Unit X Project - Week Three

I've spent some time honing together all of my ideas, to produce a range of photoshop designs. Although using Photoshop produces a very 2-dimensional representation of the design, I find it extremely helpful to piece together different concepts, and very often it will inspire me for further development. 

I've enjoyed exploring the composition of the designs and the layout of everything I want to include in my final pieces. 

I feel that this week has been a real breakthrough for me to properly envisage how my designs will turn out. Of course, at this point in a project it is impossible to know exactly, however I am confident with where my collection is going. 

I have spent more time further experimenting with how I want my textured yarn to look; I've tried incorporating neon embroidery thread into a few samples and although this is something I no longer want to follow through, it has given me the inspiration to include the metallic and atomic yellow, elements from the current trends, in my final yarn. I believe this will give me the eye-catching outcome which I have hoped for all along. 

I've found a strong link between my textured yarn designs and the work of Etta Sandry's 'Party Fabric' - this has inspired me to incorporate more unusual textures in my yarn, to add an interesting dimension to my fabric. Wire? Plastic? Ribbon?
