I decided originally to focus my project on structure and then use attachment in the form of fabrics and silhouette as opposed to using both words as initial inspiration. Throughout these two day workshops I used the words 'Structure' 'Armour' and 'Movement' to inspire my designs. When cutting down the original sketches I came up with 5 final designs, and then another 4 'broken down' finals, these included a flat drawing of the illustration along with the colour scheme and annotations. I enjoyed designing the first finals, and one of mine was picked as a favourite amongst peers which I was really happy with.
Throughout the week sketching workshop I faced many challenges, to start my drawing technique was too artsy, but I easily adapted this so it turned out to be fine. Another was mind blanking, however with the quick sketch workshop this taught me to put anything down as I thought of it which solved this problem. But the final challenge was in the very last workshop with the broken down drawings. Flat drawing was much harder than it seemed as it had to be extremely neat and represent every detail on the drawing as it would look, as if it was almost in pattern form. I found this really difficult as the was I draw is much more on the illustration side, this was good to learn as it helped me get details in. This technique will definitely be used in future, for example when sending a design to someone else to make it needs to be understandable to the viewer without me explaining it.
Through splitting the days into separate workshops it helped with my time management and process roughly how long I could need to design in future. I felt the beginning quick sketch task was most helpful, this was mainly as it helped me adapt my style efficiently. The others were great and I enjoyed the week thoroughly.
