Fashion Loves Art

For these experiments I used a verity of mixed Medias to create the phrase ‘Fashion Loves Art’. For the first piece I used a dark green ink to create a simple typography, I chose the dark green because many of the colours that were seen in clothing in the 1940’s were dark blues, and greens. The second piece was created by using a scalpel to cut the letters individually out from black and white photographs, from one of my photo-shoots. The last pieces were created by using a pair of skin tone tights to fold and shape into the different letters. This proved to qite a difficult task as you can see the edge of the table in the black and white version. I then proceeded to crop the edge of the table from the photo, but this made each of the letters a different size. If I were to this again I would use Photoshop to make each of the letters the same size.

Fashion

To create the word Fashion from creative mixed media typography we used found objects relating to fashion. Each of the letters was created using a different object or series of objects. This required a lot of thought and planning to execute to a high standard. We each decided on a letter and thought of possible outcomes to use on our piece. We started with the letter ‘O’. Each member of the group had a different idea for how to represent the letter and after trying each possibility we decided on a ring. We then moved on to the letter ‘S’. We wanted to relate this directly to fashion so using a scarf we created the shape of the letter. We photographed this from an aerial perspective to capture the whole image.  Next we formed the letter ‘A’, for this we used three pairs of glasses, two of these pairs had thick black frames that are easily seen and gave us a large easy to read letter. This was photographed from an aerial perspective to capture the whole image. Moving on to the letter ‘I’, we simply used one of the light fittings from the C17. This was photographed from lying on the floor, in order to capture the entire light. We feel like these are the most interesting compositions on our piece because these were the letters that required much thought to be both legible and creative.
