Designing A Garment From A Technical Drawing

Design is defined by Webster as “to create, fashion, execute, or construct according to plan; to conceive and plan out in the mind; to have as a purpose; to devise for a specific function or end; to conceive or execute a plan; or to draw, lay out, or prepare a design.”

As a child I enjoyed drawing several objects, and I felt that I had a rare gift to express life through art. I hope to reinvest my time back into my childhood hobby upon graduation later this year.

My personal journey of creativity has led me to find a career that I hope to love, and it has given me an outlet not many have that allows me to express myself in a unique way. Hard work and creativity have led me through life and hopefully will continue to as I grow

But in contemporary society, there is no single definition that covers design completely, or even fields of professional practice as graphic or industrial design that adequetly cover the diversity of ideas and practices as once existed.

Developed design skills by creating my own designs on my own time and creating/demonstrating knowledge in school projects.

My mind has always led me to make things starting with drawing at an early age. In first grade I made small “comic books” with lined pieces of paper and colored pencils for my dad. When I was in fourth grade I made a stop motion film with action figures, Windows Movie Maker, and my mom’s camera. When I was in fifth grade I begged my parents for my own camera so that I could capture all the fun on our vacation. When I was in seventh grade I made a short educational film to compete in the Pennsylvania Middle School Computer Fair and went on to compete at a regional level. And now that I am in high school I am constantly looking for new ways to express the ideas in my head.

First of all, over the past few years, I discovered that I love designing and creating my own projects and bringing them to life. For example, I enjoy fashion as a hobby, and I had designed several dresses in my freetime, getting inspiration from professionals in the field. The feeling I got after I held the finished version of the dress in my hands could only be described as magic. Nothing felt more beautiful to me than seeing something I imagined on paper being transformed little by little into

All of my adult life, yeah. Since I was about twenty. I'm a curious person by nature, and I'm a hands-on creative person. What makes me happiest in life is just creating. So whether it's portraiture--you know, I worked briefly doing animal portraits during my lean years. Writing, acting, painting, you know woodwork was just a natural hobby for me to take up. I love

I like to create my personal style and help others who cannot seem to wrap their heads around what to wear and how to wear it from fitted pieces to chic ensembles to satisfy their fashion taste buds. I am a creative and I remember in my teenage years I would draw and design outfits. What brought me to fashion was that I found out that the clothes people were wearing was practically the same and I don’t like wearing what every other person is wearing. I like being myself and this led me to explore with various fabric and styles for teenagers and ladies in their 20’s and with time I started making clothes for myself and now I make practically all my clothes by myself and I have helped to satisfy the taste buds of young ladies. So many things inspire me when it comes to styling and fashion; Nature inspires me, fabrics inspire me. I see a fabric and immediately in my subconscious mind, I am already thinking of what pattern or style to create with the fabric. I have inspired fellow twenty somethings with my personal style and fashion statement. I find clothing interesting and fun because it is used to express who I am.

There are many different artistic phases that I went through well creating my art piece. I started by becoming

studied various art mediums to explore creative talents. In my junior year, I decided to

Art. To me is something undefinable, what I want my art to show you is a piece of myself and a piece of yourself. Something we can all relate to; a memory, a song, a poem, art should make you feel something. Art is a gift, a tool we can use to hide beauty in ordinary places and things. I want to broaden my understanding of design and the world that art is beyond my knowledge and experiences. Because my love for creating burns so bright and deep within me, I am determined to find a career path that will allow me to explore the world of design and art every day. A number of art forms are endless and this seems like a daunting task to find just one path that can express the enjoyment and involvement I want to have with art. Throughout my life I have been endlessly drawing, painting, sculpting and creating--often times I feel almost cursed with such talent to create because the ability seems endless. I have taken a number of art classes exploring my passions as a High School Student and created many different types of works including oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings; etching, embossed, and screen printmaking; charcoal, graphite, and pastel drawings; Sculpting with ceramics and plaster as well as wheel pieces. I find that there is few mediums I have yet to experiment with. I have become accustomed to Acrylic paintings as I have recently started to create paintings and sell them to community members. I participated in a local art fair and it opened my eyes to what art

I enjoy making sketches of clothing that one day will hopefully be available in stores all over. Fashion designing in my opinion is a way to express the unique side of your creativity, also fashion designing is a career that I believe I can achieve in so highly if I stay focused and continue to putting forth effort in my creations.

Ever since I was five years old, I had wanted to be a dress-designer. I used to look at magazines such as Elle and Vogue in great awe. Most people clothes, I saw art and the passion of the designers poured onto the fabric. I started drawing my ideas for when I would grow up and have models wear the clothes I designed. One day I decided to show these designs to my parents. My mother was speechless and I assumed I had impressed her but my father frowned and forbade me from drawing clothes.

In my report I will be explaining the Design Elements and Principals of Design. The Design Elements I have used in my garment are: colour, texture, line. This contributed to my final design. I chose to include more than one design element because I didn’t want to focus on just one design element. The other design elements which I have not used are: value, shape I chose not to use these design elements as they did not fit with my design or were out of
