Experimentation was a key part of this unit, using bright colour, a range of media and drawing styles. My work using bold and thick pen became my most successful work.

DESIGN PROCESS AND APPLICATION CHILDRENSWEAR S/S ‘17
IMAGES OF GRAFFITI INSPIRED ME TO CREATE MY OWN DIGITAL PRINT. AFTER TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF GRAFFITI ON WALLS AND AT SKATEPARKS, I CREATED MY OWN REPEAT PRINTS IN TWO COLOURWAYS WHICH I LATER USED ON MY FINAL GARMENT.
USING MODARIS PATTERN CUTTING SOFTWARE, I CREATED PATTERNS FOR A CHILD’S SHIRT AND JEANS.
MY DESIGNS FEATURE FLARED JEANS WITH CUT-OUTS THROUGH THE FRONT, AND A SHIRT WITH A SLANTED BUTTON STAND AND CURVED PANELS.
