week six: image development



This image that I used in my project presentation summarizes my generic investigation findings in the way that it captures a moment of movement where the garment is responding. It shows the extension and length that the nylon spandex has reach simply by force or energy. The power that the body has to form unique and unusual shapes when confined by a fabric will always manifests a novel silhouette. Here the model progresses inside the structure of the swimsuit, as she tries to cover or even hide herself within it, intensifying its prime form. The distinct points of pressure that her fingers have create are highlighted by the contrast of black and white extremities within the photo. My approach was to strip all colour and tone in order to simplify this image to present it in its rawest form, exposing the effortlessness of this particular stretch fabric and its initial reaction to the body.

Not only was the presentation of the five images which best portrayed my generic investigation beneficial for me, but I enjoyed taking in the design concepts and course of others. For each person to voice their individual hypothesis on the hub of 'stretch generics' and therefore generic garments was personally a motivating moment. The disparity in the theory of each students was absorbing along with their chosen visual aid which validated and exhibited those notions that they were articulating.
