Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, I took inspiration by Artist Sonia Delaunay, She celebrated the modern world of movement technology and urban life, exploring new ideas about colour theory together with her husband Robert Delaunay, her vibrant artistic practice across a wide range of media. It features the groundbreaking paintings, textiles and clothes she made across a sixty-year career, as well as the result of her innovative collaborations with poets, choreographers and manufacturers, from Diaghilev to Liberty.

These freehand embroidery I like the texture of lines, shapes it creates also a drawing I did of my threads  by lying them down and creating an image and I drew the image  I focused on shape and added stitch to my drawing to see what effect this created. I like this experiment because I like the colours and I believe it could be improved even further on Photoshop and would look good on a garment.

At the moment, only a few communities have textile recycling programs. This means that about 80 percent of textile waste goes to landfills, where it occupies about 5 percent of the space. Since 95 percent of post- consumer textiles are in fact recyclable, there should be enough reason to take measures in this direction, but before even reaching the end of a garment,s useful life, there are other methods that can help the industry become more sustainable. Sustainability can not start at the end of garment,s life cycle but must be approached at every step of the design process. The best eco-friendly and sustainable fashion brands pursue this goal from the very beginning.

Sustainable is a part of the growing design and trend of sustainability, the idea is within to create a system which can be supported on the environment and social responsibility. Sustainable is a word that associate with our environment waste and recycling, water consumption and climate change, chemical usage and animal welfare. My personal view on sustainable is that taking care of community as well as the environment. It means safety and having responsibility. It means quality, and equality. When the garment is completely worn out, it should be returned to a collection, point for recycling of the textile material , which is later be reused in the manufacturing of new clothes or other textile products.  

I chose this building to draw life drawing that I analysed because I thought this  was really well designed and iconic in the city, which it is found in and designers did really well to design something original and eye catching. So I focused on building  that has a large amount of people using it, I was fascinated by seeing how human interaction can influence the design of buildings. 

My development design is based on architecture. I have chosen samples from my drawings of building in Manchester. The purpose of this pictures was to produce a garment, a design for the fashion show with a high quality of work and it has to have a strong as this will be going in the fashion show so it has to be done in professional level. I looked at the history of Manchester buildings to start my brief off. My idea is to produce a garment for the fashion show is to make a unique shape of garment using a fabric and use old and new buildings and lesser cutting with bright colours taken from the artist Marc Alta,s work. My aim focus will be to experiment on different techniques and to have a clear story throughout my progression on my sketchbook and on my final garment.

The aim of this concept is to explore the impacts of architecture on humans, their feelings and behaviour, and to formulate recommendations for the planning and design of buildings. This research area poses question about the effect of outdoor and indoor spaces on people in cognitive, emotional and social term. How can homes, offices and buildings in general be designed and structured. So that they reduce stress or promote well being.

The bees in Manchester are a celebration of the city I live. The themes are varied  and they all have something they want to say and as a collective they have left a positive impression on the people of Manchester and visitors over the last summer. Using my research from the summer project  from the trail around Manchester. I explored a range of techniques and processes the explore visual language. I also showed that I understand how other art design practioners communicate messages and meaning in their work.

This work is about climate change, I am try to say through my work about causes of climate change what the negative effects, how people deal with them or how climate change affects people and animals and plants. I made this artwork because I think people should learn more about climate change and how badly its affecting humans and animals. Climate change is all around the world and will possibly cause some major problems for us someday.

In this picture I want to show many problems that affect the environment. This picture shows a problem.I want to show a problem that affects the environment, which is pollution.It is a problem, because pollution affects animals and where they live. For example, it affects the polar bears because the ice is melting

My this design development is inspired by sculpture. My design development is with selected shape from my drawings journey of refining ideas to a sophisticated level when presenting work. As  I went through the design cycle, I was ensured the body of work. I am producing has a purpose and something to say. The exploration of techniques enabled me to produce more than 60 designs to enhance my final outcome. I had the opportunity to develop this project in which every direction.  

This is the illustration board. I tried to show improvement by doing more experimentations and hard work. For me it is the best illustration board which is communicating all the actual meaning and concept behind this personal journey, them. This board is the summery of my personal journey This board has the best of my research , developments and experiments, which I have done throughout this period. I created female robot 9 heads figure and drew them with hand. I put all my knowledge which I knew and which I learned  during this timeline in my work. I included the best work by making them brush prests. I tried to connect everything my thoughts, ideas, beliefs, together creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected.

I want my photograph to look aesthetically old, dipping the viewers eyes, mind and imagination into my life. The photograph that had begun gathering dust are now out in the open becoming influential in my design. Furthermore I made my dress design more personal by handwriting my thoughts and feelings, reminiscing about old memories and forgotten photograph hold. I wrote some words in my dress design to make a connection to my place of birth.   

                  A design development  board is used to demonstrate my personal journey, from research stage through to the final idea. This board is the progress of my print illusions which led me to the improvements and enhanced my developing skills. I concluded the most inspirational images, drawings, photographs, experimentations, etc, to corroborate. Farida khalo and Joanne Thompson  are the artists which influenced my developments and experiments. My continuous drawings are the main elements in my developments. These drawings were intensifying collaged, layered, to make essential portions in my print design. I have done like usage of different photoshop tools or different materials like chalk, Fine linear, paint, ink, etc. It is the coverage of all the processes steps taken for final digital surface pattern. I am satisfied with this layout and this consequence.
