When I started this course I felt stressed and nervous. The classmates around me are excellent, which made me have a lot of pressure in the beginning of the learning process. I am very interested in design, at the same time, this course also exposed me to knowledge about business and media. Business and media… Continue reading Reflective Evaluation

I started thinking about what kind of fabrics I needed for my designs. First based on my previous color research and test. I determined that the main colors I needed for my fabric were black, blue and red. I’ve been in a fabric store for a long time and I’ve picked out a lot of… Continue reading Final

In this class, Lu Qiao and I formed a group. We shared each other’s work with each other. I think looking at other people’s research can allow me to learn a lot and learn from other people’s strengths. Through Lu Qiao’s blog, I can clearly see her thinking process. It also made me realize the… Continue reading Peer review

1. In this class I learned to use Sketchup software to make 3d models. At first I made some simple geometric shapes. I found the process fun and excited to learn to use new software and skills. In the end, I created an exhibition space of my own. Although there were some simple basic operations,… Continue reading Adobe class

I went to the McQueen show with my friends. This is the most amazing exhibition of clothes I have seen so far. Among the clothes on display is the AW19 collection, which is my favorite of all the I went to the McQueen show with my friends.

In this structural experiment, I extracted the element of water tank.I incorporated its shape into the garment, and I mainly designed and transformed the sleeves. The angular three-dimensional structure breaks the traditional costume sleeve modeling. I combined the early sleeve design into the overall costume modeling. Next, I designed some overall design drafts. And did… Continue reading Development 4

In the structural development experiment of this group, I combined some points from the preliminary investigation. That is the drape and texture that the skin of the person produces below the extrusion condition of glass surface. In this experiment, I chose a stretch fabric instead of white fabric. I textured the elastic fabric according to… Continue reading Development 3

This silhouette experiment is my sense of constraint based on preliminary research. It expresses the body being imprisoned. I used wool and wound it around the vertical cutting work. The use of wool to restrict the movement and freedom of the body also expresses the desire to break through this constraint. I’ve drawn lines with… Continue reading Development 2

I combined the sense of freedom from the preliminary research. Change the shape of the fabric as the limbs struggle. In this class, I first conducted the first 3D work experiment. At the beginning, I met some difficulties in the process of experiment. I want to make a new profile based on the preliminary research.… Continue reading Development 1

II conducted an experiment of my own. I sewed together a high-stretch fabric and packed myself into this airtight fabric. I simulated my escape inside, and after I got trapped, I struggled. The limbs stretch out and lift the fabric to form many shapes. Based on the word Soul Dance, I transform the struggle into… Continue reading Research 6
