So the first draft of the pattern was made from my roommate as the maniquin, the work room was closed by the time I was able to start working.
I was able to fit the pattern to Jasmine and it worked out fairly well.
This is what they look like flat.
This is what it looks like mocked up
I don’t have a pin cushion, so I had to make do.
I’m not quite sure if it’s because of my incompetence or just being tired but I find that for shortening takes a lot longer to do than just regular drawing. This was a twenty minute (yes, 20, not 2 minutes) study.
I also liked this one too.

The project was to take a zine, in my case a political zine, and add visuals to inhance the zine. I decided to use a combination of images and text to complete the challenge.
This is the original Zine by Shusui Kotoku
And this is my Zine based on her’s
these are the flat designs of the dress. It’s what it’ll look like when draped on the figure, for the most part.
It might look like this with out he darts if I decide to make the skirt a circle skirt
Above is the first layer. It will be made up of sketches and iterations of the pattern. It’ll be asymmetrical and ragged and diy looking.
The second layer is made up of muslin. It’ll also have layers of the patterns w mistakes.
The third and final layer is the “final product” It’s made up of a transparent fabric, maybe chiffon or silk of a sort
This is what the dress will like with all the layers put on top of each other. But of course it’ll vary depending on how the layers get done.
These are the measurements of the model.
The project I want to do is based on the concept of the time flow of the creative process. The time flow would be represented in a 3D garment. The garment will be constructed of the process, process will be the garment. This means that the garment is constructed of illustrations and the pattern made in the process of creating a full garment. I want the layers of creation to be seen so it will be like a three tiered garment where from the bottom the view will be the initial process and as the eye travels up the garment will be more “finished.” The garment is essentially made of 2D and digital elements pertaining to the concept.
I would use a combination of illustrator, 2D, and 3D work. I would create sketches and notes on 2D while researching the project, illustrator to create the final sketch and the patterns for the dress, and 3D work to make the garment itself. The materials I will need will be: paper, a mannequin, sewing machine/thread, adobe/laptop, and fabric.
The concepts used would be a combination of Deleuze and design theory. Deleuze Because it’s process it can be seen as secondness because we’re consciously experiencing the process of creation. Design theory because I’m going to have to consciously decide on which theories to use and which to not to use in order to make a successful piece.
When I started working on the project I really didn’t understand the concepts fully. I read and re-read the Deleuze reading to get a better understanding. I did outside research but it wasn’t until I started visualizing what I was reading.
For the liqueous perception image, this is what I understood:
Also known as the subjective Image
Where image in film are organized around a distinct center
A character
Not necessarily a person or animal or an object
But a subject
For the gaseous perception image:
Also known as the objective image
Where images are interacting with each other without creating a subject
There is no center
No character
These are also the text that I included on the lenticular (two pictures folded in accordion fashion). I wanted to keep the text simple and clean so I used variations of Helvetica Neue. Helvetica Neue thin for the informational text, and Helvetica Neue bold for the questions. I made the color of the text same to the color of the opposite picture. I decided to keep the boxes white because I prefer the box framing the text and the text feathering out of the image.
I chose the red photo for the gaseous image because it conveyed a long shot but also distorted it. Since the gaseous image is also about the montage, I used a screenshot of a montage. Because it’s between scenes, it had over lap so the image wasn’t really clear, thanks to this it further exemplifies the location with out a character. So I thought that it was the perfect representation of perception image.
I used the same location for the second photo because using the same setting is a lot more effective at showing the difference between two parts of the same theory. I chose the blue hue with the girl looking at her phone for the liqueous image specifically. This is for many reasons, one, there is a central character. It’s a girl looking down and into her phone, with the little with the red on the exit sign there’s just a little bit of exposition. It sets up her as a character and as the center. I also chose blue because it added to the sadness, and because I wanted a sharp contrast to the red.
