Branding Project, Developed

Original photos

I have been looking into my photos and how I can layer up the texture. I have started layering rubbing's of textures using tracing paper and found that this is working well, so then went on photoshop and started layering up my photos on here, lowering the opacity so that the textures overlap and make more patterns, and also changing the colour of my photos in accordance with my colour pallet.

 I think that I may be in a position to knit now as I have defined my colour pallet and have multiple images to work from. I feel that when I start knitting I will start to realise and find new techniques and qualities to put into my knit samples.

I think that actually knitting different sections of knit, and linking them together at the top will be the best way to present my knits, this will be best as Marni's collection is all about layering clothes not being able to see when the garment begins and ends.

Self Initiated, Developed

With the paintings I have produced I really like all the colours and dark marks, I find that I need to exaggerate the marks so that I can translate them into knit techniques. And also refine my colour pallet.

I want my knits to have a lot of layers as within my paintings, layering of marks is very clear. Also I think that building up techniques will portray chaos, rather than my knits being flat. I feel that I need to do some drawings more simple to show some more basic shapes that I can make on the machine. Also establish what marks I want to layer on and how, this will require testing out different ways on adding texture and detail. I will try out embroidery, beading and foiling.

Refined colour pallet

This week I have tried to refine my colour pallet, so it has not got every shade of every colour. but has a selected choice from my imagery.
