Stage 01: Selection
Assignment 01.02 – Visual mapping

Continue to observe your Fashion Brand. After our previous class discussion and pin-up, you should have more and critical insights.
It is time now to choose your favorite item between all the products of your Fashion Brand.
It could be a dress, a shirt, a skirt, pants, or an accessory as bag, shoe, belt, but it must be involved with a fabric/textile motive and with surface texture.
We are approaching the field of operativity of ornament, as surface/skin in relationship with a structure/body.

Operations of visual mapping that are applied on your selected series of digital images will affect and increase your capability of “seeing”.

On 2 cheap-board bases 11x17”, vertical orientation, compose ‘visual diagrams” and apply selective operations on your object.
Particularly, you should map lines and points on one base; edges and boundaries of your item on the second base.
Apply the following manipulations: cutting, layering, overlapping, folding, and bending.

Work with paper, cheap-board, prints, images, and digital or freehand drawings in color.
Add selected B/W parts related to your diagrams.
The resulting diagrams should have a 3D graphical and physical result.
