AS I AM writing this before our final critique, I do not know how it will be received save that I enjoyed making the final product and am excited to continue my personal exploration of ways in which the digital may be combined with the analog.

THIS IS THE last post for this project. A process that began three months ago, the end-product has been satisfying indeed. Certainly, there have been key elements of my personal design process that have come under scrutiny as a result of this project. I end this with an image of my final product - a distillation of my work that I bound in an accordion book format.

THESE ARE the interpretive drawings of the finishes that I had previously done. Since the project's emphasis has been on surface designs, I chose to do abstract figures and then applied my surface designs in loose strokes. The mood is very different and less formal when compared to the conventional fashion drawings. For all that fashion drawing is supposed to be loose and expressive, it has its own conventions and gestures.

AFTER LAST WEEK's reflection on the surface designs, I did a number of drafts and redid the 'bamboo stripe' print. It was interesting to note that the same decorative elements might be reconfigured to such different effect.
A further requirement of the project was to create an interpretative version of the traditional fashion figures that are used to illustrate surface and structural designs in fashion. Coincidentally, in a separate drawing class, we were recently called upon to experiment with other illustrative styles. I personally liked what was done in the class and wondered if it was possible to translate the style in a different medium. If anything, Digital class has suggested that it can.

AMID ALL the craziness of finals, I coloured the illustrations I made with the surface designs that I had created for Digital. While I do like them, I might revise the bamboo stripe print (placed on the lining of the tunic - the format for displaying that print will have to be rethought) because upon reflection, they appear to lack the energy that the chrysanthemum print has.
