Editorial Designs

I've looked back at all my research and looked back at the key points I made that I want to add into my Editorial Look. My main look is scarification so I have drawn up lots of different design patterns for my final look and then I am going to practice this look.

Design One

Here is my first design, you have to excuse the really bad photo, their all taken on my ipod which is bad quality.

This is my first practice design and i think it is really poor, I don't think it would make alot of impact and I think it would look much better if the scarification ran down the arms and up the neck. It is a good starting point and has started me off in the design process. The scarification would be made using; string and pva glue.

Design Two

Here is my second design, with this one I want to show a different type of scarification and with this one when I see it i think of pain. I think the slashes on the arm and especially the chest resemble pain. The chest one would be quite large to show a deep wound at the start but I would show it as it's risen and would have quite a large rise. I do prefer this one to Design one and think I shall practice this. For this design I would use string doubled up and pva glue or liquid latex. 

Design Three

Here is my third design, I have taken some elements from design two. I liked the slashes on the arm and from design two but I have changed what will be on the chest in this design. I have got inspiration for the chest design from Aboriginal Art, I looked back at their patterns and have taken an idea from their. I took the idea of circular dotting. The centre of the dots would be made from a cluster of popcorn and then the little dots are individual popcorn. I need to make sure when I do this that the dots look realistic and look like it's in the skin. 

Design Four

Here is my fourth design, I have added elements from design three and two. The two elements I have taken the scratches from design two and put them on the face and i have taken the circular shapes from design three and made them smaller and have applied them down the arms. I really like the V shape I have created on this image, the large V on the neck/chest does almost look like a necklace or accessory on this design. I also like and think I am going to carry this on that the made scarification is down the arms and that theirs is only a little bit on the face. I think that if their is lots on the face aswell this could look too much. I am going to draw more designs with lots on the arms and small design on the face.

Design Five

Back of design Five

Here is my fifth design, i have carried on the V shaping from design four. I do really like this design, I got my inspiration for using the star/flower pattern on the arms and face from my previous research(photo on my mood board). The pattern would go V then star shape and so on, I have also added a V shape on the chin and stars down the cheek. The V shape would be made out of string and the stars either out of rice or string. 

Design Six

This design does look quite similar to the design above however I have adapted it by making the pattern on the chest larger to give more of an impact and I have also brought the design down to the hands aswell. I have added the star shape on the hand and also some small V shaping on the fingers. I also planning on bringing the design on the chest also on the top of the back. With this design on the face I have taken part of the design from template number five with the stars on the face. I want the face to be very simple yet beautiful because their is alot going on in the arms.
