Here I interpreted fashion into a demonstration of the basic skills of being an art student. I used vogue models to intertwine pattern designing skills into pen techniques.

With these outcomes they don’t include King Charles but I made those to show the way I would interpret Jamie Reid’s art without using a public figure’s face with influence as a target.

On the red outcome I had drawn Vivienne Westwoods logo along with a cut out of my Lino of the Crown Jewels.
I drew a simplified version of the Crown Jewels into a Vivienne style but instead of using any jewels as decoration I put 6 on all three spikes.
I did this to make a subtle hint that the current crown is owned by the devil which is why in my text I wrote “the frown” and “the clown”.

Overall I am pleased with these outcomes as I have included fashion into a Jamie Reid style collage that shadows some government secrets.

Here I wanted to try a different technique. I scrunched up an A3 print of King Charles and then used yellow paint to brush along the peaks of the folds. When I attempted this last year I found it quite successful however, this time I used a photo for a background instead of a block colour. This meant that my outcome for Jamie Reid feels over crowded.

I chose to print on-top of the Kings face as while Vivienne Westwood is fond of him I believe that Vivienne hold rightful air to the crown which is what I’m trying to convey in my piece.

I printed blue, red and yellow into his head as I wanted to represent the crown glitching and the system knows it dose not belong to him. This is also why I lined his face with green.

Lining his face with green is my subtle link to the lizard conspiracy where people with strong influence and powerful aren’t actually humans. Instead they are lizard people here to control our planet.

Overall I am displeased with this outcome as I had completely overcrowded it with yellow and it is an eyesore to the viewer.

I decided to create a page that lightly researches three different artist and their involvement with my work. I found them quite an inspiration as they all work against society’s standards of what’s expected. Each artist shows a rebellion against Englands system which links back to punk as that is what they specifically fight against.

I chose to do a very brief mention of 10 Foot at the end as he now has involvement with the fashion industry which again links back to my work. Im also inspired by his consistent work ethic, despite being jailed for four years he continued to vandalise difficult to reach areas. There isn’t a town I’ve been to where he hasn’t been.

I decided to do a photoshoot inspired by punk culture. When doing Ual: Insights during our lunch break I headed off to the graphics department where some of the students were pressing badges. I had cut out photos from a Vogue magazine and given them to the students. I had cut out a photo of Vivienne Westwood and Prada label along with other fashion based prints. These badges ended up being perfect for this photo shoot, I pinned them across my belt loop from my leather jacket and wore it as an accessory. This links back to being a punk as D.I.Y is a big part of their culture and making those badges fits. This was also financially positive as the badge making was completely free.

Following with the badge making I decided to paint and old body suit of mine from last Halloween. I used black acrylic paint that I had received from my college pack and a square end paint brush. I chose a square end paint brush as I felt that it best painted the x’s drawn all over it. This again links back to punk as it demonstrates the D.I.Y culture.

When it came to the photography I decided to get quite a few shots of me throwing objects around. I did this because after researching punk culture and Vivienne Westwood I realised that punks themselves aren’t necessarily angry but they are angry at society and the governments system. So I decided to represent this anger with movement, body language and facial expressions.

Here I formulated a collage type mood board that expresses only a few of Britain’s cultural fundamentals. I missed out a rich tea and a fish and chips but sadly by that point I felt as though adding any more would have been far too much. I wanted to try and include all of Britain’s iconic traits. Looking back I also missed out the country side and a classic pub. However, every Brit will notice that the breakfast is made by none other than Wetherspoons, a sticky carpet and tables classic of a pub.

Adding the Fosters was a slight question as it is in fact an Australian brand. However, its brewed and packaged in the UK so I thought it would be okay.

Making this piece was financially positive as it spared me no expense. It was just a matter of using a small portion of my credit to print it off.

Here I made a collage page from a collection of photos that I took at the Tate Britain. We went to Sarah Lucas exhibition. I throughly enjoyed my visit here. Sarah Lucas is a very sexual artist and when asking my class mate for her opinion she said it made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Personally I felt more comfortable I like how she expresses the fundamentals of being a human in her work. She also uses cigarettes in her work to symbolise health.

After my open day at Chelsea University of Art I went to visit the bomb shelters of Winston Churchill. Here I found out that Winston was actually an amazing artist. He used oil paints and he mainly painted his surroundings while travelling the world in his spare time. Winston was an amazing man with many talents. He fought Britain through the Second World War and is greatly loved by many. He lived in an underground bunker with his wife Clementine along with his parliament members.

Before sewing anything major I needed to get some practice in. While at home I used my left over bag material to practice my line work and finishing skills. I had to make sure to back stitch when finishing to ensure that the thread wouldn’t come apart. Doing this strengthens the joined fabric.

I also had to practice using the school machine, this was a whole different ball game to my one at home. The industrial machines start off with a back stitch and when you want to end you have to release some pressure on the pedal and it will do the final back stitch for you.

This was definitely a learning curve for me and I definitely gained some skill using both types of machines. I will continue to use this knowledge throughout my future careers.

When on my UCAS fair trip I collected plenty of hand outs and booklets that promote their universities. During this trip I spoke to one woman from Newcastle University and she threw loads of questions at me. I told her that I love drawing and designing. She then told me that she thinks I would be perfect on a pattern making course at her University. However, after viewing some universities I realised that this course wasn’t for me.

This trip was extremely helpful as it helped me discover what type of courses would suit me, my work ethic and style. The cost of this trip was included in my initial pay to do the second year so while it felt free at the time it still came out I of my own pocket but I assume that this trip was financially positive.

With my collage outcome portion I tried to pick out certain colours and shades that would flow with the rest of the piece. For instance, I picked out bold yellows that flowed with pieces that use it as a tonal colour instead of a statement. “Doctor Homemaker” has hints of yellow strokes across it that ties in with the person with the purple coats hair that then ties into the man with the balaclava.

I decided to print my Lino onto spare bits of card to practice my printing technique. I felt that doing this was important as I figured out the right amount of paint needed to make an even print.

As an outcome for Tank Girl I decided to rip out some models from a vogue magazine and sketch some outfits inspired by her look. I did this to better understand punk fashion.
I used alcohol markers because they aren’t completely opaque meaning you can still see the original print underneath.
I used very rough and scruffy lines to give off that hot mess look that a lot of female punks have. I also felt that these rough lines well presented Tank Girl as a whole. Jamie Hewlett depicts her as a non caring expressive character and I think my outcome well present that.

This specific outcome is based on Vivienne Westwood and one of her most iconic looks. When you type her name up this look is guaranteed to come up.
One thing I gained from this design was definitely the lettering, I hadn’t ever thought of drawing letters in such a ragged way I'm so used to straight or curvy lines. I will definitely be using this font in my future designs.
The pens I used came from amazon for £20 and I will continue to use them until they die. This purchase has been a financial plus as I received so many in my pack.
