Style over Substance

real scarf compilation
I'm nearly there.... less than 2 weeks to my hand in of my final major project - my last module and the end of my degree studies.  I have spent all day refining my final boards - as we are having a digital hand in I want the imagery to look as good as I am able - sadly we are not submitting the actual finished scarves only photographs.

Its really pushed me on yet another Photoshop learning curve and the devil is in the detail - never my strongest point but slowly it is coming together - I have proof read my sketchbook submission and corrected it accordingly - there was loads to do... and now I have been correcting the final collection.

mock up scarf compilation



I've prepped the boards on Photoshop and then put them into InDesign making a PDF and then proof reading that - meaning all corrections have to go through the process again....

I don't have a scarf printed up for every collection so I have had play with puppet warp on PS - it took some experimenting with - I faffed with layer masks but in the end it was easier and more effective to warp the image around the goats skull - and then I thresholded another scarf image, took out the back ground and used it to overlay the shadows to make it look a little more 3 dimensional.


Each of the 7 collections has a style board, a design board and a couple more boards illustrating the different colourways on offer. 

Its all taken my much longer than I had anticipated - both the putting imagery together and then ensuring it get into Indesign in a coherent order - If I'm honest my brain is starting to feel a bit mashed!!!!

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira.  An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed.  First of all the weather is really splendid.  Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds..  Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm.    Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
