From the reflection of previous projects and modules, I have
concluded that the work I produce is best achieved when working towards fixed briefs.
I now realise that I prefer working within guidelines and believe that this can
help with my management of a project whilst appears dependent on the quality
and quantity of work generated.
These reasons have settled my decision for working with a
fixed brief for this last unit x module which I have decided will be the current
live brief from Hand and Lock company. I have chosen this particular love for
embroidery and fashion based context. I also felt that this would be a good way
of showing collaboration it is not that of another designer but I am combining my
work against another’s.
From looking into the brief further, I realise that the suggested
research was very broad however; I noticed there was an option ‘national
history museum’, which I had actually not that long ago visited, from this trip
I could remember seeing some interesting beetles. This is where my research was
to begin; I then started looking at the photographs taken of the beetles as
well as those that other people had photographed, getting them off blogs and
imagery sites such as Pinterest etc. These
images collated instantly drew my eye to the unusual shapes, colours and patterns
in which were occurring within these beetle imagery.I started to look at the colour palette that was within the
Hand and Lock brief, and started making comparisons.
From looking at the imagery of these beetles, I realised
that the interest I had in them was defiantly the colouring. However, I could
see comparison in the work I usually do. My work is typically inspired by
imagery of interest, which is usually in some way related to natural forms such
as decay. I usually get this imagery from my own photography. These beetles I
has been looking at had patterns like rust and crusting paint.
