With lighting in mind in this GIF I really wanted to create a structure that would be held on the ceiling so when the light shines through the structure gives a shadow that is appealing, intriguing and unique. The bone structure of the leaf generates geometric shapes thus, enhancing the overall theme of the fashion show. Just looking at the shadow it looks cold and sinister which is the theme I am going for. Furthermore, having the structure hanging from the ceiling influences the audience to look upwards which develops depth of space and height.

My final GIF signifies illumination and radiance. I wanted to create something that was not to bright and that would glow. The colour green is an important element of my fashion show as it reinforces being green and being sustainable. To create the neon green effect was pure accident and I was amazed at how the cellophane can really enhance the cucumber. So, to make this GIF I simply shaved a cucumber into very fine strips so that it is translucent. Then I placed green cellophane on the light and simply allowed the cucumber to fall organically onto the light. 

This GIF representing the curtain partition that is to be used in my fashion show however, this time I needled the banana skin through wire which created less transparency and more movement. It created a close group of banana skin and this could be an interesting concept where this placed on my stage where models can walk through. This could give an element of surprise, create movement and a feel that is tense. This is a unique material and it is extremely flexible on how it can be used, I found that the banana skin is quite thick and stable nevertheless, for a fashion show it would needed to be painted to black out the decay.  .  

Weightlessness, floating, and drifting are the elements I accomplished in my final GIF. The day was extremely windy which provided movement to the scrunched-up book paper. I love how lighting provides shadows and brightness complimenting the overall GIF. It was important that there was movement in this GIF as it shows that the book paper is dancing. It was an interesting idea and I feel if people were to look at this GIF they would wonder why there are ripped pages hanging on the line.

This is my final GIF with the mandarin segments, and it was a success. I laid the fruit segments out in a row, spray painted them black to reference Melbourne graffiti as I did with the banana, grouped them together and placed nails in as a stabilizer. The nails were there for practical reasons nevertheless, they have illustrated an interesting look and design signifying industrial.

As a material, grape skin is translucent, fragile, and delicate and by placing them together you get a soft, light material. The idea is when this material is used for a chair design, when an audience member sits on the chair, they will not be able to help but brush the hands across the material. I would hope the material gives a tingly sensation thus, enhancing their excitement for the fashion show. I would hope the chair design would have lights in them to illuminate the seating giving it a glow as the fashion show is held at nighttime and is very dark. This will assist audience members to see and sit in the right seat and I want the audience members to feel comfortable.  

​This material I found was super curvaceous, flexible, and bendy which has been the center of my inspiration for my chair design. To manipulate this material, I cut the shower loafer, stretched it and spray painted it black. The darkness and the unique pattern compliment my overall theme of my fashion show. If audience can have a seat that represented this shape will make them feel like they belong furthermore, with the curvaceousness of the chair would also make them feel comfortable at ease. Due to the fashion show being dark and mysterious I felt it was important that the audience are well looked after as I want to engage in the show and recognize the sustainability that is integrated.  

To me this GIF is characterized by geometric shape, reflection and pattern thus, making the GIF appealing. This week I focused on using foil and how I can manipulate this material. To get this result I simply scrunched up the foil and then spray painted it black. The black assisted in enhancing the shape and pattern of the foil which I came to like.  By moving the foil in the sunlight, I was able to get different reflection, lighting and shadowing which enabled different colours to immerge. The overall feel of this GIF is peculiar and irregular therefore, allows the viewer to watch the GIF multiple times without looking away.
