Eye Know

LOGO

EYE KNOW is the name that Meagan and I chose for our product. The logo represent an image of an eye because eyes are like the brand image of our product. The text above the logo acts as eye lashes while the diamond inside the eye ball means wise in the tribal language. 

These are some of the logos that I've design but was not chosen for final.

ANALYTICAL DRAWING

PRODUCT PROTOTYPE

My partner and I came up with four types of eye in order to make sure that every pieces can be worn and will not permanently stay on the necklace.

PRODUCT POSTER

Giving it a natural quality while keeping a high quality piece. Using hand woven silk combied with such beautiful gemstones varying by design. You can combine a piece that is naturally beautiful in even way. We made this piece so that the wearer along with the people surrounding can understand the emotions of someone without saying a single word.

Design Process

MATERIALS

TURQUOISE

Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral. It is used in several parts of the product; the background of the eye, the surrounding circle, etc. Basically, turquoise is used in almost every blue-green parts of the product as it has so many shades.

QUARTZ

Quartz is an abundant mineral in the Earth's

continental crust. It has a clear, natural white color which

fits perfectly to the white part of the eyes. 

 WULFENITE

Wulfenite often found as thin tabular crystals with a bright orange-red to yellow-orange color. The background of the product contains a lot of yellow shades, therefore Wulfenite would be a very useful stone as the shades are so widely ranged.

Talking about our event, we came up with the differences and similarities of our event. We place them in each section of the venn diagram.

Unarmored Drawing

what if you got salted?

After I made a garment that will prevent me from getting harm by the sea creatures, the following project was about what will happen to me if that garment was not present at that time. 

Research is the first thing I did as I have no idea what an anatomical structure is. I basically typed 'anatomical structure of sea animals' into google. And this image is the source of my inspiration for this piece.

This is the anatomical structure of an urchin, which is a small, spiny sea animal. Their shell, or "test", is round and spiny, typically from 3 to 10 centimeters. They are very sharp and fine, it will give the person a rapid long sting if he or she stepped on them. 

Visually the urchin looks painful itself without doing anything to it, so I use this idea as a starter. My event is about the contrast between pain and beauty, now that I've got the pain, I have to search for the beauty. I think about what element will weaken the pain. Waves are the thing I came up with. 

PAINTING

After I have chosen the figure I want to work with, I transfer it onto an illustration board.

Then I start placing the outline of the urchin in several places of the body. When I'm satisfied with everything, I apply acrylic paint onto my drawing. 

PROCESSES

Before I apply paint on top of the sharp urchin, I explore the color by using a tracing paper first in order to make less mistake

Figure

Sumi ink is the media I chose to work with. I love the darkness of the stroke and how the tone changes by just mixing the ink with water. 

Design Review

 MARNI

I love this garment. I think it is simply elegant and cool at the same time. The brightness of the upper part of the dress seems to be so vibrant that the model needs to wear a sunglasses. I think the darker color of the lower part did a great job of minimizing the brightness of the garment. However, even though lower part is very dark, it did not took over the upper part of the garment.

The cutting and crafting of this garment is very, very clean and neat. This makes the garment look even more elegant and powerful. I love how the garment look very block-liked shape but does not look too big on the person wearing it. 

The shininess of the lower part of the dress gives a little bit of playful character to the garment. But even if it is not shiny, I think it will still look awesome.
