Hounds tooth

My take on the URBAN LANDSCAPE

I think i will take my project down the route of found pattern and gathered sources.

I found that whilst thinking about the subject i struggled to get to grips with what i needed to look at, the best way for me to gather information and a broad array of imagery was to get out on the streets with my camera and snap snap snap away.

Possible ideas to focus on...

• Structure
• Layout
• Pattern
• Layers
• Repeats
• Order

The idea of finding pattern/shape around the city centre.

I found scaffolding a particularly interesting subject matter to start my research on. Looking into the different areas of the scaffolding, the different layers that show, i am going to try and incorporate this theme into my work. The small shapes and geometric pattern is very inkeeping with the clothing already created by Dashing Tweeds.

The image to the right was taken by a sheer strike of luck, originally taken to look at the reflection of the light i found the scaffolding itself to hold a wealth of excitement.

Triangular shapes, solid lines.

Menswear collections 2012-2013

Looking at a selection of menswear designs that have made it to the catwalk for winter 2013. It seems bold checks, bright vivid colours and extreme patterns are all in at the moment, Maybe something like this could work well for my swatches, or maybe the palette for warp and weft should be kept simple. Bringing in vivid flashes with the odd yarn selection.

Look into pattern and structure.
