DIGITAL DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

As my scarf designs are going to be digitally rather than hand printed, there's opportunity for experimentation with a range of colours and compositions though digital design. I have been keen to use my photography within my designs, but have felt that a digitally designed photographic print wouldn't be suited to my illustrative interior collection. Thus, I intend to use them in my scarf collection.  These designs are made of layers of photographs with drawings, using filters on photoshop to create translucent areas, revealing the image underneath. Rather than making two separate scarf designs out of these, I think they would work effectively on one scarf, manoeuvring on photoshop the different elements into different opposite corners, creating a multi directional square scarf.
Photographic elements are often used within garment. Erdem's S/S 2011 collection incorporates both photographic and hand painted layers of florals. The depth of colour and blurred distinction between which parts are photographic and which are drawing makes
