Photo shop

To see what my full outfit would look like, I decided to make digital designs using photo shop. In order to do this, I used a pencil to draw out a couple of simple figures so that I would have a template to design on. I scanned the work in and opened them into photo shop and then filled the bodies in using the bucket tool. I then did the same thing to the clothes but found this part easier than the bodies. As I did the outline, I found that this was very complicated using a mouse and therefore would've been better using a graphics tablet. The outcome isn't too neat, but I found this really helped me develop my digital skills and outlook on my work. I found doing the detailed very hard as well as the designs were so intricate that they were tough to get accurate. I decided to do the designs in the style of normal fashion designs and American Apparel adverts to see the comparison between expected models and controversial. I am using the American Apparel positions to question the idea whether fashion is used to provide women freedom or are women used to sell fashion? I am really pleased with the outcome and even though I think I could've done better, I am happy I did the designs.
