The styling exercise allowed me to think outside the box, by using different occasion wear to create whole garments. With the use of other garments, we were able to create different silhouettes by using components, such as zips. We recorded the different styles we created, which came in handy when creating my rough designs. I was advised to use parts of a garment on different parts on the body, as this would create a completely different silhouette. For example, trousers could be used to make a top. This advise was useful, because it made it easier to create different shapes and angles. We were also advised not to deconstruct too much of a garment, so an element of the construction could be used to create shapes. I followed this advise, because i found out that part if too much of the garment was taken apart, not much could be used to reconstruct it from. I did however take the zips from the red jogging bottoms i used, because i thought they would be an interesting component to use. I wanted to create a conceptual design, then simplify it if necessary. I would aim to create this by selecting specific parts i like and developing further using many quick roughs.
I enjoyed getting straight to designing rather than concentrating on research, because this was an area i needed strengthening. Using magazine cut outs and placing them on different parts of the body was a useful technique to get ideas flowing. I discovered that using different sizes of garments created an interesting design. Despite the scale of clotting not being realistic, I think experimenting with scale for initial design ideas is important.
