stayed up to date and we were not as behind as other groups, it was still asking alot that by next Friday we would have our garments made. on the Friday we had a talk about look books, this confused everyone slightly i think. we all know we have a lot to do, so i think it may just be a case of getting on with it, and making the most of college time

these area few design sheets i had done....
