Fashion and Styling- Inspiring looks
Moodboard of inspiration ideas
Music
inspired us, we looked at a number of artists that
resembled the urban
image, such as
Rihanna
and Kanye West and also
looked at their
collections
We
were looking at the clothing brands that these particular artists
wear, designers such as Trapstar, KTZ, Dopechef, and Balmain.
We began picking out key pieces these artists have been currently wearing this season which is leather, black and tartan, which was consistent throughout their image, and this inspired our dominant trend to also be leather, black and tartan.
We decided to keep the clothing simple and stylish with a little edge.

Creatin a product out of tissue- part2
My second idea focused on the function of tissue. I came up with this idea to research as well as asking a number of people how and why the use tissue. A key problem that I acknowledge was the difficulties that driver face while driving. As a person that drive, I find it hard to get myself a tissue whilst concern testing on the road. From that I came up with the concept of creating a tissue dispenser for a car. As I began to research the different tissue dispenser all ready out there. I realised that my idea had been all ready created. However as I looked further into it I came to the conclusion that those that were all ready created could be dramatically improved. As I found that drivers that had used these existing products, still found it difficult to get tissue whilst trying to concentrate on the road. The key problem these existing products faced is that the position they were placed where inconvenient for drivers. For example, some were made to be placed onto the sun visor, having here could be distracting and a obstruction for the driver. So I came up with the idea of creating a tissue dispenser that could be transferable product, that could be moved into any position within a car that any driver felt comfortable using it, with out feel at risk of loosing control of the car. One of which was on the car door, as week as near the steering wheel so it easy to reach.
Creating a function for tissue
The two main ideas that I narrowed it down to was creating tissue into a object as well as giving the tissue a function. So I created a cushion made out of tissue. I then came to the conclusion that I needed to adapt my idea further as it needed to be a suitable product that could be used in the real world. I realised that a cushion made out of tissue was not suitable for a household as it would easily break. Therefor I had to research a number of soft materials, such as wool and cotton. As I developed my cushion I shortly realised that my idea is a common product that is frequently used around the world. I decided to think about my object and how I could adapt it into making it unique. So I went back and looked at my notes about why/how people use tissue in their everyday life. From that I realised that the main use of tissue was for absorbing liquid. For example whipping spillages as well as blowing your nose. So I can up with a concept which gave me the idea of converting my cushion into a cushion tissue dispenser. The idea behind came from I scenario I put together. A sick individual some who has a bad flu, who can't leave bed or the sofa. Their nose may run frequently, however they find it a hassle to keep getting out of bed/sofa to look for tissue. Therefor having a cushion tissue dispenser would make their life easier. So they no longer need 2 leave their bed/sofa to find tissue. They can just pull one out of their cushion.
Creating a product from/inspired by tissue
For this project I was given tissue as a object, from that I had to come up with a use for it or a object formed from it. I found this particularly challenging as I found it hard to come up with ideas to transform the tissue into a product. I started by sketch the tissue as well as creating different shapes from the tissue, such as twisting it and scrunching it up. I then began to research the uses of tissue, through both books and Google. I then decided to ask a number of people what they used tissue for. From that I came up with a number of ideas to how I could make tissue a useful product for people.
