Dressing magazine figures

For the second day we created out own designs on magazine cut outs. We had to make the creations in 3D form so that they stood off the page. I really enjoyed this task as you could create whatever you want and make designs exaggerated and extravagant. We could also used the techniques that we had learnt making the small 3D structures.

For this idea I used the folding effects that I had used in the small models. For this model I created a bow for the hair that was over sized, a peplum folded belt for the trousers to enhance the waist and folded trousers. I used two colours that were contrasting, but also that fitted in with the image. I think this worked well the creations were broken up and balanced out on the page.

This was my favourite model outfit as this created an hourglass shape for the model. Also the random choice of magazine worked well together and the different lengths created volume and a ragged effect. This worked well with the shape and the model however to improve I could have covered the whole body.

This creation was inspired by Cruella Deville from 101 Dalmatians as the use of leopard print and the shape of the design. I used circular shapes to create this with rolling the paper to create a cylinder effect. I liked this creation however I realised that it wasn't realistic, although it was eye catching.

I created this by scrunching up newspaper and sticking it down on the model. This created a structures 8 shape on the model. I liked this design as there was lots of structure and texture to this image. To improve however I could have been more inventive with the shape of the outfit.
