after completing this foundation year i plan to progress into the field of jewellery design. as i have been doing the photography pathway, i found outside ways of expanding my portfolio to make it more jewellery specific. this included an evening course at central st martins with hannah martin. after learning some enitial techniques for drawing jewellery, we started to work on developing our own collections. first of all we researched a range of books and magazines to get a feel for images that we liked, i found myself drawn to 90s magaines such as i:d, vogue and elle. Hannah had spoken to us about how she often creates her moodboards around a chcaracter, choosing images that build up the kind of person that you'd expect to see your jewellery worn by. like creating a customer to design for. i found myself subconciously employing this technique and i the character i created was a swarve 90s hip hop male, with an element of class.
i got really exited wheni started researching these magazines and building my character and this has definitely influenced my decission for my final major project theme. when i enitially thought about what i might create in my final major project i felt like the prince of bel air would be an influence, the prince of bel air is omething i identify with in terms of nostalgia, culture and style, i associate it with my childhood and with my personality.
considering both of these factors, the idea of the prince of bel air and 'black hip hop swarve' i've decided this is a good area to begin my research on.
