The very exciting first day of portfolio goodness!....The total marks for which are 100.
We were given the procedure and the contents of our portfolio and also decided on our respective themes.
the contents/procedure were as follows:
1. Introduction- Thought Process.
2. Mood board
3. Look board (not to be included in the final portfolio)
4. Main (3) and Secondary (5) colors.
5. Paper textures (2)
6. Paper prints (2)
7. Garment construction technique (1)
8. Fabric selection and developments (2)
9. Styling (30 pencil sketches)
10. Rendering of 10 best sketches
11. Flats
12. Complete mounting, including scanning of sketches in Photoshop and taking print outs of them.
We are also to give a 15 line write up on our inspiration and the whole story of the collection.
Acknowledgment would also have to be added.
The minimum number of pieces in the collection are to be 8 and maximum 12. This portfolio will be checked by the Jury which would include some Hamstech faculty members, the director, and also Neeta Lulla. It's only after the jury approves the collection that one can take part in the fashion show Calantha!.
Deciding the Theme - We were asked to make lists under various heads to give a clearer view of what we want as designers to achieve.
Some of the categories were 'what you always wanted to design', 'Any hobby other than painting' and 'various themes that interest us'. Accordingly we made a list and ma'am went through them and helped us pick the one best for our personality and potential. After which we took the shortlisted themes and gave a brief idea on the fabrics, colors, prints and outfits that we were inspired to design. Ma'am then made the final approval and we had our theme/inspiration decided.....
Have you selected any interesting theme you want to share? Anything you'd love to design?
A very nice effort syeda.

DeleteThe most confusing thing students find is making the mood board, because the specifications given by the teachers are very confusing. It's important to understand that it's called a 'mood board' for a reason, It doesnt matter what or how you post stuff on it, as long as it sets the mood to your collection and inspires you through out the designing process.
