GFW10 Final Illustrations

Here are my final illustrations for my elective.

 I created them by drawing a vector face and body outline and adding shading. To give the outfits the bold, sketched look I used the filter effects Poster Edges, Cutout and Water colour.

I am really happy with the way my illustrations turned out and I have loved experimenting with the different ways to edit and present

A few more tests for CAD I have just found...

This is my vector illustration with collage, I wanted to make the dress look different to how the origional picture was.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my vector model, i really like the drawn effect and how it looks like it could have been done with an ink pen.

 Another vector illustration. To create the knitted look on the garments i have made my own brush with my name on it and simply covered the top and skirt over the top with it.

I created this illustration, and the rest of the images below, by using illustrator and photoshop. i used the distort and transform effect and used different techniques on each of the images below to find interesting ways of presenting.

Final CAD Line up of GFW 2009

I chose to use the vector effect for the faces of the models so their facial features stood out alot more than they did on the origional photograph.

To create the bold drawn detailing of the outfits I selected each one individually and filtered them to a watercolour effect and again using the poster edge filter.

I love my final look, I just need to put the booklet together now... 

Customer Profile

This is my Customer Profile board I designed for my Quintessentially English collection for All Saints.

I wanted to capture what a woman customer in her 20's would listen to, watch and do in her spare time.

I also wanted to show how my customer would wear the current All Saints garments, I got my friend Judith to model a few summer dresses I bought a couple of months ago...

 This is Judith in the Lamira dress, I love the way the ruffles fall on the figure and the unusual cut to the bottom give it a really unique look.

This is the Poison dress, the sequins really give the garment its unique edge, it also comes in Black.

This is the Nila Top, although it is only ment to be a top, i thought it fell and looked better than the actual dress.

It has a really unusual cut and has lots of layers that you can't really see in the photo. You can also alter the height of the bust line with the strings around the arms.

This is the Mekai top, it is the exact same style as the Nila top above. I love the sequins and jewels on the front of it, the layers from the side sections really make the top fall nicely and give the silhouette an unusual look.

Quintessentially English

As I chose the British Army for the All Saints collection, I needed a good colour board to not only capture the look of the Army, but also keep in touch with All Saints routes...

I chose to design two boards both with the same images, only photoshopped to create different colours and tones. I felt that my collection could use a little more colour in, rather than the softer neutral colours All Saints seem to favour, and being an upcoming spring/summer collection I thought it would be a good and interesting change.

Second Year Elective

This semester I have been working on turning catwalk images into CAD illustrations, here is an example of some of my work so far...

I created this illustration by the cutout filter.

 This is one of my vector illustrations, I drew around the figure with the pen tool and then filled the outfit in with pattern collages.

 This is a mix between my vector and filtered illustration.

This is also my vector illustration, I played around with the filter tab to choose different effects to make the image more eyecatching.

 

AllSaints a/w 2010/11

I LOVE this new collection for AllSaints, it shows the raw edginess of the brand by how they style each item. Chunky knits with a heavy sequin mini skirt together with Damisi Boots, slacker glam.
