THE MET
ARMS AND ARMORS
I love drawing these arms and armors a lot more than drawing clothes made by PRADA and SCHIPARELLI. I got fascinated by the textures and details in the glaives.

 

 PRADA & SCHIAPARELLI

even though I don't like sketching clothes, but the expedition was amazing and I got fascinated by them. I love both Prada and Schiaparelli clothes.

INTENTION

My intention for the garment was to make a garment that will protect the me from the annoying sea creatures in the Maldives. In order to do that, I have a thought about how to become unnoticed in the ocean. That was when the idea of being camouflage came up into my mind. 

I based all the colors of the garment with the colors of the ocean, otherwise I won't be able to camouflage and would surely got distracted by the creatures again.

SUCCESS/EDIT

I think the most successful part of my garment was the trouser, especially the pattern that I stitched on them. It took me two whole days to do those pattern. At first I thought it would be simple and would be quite easily to do. But in reality, it was very time consuming. I ran out of thread for 3 times which is very annoying.

I would like to edit my top a little bit - just to make it cleaner and have nicer edges. This goes to the trouser as well. Also transition. The transition from my top to my trouser is still an issue I have to think about - I could elongate the top a little bit just enough to full the empty space between the top and the trouser.

I would say that the trouser is my strongest part of the piece. Reason for that is just because I like it more than the top.

EXPLORING WITH PAPER + DESIGN

Before going onto making the real garment, I had a play with colored paper in order to give me a sense of how paper works.

Impossible conversation

IMPOSSIBLE CONVERSATION

I would love to have an impossible conversation with Egon Schiele. I love, love, and love his drawings.

Schiel was known for his contour drawings.

I love contour drawings. In my opinion, contour drawings are a lot more interesting than a normal drawings. It seems to have a meaning behind the drawing, unlike normal drawing where you can know straight away when you look at it.

By looking at his works, it influenced me to draw in a contour style in numerous ways. This makes me become more creative and allows me to do something I never think I can.

 

I'm Salted, are you?

FINAL BOOK COVER

'Salt' is still the main lead of my work. I think the word 'salted' is quite straight forward, it directly links to the sea, but somehow interesting. After I played with illustrator and photoshop. I cut out some part of my picture that contain cluster of colored salt, adjust the color of it and assemble them into a composition.  The brightness of the salt varies from dark to light. I also create my own font by using pen tool in illustrator. As you can see, the font have sharp edges. These sharp edges represent the pain and the sting I got from the small fishes.

This is my first book cover - not the final

 there are not much changes between this and the final. For the final I just increased the size of the title and move them up a little bit.

 JOSEF ALBERS

In this piece, I cut copies of Josef Alberts' work into little pieces. Then glue them based upon the shade of each piece - white to dark 

Turning abstract

FINAL

Acrylic on canvas;

Sharp edges and lines are the gadget of my piece as I think it can represent the word painful quite well. Other than that, the piece must be done using only black and white colors, therefore I think by using simple shapes would be the most relevant.

DESIGN PROCESSES

chosen abstract word - painful

As salt shifted to graphic

Acrylic on illustration board; 

When I think about things that are related to my event, salt is the first thing that came right up into my mind. This could be because almost every time I went into the sea I have to swallow at least one mouth full of sea water, which I have no idea why. I did not take a picture of salt because that would be way too boring. Instead, I had a play with them; I add colors into it to make it looks more interesting and to look more ocean-like. After that I just randomly scrub the colored salt onto my hands and took a picture of it. I tried to make the actions look the most painful as I can.
