In class we are learning to finally bring our hand-drawn flats from Integrated Studio into the computer to add color, prints, and specs. This adds a whole new dimension to the clothes we can design-- the addition of digital prints and colors gives a wider variety of choices at our fingertips that otherwise would be overlooked using goauche.
Starting with the basics, we've scanned and played with the thresholds of two tops, two bottoms, and a dress that we've designed. I used flats from my Salt collection in September.
We have to create two color palettes for our flats to include a large number of the prints we worked on last session. One palette of mine is based on New England sunsets, focusing on deep desaturated blues with shocking golds and reds.
The other color palette is inspired by a Technicolor Garden. There are pop-colored florals and prints along with sorbet hues.
Both palettes will be interesting to further develop for the final. Onto applying the prints to figures next!
