Final product

The front cover of our magazine using photoshop  

the material and process pages explaining the materials used to make the garment and describing the process of the making of the dress 

What we learned and the photoshoot

Artist statement explaining what we had to do and what we want to show.  
I really like how the magazine turned out to be and I now can use photoshop

Camouflage figure drawing

 I drew the outline of the figure but the skeleton is a little more detailed. Once finished drawing the outline i painted the camouflage patterns behind in the corresponding colors.
















This is the skeleton and i drew
a bit more than just the outline

Color wheel

Figure drawing B&W

The task was to draw what was in front of us by pencil and once we did, we had to paint in black all the darker shades and leave the rest white.

Photo shoot for the 'camouflage' dress

This is one of the many pictures from the photo shoot. We had to make a photo shoot showing the 'camouflage' based garment so that we could then make a magazine cover along with a magazine with a minimum of 8 pages. Our dress was inspired from a party shop so we decided to make a dress that would show the 'dark' side of the party. However, we also went to an alleyway to take more pictures because it was a 'darker' and more scary location with graffiti on the walls making it more dirty and mysterious.

Gray scale

An attempt to paint a gray scale. The third gray and fourth are too similar I should have done the third gray darker

Creating and repeating a pattern in different rotations


This was the making of the pattern and I rotated it and also switched the black with the white. I then made a sketch of how the final drawing would look like.










This is my final drawing after continuing the same pattern in different rotations and coloring them in.

Geometric colored painting

 This is the final drawing. From the color wheel we had to choose two dark colors, two light colors and two middle value colors.
This is the drawing of the colored piece. We had to trace it on another paper so that we could then paint it in.





These are some of the sketches
we had to make before drawing
the final shape in order to get some ideas

Skyline drawing

This is what i could see from the highline. I drew the negative spaces and then tried to add more details into the drawing by doing some shading.

Product design

A mood board of some ideas that came to my mind while thinking about an accessory for the garment that can be useful and that related to the purpose of the garment.

Some more sketches...

the making of the final accessory; a wooden bag covered with black silk to combine it with the garment but I did not like how the final accessory came out. The bag was too symmetrical and had a boring shape.

'Camouflage' project, Choosing the location and the making of the garment

Some pictures of the locations we explored and what we liked about them
A brainstorm of words that came out in class while looking at the pictures of the different locations and their opposites
