Sketching


After looking at my research and various pictures for inspiration I concluded that in my design I want to incorporate the shape of a swan and black feathers.

To start with I decided to start with sketching some ideas of shapes so I started looking at various sketches and drawings of swans: 


From the pictures I looked at I created an abstract shape that looks like a swan and this was my first step :


Then I re did it neatly and ellabaroted it by trying to incorporate the effects of the black feathers for it to take shape.
This was my final sketch of the shape : 



In some way I would like to incorporate this kind of shape to represent the black swan in my design.

Design Concept

My choice for my concept design was fashion design as I got really inspired by the elegance of my chosen film the Black Swan. My first attempt was to brainstorm and look up different ideas and designs that in some way relate to what I will be focusing on.

I read through all my blog posts and highlighted some key words which I thought would help me with my design.

Various keywords to help me research :



These are some designs that I looked at for inspiration:
