Portfolio
By Emma Brown
This is my doodle board for the design brief ‘Illustrated people’ that expresses my personality through text and visuals. I have repeated the pattern to show uses of different scales and to
express my enjoyment and interests in specific aspects of my personality. I have used the media of water colour and fineliner for this piece of work. The text featured are famous quotes from
fashion icons and quotes that relate to my character.
These are my design ideas were inspired by the assignment, ‘Childs Play’, in which we were required to develop a garment based on an
element of our childhood. I focused on the theme of clowns, concentrating on the structure, colours and shaping of the pieces.

The digital drawing on the
left was influenced by my
design brief ‘Illustrated
People’. This was an observational image gleaned
from my research into street style in Liverpool City Centre. I focused on showing the details of the
clothing and how there was a
commonality in all three friends
appearance.
This digital drawing on the right focused on
linking the digital drawing effect to the
grungy style of the girl. I did
this by not touching the
black lines with colour and creating a
‘messy’ effect.

These are my design ideas inspired by the brief ‘Illustrated People’. I collaged newspaper to create a range of hair styles and
used fine liner to produce clean, professional and detailed drawings of the designs. I intentionally left the illustrations devoid of colour/texture as the fabrics were to be given by the
construction tutor.
This is the working sketch of my final design idea for my brief ‘Illustrated People’. I produced this design using Adobe
Illustrator and drew both the front and back of each garment as well as all the top stitching.

This is my designer research for my brief ‘My Collection’. I researched into a range of designers and presented it creatively on an A1 sheet of paper. I used the techniques illustration and collage
to bring excitement to the research. I also enlarged the fashion designers logos using fineliner.
This is my influence board for my design brief ‘My Collection’. I wanted to create a range of boards that had a clip board look to them. To do this used masking tap on the corner of the images, as well as board pins. I also collaged key words onto the board that represented my inspiration.
This is my mood and concept board for my brief ‘My Collection’. I
printed out my research onto photo paper as well as normal white
paper. I wanted to create a clipboard effect like my influence
board, so I incorporated masking tap and board pins.
This is my texture and colour board for the design brief ‘My
Collection’. This board represents the colour pallets I
will use for my collection, that consist of; grey, black,
red and white. The photographs I have used on this board show the fabrics, movement and feel
that I wish to feature.
This is my target market board for the design brief
‘My Collection’. I have included
photographs of locations,
interest, a character , and
accessories that represent the
market I am aiming my final
collection at. I have also featured
key words that relate to the target market
character I have created.
This is my photoshoot for the brief ‘My Collection’. I used different effects on the photographs such as; overlaying, black and white and diffuse on Adobe Photoshop. These
effects emphasized my theme ‘A Splendid Chap’
This piece of work is my fabric prints of my primary(photoshoot) and secondary research for the brief ‘My Collection’. I have enlarged the models head from my photoshoot and illustrated them onto the fabric using a
domestic sewing machine.
These are some of my design developments for ‘My Collection’ I have developed four outfits four times doing small adaptations each time.
I have focused on tailoring, masculinity, structure and the influence of teddy boys.
Here I have created tow fashion illustrations for i-D magazine. I have used the media of computer
aided design, fineliner and collage to produce the
illustrations. I researched into fashion illustrations featured
within i-D magazine and used that inspiration to create youthful,
cultural and unique illustrations. I have focused on emotion for the left hand side
illustration, focusing on confusion about androgyny linking to my theme ‘A Splendid Chap’.
The right hand side illustration features i-D’s signature eye
covering.
I have produced two fashion illustration
inspired by Love magazine. I created quirky youthful
illustrations that represented the magazine
and the illustrations that are featured within it. I used the media of collage
and fineliner. I used these illustrations to
present the clothing within my range plan.
These are two fashion illustrations that I have produced for Vogue magazine. I used the media of fineliner and
watercolour to produce illustrations that present clothing from my range plan. I created fashion illustrations that
look more feminine and human like than the ones for Love and i-D magazine. I used the media of watercolour after
researching into fashion illustrations featured in Vogue and noticing that a wide range of illustrations within the
magazine featured this media.
This is my final line-up for my collection ‘A Splendid Chap’ inspired by gentlemen's dress and androgyny. I have included my colour pallet, technical drawings and design ideas. I used the software Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to produce this piece, as well as fineliner as I
scanned in my design ideas.
