After looking at Li Edelkort as suggested by Sharon, I gained a lot of insight into trend forecasting and how my concepts could relate to a trend book. However I do not want the produced book to be specifically a 'trend' book, I want it to represent my personal love of texture and unusual materials whilst being a point of inspiration, although I understand the importance of having a focused purpose for the end product. I have looked into other online book publishing companies such as swallowtail.co.uk and Pixum.co.uk. However I will aim to visit a printers in London in the next few weeks in order to personally discuss my options. I have tested some new materials - wet and dry crepe paper, small metal hooks and double sided sticky squares. I am aware that I need to test completed looks in the next two weeks to see how effective the materials will be through the lens in a studio environment.
I have also looked at the works of sculptures Anthony Cragg and Richard deacon as inspiration for my ideas. They have particularly inspired me to think about form, shape and line and think in an abstract way about my work. The book Unmonumental:The object in the 21st Century features artists that use the object to create art and sculpture. This in particular has been inspiration in thinking about form and the use of the object/materials in a new way. The book Patterns 2: Design,Art and Architecture features a wide range of patterns and designs found in architecture, sculpture and lighting for example and forces us to look at pattern and form, line and shape that exists in everyday aesthetics.
Self-determined targets for next week:
- Test shoot on models in the studio creating a 'look'
- Contact potential photographers/Models
