The natural style in the way that the silhouettes have been "cut out " has been mentioned on several occasions as a good quality in my design as it reflects the natural culture. I decided to use this for my further development as I have now removed all straight edges to give the print a more authentic look. I also think the idea of "brush stroking" the background will look effective upon the "bags for life" as it means that the screen prints will not just look like square iron-on transfers and has an air of quality about it.
My initial idea was to have just the image on one side of the bag and the text on the other reading something along the lines of " Uganda Humanist Trust : Fashion Show 2011 " but due to lack of resources and time means that it would be better to incorporate text into the image as that means that my one design would work for both prints and the bag. Understandably, that idea was discarded almost immediately. But. It had given me a heading. So I then worked upon putting text upon my designs.
As you can see the free African style font that was downloaded and inputted looked cheap and not very professional so I began to seek out new typography and text. So far I have come up with this.
Yes. I know that "Uganda Humanist Trust" isn't very original or particularly exciting but I think it works well. The bright and vibrant solid blocks of colour within the designs make them eye-catching and more positive.The childish handwriting is more relevant as the charity is for the orphaned children.
Another idea which was raised today was that the prints that we will be doing shall be done onto recycled materials e.g. newspapers so that they are all individual and unique and there will not be another one like it in the world.
Not long now...only 3 weeks away until the event unfolds!
