Final illustrations

This is a collection of some finished illustrations that i did to help along my illustration work. i created these by using the photos from my earlier photo shoot and photoshop. i think the overall outcome is a collective elegant set of illustrations and with a little more work could be really in keeping with my style.

Traditional collage




I have also done some traditional collage with different coloured card in my sketchbook to show and experiment with different shape and ways to translate those ideas and shapes into garments later on. i have taken some pictures of my sketchbook to show the type of collage.
Core collage experimentation

Using my photo shoot i have also used this in my core project to start experimenting with collage and designer work i have found inspiration from here is an example.
Illustration experimentation


With my previous photo shoot images i have started to experiment with them to create my own illustrations. i think overall they have worked really well and show a true progression. here are a few examples.





I have done a photo shoot to help me along with my illustrations. here are just a couple of original photos that i will later experiment and begin to develop into my own illustrations.



Using my initial research and my in-depth research into my chosen theme of 1930's hollywood glamour i have put together some collage to develop different silhouettes and shape ideas.

As i am looking into the 1930's for inspiration for my collection. i have chosen to look into other designers and previous collections that have also found inspiration from this iconic era. The designer collection i found to have gone with this theme the most is the 2008/2009 fall RTW collection John Galliano. http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2008RTW-JNGALLNO - this is where you can find the collection.


After researching into old hollywood musicals from the 20's-50s i have decided to focus on the 30's and start to look into art deco and the era of the 1930's. Here are a few images of art deco buildings from my sketchbook that i have looked into fro further inspiration.





For my new project i will be looking into old hollywood musicals from the 20s - 50s
here is some of my initial sketchbook research pages.
