Adding an Extra Something







Following my tutorial with Julie, I realised that some of the samples that I was putting together were starting to look a little flat. This was because there were no highlights of colour in them to bring out the detail. I therefore decided to add a colour to them that I had visited in some early drawings but had then dropped from the colour palette, FLUORESCENT ORANGE. This colour gives an extra pop in the visuals of the samples and adds more interest to them. I have added the colour by using fluorescent orange thread to sew into my samples and also painting the edges of my laser cut perspex pieces to allow them to stand out more from the base fabric. (I didn't just use fluorescent orange perspex as I didn't want the pieces to affect the base fabric colour).
As a result of this I think that my samples are visually a lot more exciting.
