“Document how soft interlocking connection has been designed and fabricated; how the connection either creates a full garment or has been applied to the seams; show the connection is well designed and holds the pulls/ stretch of a garment include all downloaded files in your documentary”
Zoe Romano - my mentor- was the leading head of the giving assignment. My colleagues and me are able to explore our creativity to the fullest! First of all Z. Romano provided an informative presentation. Afterwards we need to ask ourself “ which material we want to use and also which mold in order to create something innovative”. However she also explains steps like creating,producing and also selling contributing to fabricate a brand. More or less we focus on the first step- creating.
It was time consuming when it comes to the point which modular elements, structures and connections I want to create. After a while I was interested in creating a clutch. Since it is an important fashion guideline for women. Initially I sketched a modular part on transparent paper with the help of a template we received from Adriana. Using a geometry set enables me to sketch straight lines which amounts 57mm - 5,7 cm ( above figure )
I also needed to add on my sketch a connection to interlock all parts together eventually. Therefore positive/negative feedbacks should be included!! In the below figure you can see my negative feedback ( the lines) which are purposefully opposite to my positive feedback.
The negative feedback is located opposite to the positive feedback. For that reason the negative feedback are the two squared lines. The determination of those lines is 2 cm=20 mm. It has the same measurements like the line of the positive feedback shown in the third picture above. As a result the interlocks will be well designed. However I did the upper line of the positive feedback ( amounts roughly 2,5). Therefore the interlocking between positive and negative feedback is not stress/tight enough. Referring to this point I will go more on detail in the following.
Rhinoceros was needed in order to multiply my modular element. Steps while using Rhinoceros:
“The laser works cutting flat materials with a laser beam. Usually lasercuts in the DLY labs are from 40W to 120W to cut paper, textile, wood, plexiglass”
Adriana ALWAYS reminds us when we are going to use the Laser Cutter we need to make some tests for appropriate materials in order to know the right settings and therefore we will stop wasting on material! I didn't need to make any testings for synthetic leather since we have
