STORYBOARD DEVELOPMENT

Throughout this process I changed my ideas a few times; at first I planned to focus on print and geometric shapes, but due to Covid19 I had to adapt my ideas to fit the current situation as I was unable to access the facilities at University. And therefore, unable to develop my prints as much as I hoped I would. A large portion of my focus was on colour, so in the final moodboard I placed the colour scheme with Pantone references directly through the middle to put emphasis on it. I still derived key shapes from 1970s interiors but I combined it with more abstract patterns that I could achieve with fabric dye and do myself at home. I also developed this abstract idea into silhouettes and the physical shapes of garments, rather than just 2D, whilst in-keeping with my sportswear theme. The folded paper was my origami inspiration; rather than it being folded pieces of paper into animals and flowers, etc. I went for a more simple, geometric approach, focusing on the shadows and sharp edges that the creases and folds create. You could even say pleats are a form of origami as it is about folding.
