For this module we had to research trend, product, branding and packaging. After researching we had to decide which product we would be making to sell in the shop. I decided to follow the trend, swallows and vintage birdcages. I then realised that this had been used a lot on the high street so after a few drawings i decided to look more at just feathers. After drawing one feather I fell in love and the level of my drawing was a lot higher. My final product was going to be two scarves which fell alongside each other.
This is the mood-board I produced to help me keep my mind set for the rest of the project.
I started drawing feathers using fine liner and pencil.
I was very happy with my end result when I was finished drawing.
After I was finished drawing, I started to design a hand drawn repeat on tracing paper. Once I was happy with repeat I got this put onto a machine so I can start experimenting with colours.
Screen Printing
These are the colours I decided to use on my screen prints, using water based inks.
These are three samples I produced, I was testing colours to see if I was happy with the outcome, which I was, and I felt they worked well alongside each other.
After sampling individual feathers, I started to screen print the hand drawn repeat I produced. I decided on these two to be my final outcomes for my scarves. I didn't want them to be identical, but I wanted them to lie alongside each other well, so I decided on one scarf to be full of colour and the other to just include a light colour and the strongest colour in the palette, which I felt was the coral.
