Collaging an Image

The designer that inspires me is Karl Lagerfeld. I love his sense of fashion and his different collections. Karl Lagerfeld is a German fashion designer, photographer and costumer. He started his career in France in the 1950s. He creates his own collections for women and men since 1974. Lagerfeld is also the creative director of the French fashion boutique Chanel. That caused him an international billion concern.

In my opinion are the different collections he designed stunning. He has a talent for patterns and posh. Karl Lagerfeld also gets inspired by different cultures for example Greece.I also like about his fashion that some collections are wearable in our everyday lives.

For those reasons I based my collages on him. I printed a model wearing his dress and added white paper to design different outfits. My pieces look extravagant and in combination with Lagerfeld's model it appears also glamorous.

At first I did not like the task because I thought it was waste but as I finished designing my first collage I liked my outcome and I learned that it is important to look at other designers as well. It is not about coming up with new fashion trends it is about looking around and getting inspired by everything. But it is necessary to develope an own handwriting and do not copy it from someone else.

Examples for 'protected characteristics' are the age, disability, sex or sexual orientation, the religion, etcetera. In fact of that the British Values are defined as "democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance for those with differe...

What is "The Big Draw"? The Big Draw is an arts education charity that altercate with the language of drawing. It is used as a method for learning, inventing and expressing various creative thoughts of students.

The different assignments showed me that it is better to experiment with different drawing methods than just to stick to the known one...

Can Graphic Design Save Your Life?

Going to the exhibition helped me a lot to inform myself better about different subjects in graphic design. It also showed me how important universal images are so that everybody understands them in the right way. Furthermore, it was interesting to gain knowledge about the history and the importance of graphics Before seeing this exhibition I thought that graphic design would mainly advertise companies but I realized that it is more than just advertisement. Sometimes it can save lives. Graphic design is often used to inform, educate, promote and persuade. One important role of graphic design is helping to understand the human body and to inform people about health and treatment. For example by showing a cancer affected human his status to help him deciding either doing a chemotherapy or not. Referring to that the German doctor Fritz Kahn developed a visual storytelling design to explain how the body works. Graphic design has also a big influe...
