For my live brief I
chose to take part in the Bradford Textile Society competition. In all honesty
I was so involved in my self initiated work, that I felt I didn’t want to give
time to a live project, meaning I selected to take part in a simpler brief so
as to not loose too much time to live brief work.
Despite this, I still
wanted to challenge myself and ensure that what I produced was an interesting
representation of my practice to send to Bradford. I decided to conduct this
project as a 2 day mini project, as this didn’t eat away at too much practice
time and was also a personal challenge to see what work I could produce within
a small production time. The category I decided to enter, required the
production of a print that could be used upon multiple garments within a
fashion collection. As I was in the midst of my second self initiated, I
decided to use my research and themes of feminism and protest to create two
fashion fabrics. Originally I had
produced simple fashion illustration to coincide with my fabrics, however after
a tutorial with Julie, she suggested I should work more into my illustrations
and attempt to tell a story on the page. After all my designs are extremely
concept led, so in order for this to shine through my designs, I had to use my
illustrations to their full potential.
