Unfortunately due to being ill, I haven't had much input from others on my course or my tutors for a couple of weeks, so I was hoping this week's group crit would help me further my ideas - and it did! Luckily my idea overall sounded like a good one and I had many suggestions of how I could make it even better. It was suggested that I experiment with actual clothing to design the bags to really keep the link of laundry with the designs, and it would make it more visually interesting for my student audience. I really liked this idea and went out straight away to buy cheap bags to practise on, mini socks and t-shirts to play around with and sew up to make purses, and pillow cases to drawstring up for the bed linen bag, but unfortunately couldnt find pants big enough to act as the laundry bags themselves. I may keep looking! With less than 2 weeks to go from the crit, I came up with 5 actions to organise my time and work out what I need to do.
Action Plan
1. Work out a chosen humorous message for each bag.
2. Find/ design a fun style type, appropriate to subject and audience.
3. Sew clothing and practise with mock up designs - get feedback to see if they're successful.
4. Screen print if print rooms available. If not, transfer designs onto chosen bags using fabric pens and paint to create the same effect.
5. Do final prints and sewing and document on blog.
