With the images from the slide workshop, I did further experimenting by collaging on them physically; glueing on strands of hair using yarns, drawing on them using different types of medium. I tried to trap some ink under tape again but this time on actual printed image. I then experimented more by digitally layering images on top of each other using photoshop. I decided to layer the illustration I did as it looks similar to scratching film.
I’ve been a little fashionista for as long as I can remember and I have to admit some of my style choices I made were pretty embarrassing and cringe-worthy – as I recall the days while writing this. I’m originally from Philippines and moved to England when I was 7 years old. Moving here made me more exposed to the art and fashion industry. Growing and embracing my creativity – now fulfilling a career in fashion while studying a course of Fashion Communications. At this moment I’m not quite sure what I want to do specifically career wise. That’s why I’ve chosen this course so I can explore other possible careers within the Fashion Communication course.
I did a quick sketch using pen and I thought off collaging the actual image with my illustration.
Today we did slide projecting with our own images. I like how it is a little distorted and ‘destroyed’ from printing on acetate as the ink don’t dry easily on a plastic surface. You can see blobs of ink on some pictures. Afterwards, we destroyed the images by scratching on it, adding colour using pens, trapping ink under cello tape, burning and I also stuck pieces of hair onto one of my slides using tape – shown below.
These are images that I particularly like from out styling workshop. I’ve also edited to make the walls more whiter and sharpen the details of the whort shirt and denim.
As I didn’t have any hair to play with at this point, I started to use wool to recreate braids. Experimenting with the taut of the braids and showing the textures from different braids that I’ve done above I also used different coloured yarns to show the pattern it makes.
Looked at ‘hair’ in catwalks. They aren’t exactly human hair but are all made of goat hair, long enough for it to look like human hair especially the Gucci sliders that looks a hairy character like Chewbacca from Star Wars.
A short film of what I was up to during my freshers. This is a mini project of where we use our mobile phone devices to record and also edit the video using downloadable apps on our phones, showing the practicality of a mobile phone as a tool within our projects.
