CAD: All in one post

So, I completely lied out of my teeth when I said I was going to catch up on my blogging over the holidays, but come on, I'm not wonder woman. Anyway as my last post said I was bust doing CAD work which has been my favourite project of all so far. First we had to make a page all about the trend you were given (this project actually fits in with the fashion show project, so our trend was safari) so I created  board all about safari its main purpose was to be a mood board but there was some fashion in it.

I think I did this well as I stuck to  main colour pallet and didn't really stray from it at all, I also think the patterns I chose coincided with the trend very well.the 3 catwalk designers using safari on this board were Milly, Gucci and Ralph Lauren.
The next board was to all be about illustrators, however I did get this board a little wrong, how I thought it had to be was just illustrators work, any illustrator. However when looking into my work deeper the teachers thought it best to spring on me that it was to be about fashion illustrators only so I had to change my whole board about a month after I did  the original, but for a 20minute job I think it worked really well, the new board I mean.

After this came the fashion board I created just about 2011 catwalk trends that were linking into mine so ones with colour pallets similar or tribal patterns on the outfits. I chose to look at Missoni and Gucci, I included my own home made colour pallets that were all made on-line using the actual colours from the chosen garments on the page.

This one is my favourite, the designing of our own clothes. I chose 2 patterns from on-line that I thought suited the tribal trend, so large bold prints with lots of things going on. I then used this pattern on some garments to make a 9 piece catwalk.I did 4 of one pattern including 3 ballerina tops all of the same style and some culottes. The other pattern I designed 5 garments including 3 a-line dresses and 2 ballerina tops. I was extremely proud of myself for this work I presented because I think my creative designing side shone through.

Then time for the grand finale!! I re created the catwalk outfit that I made for the salvation army. I did this by using Design assyst. I paid close attention to detail and worked very hard and I even used the actual fabric pattern by scanning in the actual garment used. It is an exact likeness almost and I could not be happier with the way it turned out.

Overall CAD is definitely a programme that I will use in the future work I do, because I think it looks so much neater when you use CAD, it also looks professional. So this is all my CAD work in one post...phew!
