The Fall semester started and I am very excited about the class I am enrolled in: Graphic Design for Fashion. I am learning about the history of graphic design and its various elements, such as space, color, proportion, and rhythm. The skills I will learn will feed directly into my fashion design work and portfolio.
So, here is my work ...
The first composition is a study of how to express the concept of "Becoming Free" through a composition in black and white only. The women in the bottom left corner is sad and tight - her mind is not free. The lines over her body and head emphasize the feeling of being 'locked' in one's mind. Then, as your eye moves to the right, you see a break through the space and a butterfly whose front is actually a woman with her arms stretched out.

The second example, called "New Beginnings," comprises of images I took in Lisbon earlier in the summer. I repeatedly used the same photo but shifted the patterns so the eye goes from left top to right bottom and sees a person stepping through a door. The idea is to show that we all carry rich stories - they are vibrant, layered, and complex, and therefore allow for a new start.
Let me know what you think! Do you see my ideas in the compositions?
