Final Print

 

I made these layers by using the laser cutting machine with white leather. I then used the circles that were cut out from the back and stitched them on to the front. On the front, I also used embroidery technique with different coloured cotton for another layer.  One of my favourite layers was the laser cutting as the laser is so precise and the end results look great. I liked the fact I could also use the left over leather circles to add to the front. On the back when the laser was cutting out the shapes, it left burnt marks around the edges, I decided to keep it like that because it has a better effect and is better suited to my style dress.

This I s my final print which I have created to be sent off and printed on 3 metres of fabric. I absolutely love the design and I can’t wait to see what it looks like in a couple of weeks on material!

To create this I used Adobe Photoshop and chose some of my favourite post card designs that I had made in class or on Photoshop. I first copied one four times and reflected them so they all joined in the middle. I then added more layers by cutting parts out from each postcard that I liked. Through this process I changed their effects with the hue/saturation, brightness and contrast, effects gallery and the opacity until I had a design that I liked.

I found the more layers I added the more interesting my design looked. I think it meets the ‘under the microscope’ brief as I think the print looks like liquid cells and it looks like it has a texture to it. I don’t think I would of changed anything to the print because I happy with it but if I was to develop it even further I would add more layers to see the other designs I could create.

I’m looking forward to starting my dress pattern with the material to see what the finished garment looks like!
