TOPSHOP I chose some of the garments
from the Topshop website that
I thought best suited my
theme. The colours and
shapes are very Egyptian.
I am going to base my col-
lection on these two gar-
ments from Topshop. I will
use my own designs and
drawings and incorporate
them into my collection.
I chose Kathryn Elsen
because she uses
digital media to ma-
nipulate her designs
and create bolder col-
ours and shapes. I
have used the com-
puter to create some
of my own drawings
For this task I was asked to show how digital media is used to create fashion illus-
trations. I chose Topshop as the store i wanted to produce illustrations for. Then I
chose two items of clothing that I could base my designs on. I scanned my own
hand drawn designs in and changed the saturation and brightness. I then used
Pixlr to change the colour of my designs and shape. I used Pixlr to create my own
flat drawings which I found very difficult and they did not turn out the way I wanted
them to. For my final designs that I based on the skirt from Topshop, I drew my
own female bodies using a sketching tool on Pixlr. Then I used the picture I had of
the skirt and changed it to fit the models and experimented with various colours. I
enjoyed drawing my own female models but found it more difficult to draw flat
drawings using these tools. Pixlr is a useful program for creating illustrations as
there are many formats you can choose from and you can use an image to begin
with as a template. I did this with my flat drawings but I couldn ’ t use it effectively.
The illustrator I chose was Kathryn Elsen as she had effectively used photoshop to
change her original designs and used different methods to create a more finished
look.
