Costume Research

Having developed a character and colour theme,  I needed to design appropriate costume that will represent both my characters personality and also fit in with the colour scheme. When designing my costume I will have to consider several aspects to make for a successful design, this includes:

• What type of clothes (T-shirt/shirt/jeans etc)
• The fitting of clothes
• The colour of clothes
• Any notable design features (T shirt print etc)
• Accesories

To make for an accurate portrayal of my character through costume I decided to conduct my own primary research into people's dress and fashion sense. The main focus of this task was to explore into the fitting of clothes and see to what extent their is correlation between dress sense and personality. I decided an effective way to research this would be to go into the city centre and photograph people's outfits and particularly the way they fit.
