As we proceed further we were asked to do Rorschach. One of the most fun exercises but what actually we were to do was to generate silhouttes out of these rorschachs placing it once, twice, mirroring it, what so ever possible. All my rorschachs were really different from one another in terms of their contour hence i could get a few understanding out of the same. Two of my rorschachs were hardly joined in the centre which created a lot of issues while placing it on the croqui as it was not possible to follow natural lines of the body with that shape. The one well connected in the centre did a pretty amazing work. Another observation was that it was really difficult to use one single rorschach as a whole for the body beacuse it was not in proportion to the body. Also the rorschachs were easily placed on the widest parts of the body first.

The thing I liked the most about this assignment is that I could actually see how those lines would look on a person rather than on a flat surface like a paper.

Dot is considered to be the most important Element of Design.This was the first element that we studied in which developing patterns was the final outcome.The patterns were to be made by collecting different items representing dots. The learning behind this exercise was to learn the Principle of design - Repetition and developing Patterns via using those elements and principles.

another one with lines. In this one inspite of dots we were to place lines (elements) on the dress forms in different positions so as to maintain balance and proportion (principles) of the dress forms and the garment silhouttes generated. Here too it was easier to work with two lines at the same time to achieve the principles than it was to work with just one.

Can you see some dots on the dress forms?? Well in this exercise we were to place Dots (elements) on the dress forms at different places in a manner so as to maintain proportion and balance (Principles) in the garment silhouttes generated. While doing it with two dots it was easier than with one dot because its easy to maintain balance then.

The one i Loved was RADIAL BALANCE as were to take any motif (i took my rorschachs) and replicate it in a manner that it creates a pattern which when divided in half from any side looks the same just like a PIZZA or a Circle. Hence the patterns were flipped, mirrored, rotated etc to get the desired look of the Radial Patterns. I found it really interesting and easy to do and also observed that while we create a radial pattern we get another pattern or a motif out of the same .

Inspired by the Work of famous fashion designer Issey Miyake , We tried to replicate the 2D Tangram silhouttes in a 3D form i.e we tried to make a wearable out of the silhouttes we created using the tangrams. It was an interesting task to do but no doubt that initially it seemed so diificult to create silhouttes just by placing tangrams on the croquis the more times difficult it was to create a 3D wearable out of it. As we already had inputs on the human body proportions from our illustrations class and body measurements from our GC class, we tried to incorporate our understanding of the same and approximately tried to calculate the size of each side of the shapes of tangrams. Though we tried our best to incorporate even the minutest details still some difference was there and according to me that could be because earlier we simply placed tangrams on flat sketches of the croquis while this time it was a human figure which is not flat alltogether and includes areas with bulges and curves.
