Week 1: 3/4/2023 Task 1 Introduction & briefing ( MIND MAP & UNCONVENTIONAL AND WEARABLE ART )




TASK 1: INTRODUCTION & BRIEFING 

During Week 1, we were briefed on our first task which is fabric manipulation and sampling. We were asked to create a mind map with designs that inspired us and implement unconventional materials in that design. We had started to research and find images of fabric manipulation that inspired us to interpret the 'Recycle, Repurpose and Re-imagine'. 

DEFINITION OF UNCONVENTIONAL & WEARABLE ART : 

The use of various materials that are normally not used in making garments and creating a fabric that is wearable. Unconventional materials include plastic, glass, ropes, sticks, balloons and many more. These materials are then manipulated together into one sample that can be designed into a garment.  

MY MAIN THEME: CROCHET 


 WEEK 1 - MIND-MAPPING 






IDEAS:


With the use of raffia strings, I could create a texture that is bulky which is similar to the picture shown above. The design is plain but unique. 


This is an example of a patchy work style. I could use various ropes and colors to create a similar fabric texture.

ASSIGNMENT 02 - INITIATING FINAL PRODUCT LINE

Image
 In this assignment, I am translating my earlier research findings into functional, adaptive garments. The goal is to experiment with various functional design elements while addressing consumer pain points and filling market gaps. Working independently, I will focus on creating innovative design solutions tailored to the needs I identified. On the 23rd of October, we made a visit to NASOM center in Batu Caves. The National autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) is a society formed in 1986 by a group of parents and professionals with the aim to deliver lifespan services to the community of persons suffering from autism. We spent 3 hours on our visit where they had given us a tour around the place.  There were many interactive elements around the rooms to keep the kids engaged. Some include rooms with different functions. One of it that caught my attention was this light tube that you had to pump for the bubbles to rise up the liquid.  We had also carried out a game session wi...

 GARMENT CREATION TECHNOLOGY 1  ASSIGNMENT 1 During our first week of class, we were briefed on the semesters schedule and flow of all future assignments. Then we started with our first assignment.  For our first assignment, we were tasked with creating a Clo3D version of one of our previous designs. I chose to remake the kids' adaptive clothing design I developed in the previous semester. Top Front Top Back Pants Front Pants Back These were the designs that I chose to transfer to Clo3D. I did make a few adjustments to the design when recreating it in Clo3D as I was unable to replicate the exact design.  As for the top, I removed the snap button detail and also the zip flap. Instead, I made the zip a 2-way zipper on CLO3D. Besides that, there was a box pleat at the back of the top. As I was unable to replicate that detail on CLO3D, I replaced it with a gather stitch to have a similar function for the top, ease movement.  Final outcome:  Front Back Technical...

ASSIGNMENT 01 - INTRODUCTION TO 3D CREATION

Image
 For our first assignment, we were tasked to complete 3 complete outfit variations using CLO3D.  1st Variation:  Basic bodice block and skirt. For this design, I had drafted a pattern for a basic bodice and skirt following the guidance of Dr.Alshaima. After drafting the basic bodice on the 2D pattern, I continued to simulate the garment by adjusting it around the body to check the fit of the garment. On the 1st fit, I found out that the bodice was slightly loose. So, I reduced the waist size sinching it in.  This is the final outcome of the 1st Variation:  Front  Back Final 2D pattern 2nd Variation:  For my 2nd Variation, I decided to do a short, ruffled sleeves with a dip V-neck front and back bodice paired with a pencil skirt. As for the patter, I adjusted the front bodice neckline to a V-neck (same with the back) and used rectangle strips for the ruffled strips. I had to adjust the elasticity of the ruffles a number of times to get a clean look for ...
