Colour and Fashion

All designers need to be aware of what colors are 'in' at the moment or will be in in the near future. Check out this great site that gives the CMYK for popular colors in fashion. Look at the Spring 2008 colours and post a comment here on which is your favorite pantone colour in the spring collection.

Then, browse through the site and get a feeling for what web and print designers consider when they are working with the world of fashion. Create a post on you blog that describes what you think are the main elements that designers must consider when designing for the fashion industry.

Post your Chess Piece

To complete our drawing assignment, you need to photograph and post your chess piece drawing on your blog. With the image, you must write a paragraph about how you used line and value in your drawing. Describe how you created movement, if you created rhythm or pattern, how you contrasted light and dark values, or anything else you wish to express. This will be marked as an artist statement for your drawing assignment. Have fun!
