Visualising and displaying secondary research

Initial plan and sketches outlining key concepts, design features and details I wanted to integrate and reflect in my work. Enabling my work to link back to key themes and concepts within my project surrounding the climate crisis, sustainability, the fashion industries effect on the world around us and in particular fast fashion(many from my initial research using 'True Cost' documentary). 

A few possible layouts I created displaying my individual, interchangeable and customisable pieces. This element of customising and being able to interchange and personalise the layout of my work could link back to how some people in society can detach themselves and almost block out the ever increasing and deteriorating climate crisis, almost like the layering and opacities have created through the layering of tracing paper here too. Alternatively, this lack of transparency created using the tracing papers opacities could also link back to how, if the situation with the current climate crisis continues, how we as a society will struggle to predict and envisage what the reality and consequences of our actions may look like in following years.

 

Close-ups displaying the layering, textural details (created using a variety of dry brush techniques) and opacities I could now look to take inspiration from and use in future project work and designs. Overall, this piece of work has really allowed me to visualise, display and present some of my key secondary research. Something I was previously struggling to display in a more visual, creative manner, rather than in a much more wordy research essay. Therefore, this method of using typography, orientation, collage and opacities will be one I look to source inspiration and develop future concepts and ideas from.
