Design Class #2

Another design class again today…. What to say, what to say.  Well I went in and I have to admit I didn’t spend hours each day doing research, but basically I was reamed for not doing so I was even questioned on how I even got into the program! Well Danielle sat down with us one-on-one today and when it came time for my turn I showed what I had and she said that was not nearly enough and that they weren’t even good visuals. I told her that I didn’t really know how to go about “visual” research and she asked why I didn’t ask her last week in class. Well Miss Diva, I didn’t ask you because your horribly intimidating, not because you’re an up and coming designer, but because you came in the first day, didn’t even introduce yourself and then ripped apart what we had done as if we should have known that it was shit! Maybe if you were more pleasant and approachable we wouldn’t have had this problem this week. Creating this diva barrier around yourself doesn’t really invite people to ask questions for your info. Well that was my day, hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Update on My Shirt Project

So just a little info behind the inner workings of how I design:

 For the shirt project we are supposed to choose 10 descriptor words and explore how it relates to shirts, such as collar, cuff, stripes, etc. Here are my ten words:

 

Anatomy

Collar

Cuff

Plants

Sleeve/Shoulder

Japan

Armor

Pleating

Birds

S&M/Bondage

 

Basically I’m exploring each one of these words in context with the development of a shirt. For instance I have been designing around the human anatomy, i.e. bones, musculature, organs, etc., and I have been trying create designs that incorporate the grotesque inner body in an aesthetically pleasing way. So I have to do this same process for all 10 of these words by Tuesday, hopefully they like it!
