grasping onto humor.

Topic: Finding joy in creativity, finally.

So as my third year class has without attempt continued to remind me,

we are officially in our final visual studies week of our degree.

This means, never again will we submit lengthy storyboards, testing illustrations, finger piercing small scale drapery or anything art related for that matter at a specific and almost unachievable deadline.

Now that I have got that off my chest, this last week has been more than entertaining, allowing comedy to overrule the drama and tragedy.

Apart from being unusually cheery by the surreal atmosphere generated by the above mentioned fact, the irony this week lay in the content that we covered.

At the cost of repeating myself I have to just say that in the last art week of my varsity career I learnt by far the most with regards to stylization, rendering techniques and the beauty of simplicity as well as consistency.

It goes with out saying that at FEDISA you don't just play, so here is a little of the lot we have been doing...

Valuable Lesson 1:

A fashion figures face is important, but relatively simple in comparison to how its perceived.

At first I didn't believe it, at all!

But a ball point pen, some tipex, a couple of watercolor pencils and your lecturers guidance, and what do you know, its achievable after all!

Valuable Lesson 2:

Pro-markers.

Have you ever-they are amazing!

Not only are they the closest comparison to the benefits of CAD but they allow for so much freedom and development.

FunFact- Play around with a colourless blender. 

Valuable Lesson 3:

When you lacking in inspiration don't dry out trusted resources, design by music.

An enticing exercise we took for granted initially but by number 3 of our 6 designs we had almost all been converted.

Designing is about a place, a time and a mindset,

treasure that. 

Valuable Lesson 4:

Make a to-do-list.

You avoid procrastination, workload and they pretty fun when you a designer, you can write them anywhere, with or on anything and because of our industry,

we can!

My most valuable lesson this week,

don't wish these days away, we have held our breathe waiting for the last visual studies friday and now that its here, only when we exhaled did we actually enjoy it.

Ashhhhhhh

FOREVER and FASHION <3
