Flesh Research

The Night Project- Evaluation

I am happy that I chose "The Circus" as my theme. I really enjoyed researching it and coming up with design ideas.

Cushions:
I think that my cushions came out really well and I really enjoyed making them. I think that the designs were good because I had two different designs and then two versions of the designs. I also decided to experiment with masking tape to create stripes on the cushions so that they would relate more to my research. I think that the wadding was the best material to use to stuff the cushions with. I also liked how some of the cushions were landscape and some of them were portrait. If I made the cushions again I would make bigger sizes so they are more like sofa cushions.

T-shirt:
I think my t-shirt turned out really well because I tried out the design on paper first to make sure I was happy with it. After I washed it there was still some blue showing around the design which I didn't like. Luckily I decided to hand wash it and it came out but it made part of the design at the bottom fade. Even though this happened I think that it fits in more with my circus ( The Circus of Nightmares) because it makes the design look more dream like.

Mugs:
I really liked how the mugs came out. I tried to do the exactly the same design on the mugs as the cushions and t-shirt but I found it quite difficult to get the contortionist drawing right. So instead I decided to draw some black and white circus tents on one mug. And I sketched out the letter "M" for the other mug in the same font that I would have used for the circus posters so that it would all tie in.

The Night Project- Finished Products

The Night Project- Designs

 

I designed some products based off my research of the circus.  I decided that I wanted the same or a similar design for each product. I found a drawing of a contortionist and another photo of black and white stripe circus tents. I liked these designs for my products because I think they fit really well with the circus theme.

The Night Project- Circus

In my group critique most people said that they really liked my circus research so I have chosen to do that for my theme. I have done some more research in my sketchbook for American Horror Story Season 4 Freak show. I have also done a bit more research on The Night Circus.

 Using my research I created my on mind map for my own circus ideas.

Pages From My Sketchbook

We also tried screen printing. I used black and dark green to try and resemble a night vision camera. I also tried to draw lions with the paint but it didn't work because when I spread the paint all the colours got mixed in.
