Cracks and Growth Shoot Design



Cracks and Growth is designed to appreciate the different textures of the skin and how this should make us strong, and encourage our personality to grow rather than shrink back. I have tested with Fullers Earth as stated in a previous shoot to emphasise the textural difference in skin. The design is similar to that of desert floors, and this is a really intreating starting point for inspiration of how I should apply and manipulate the Fullers Earth to create this effect. To do this I needed to look closer at the texture of desert floors and different landscapes that are exposed to drying out or cracking, and I have created the textures board below to ensure that I stick to this when I test later today.

A look through WGSN has shown that this sort of elemental texturising is current and predicted for A/W16/17 which again allows me to carry on in the knowledge that my project will relate to industry trends, enabling me to viably connect my project to a fashion based landscape as well as a beauty/diversity built audience.



One of the technical instructors has advised me that, although it appears white, the Fullers Earth will more than likely photograph grey. She suggested adding Aqua Colour to emphasise the white colour which I have re-tested with and will use when I do the final shoot.
