Projections

When looking further into the idea of shadows i began to notice how they have been used alot within fashion magazines to create striking effects on the models bodies and faces. Im starting to think that i would like to play around with the idea of projecting shadows onto the body or face in order to produce ideas for facial/body jewellery making the projected shadows the base for my sketches and designs, the images shown above are perfect examples of projections which could be adapted and turned into facial jewellery pieces.

 

The image displayed on the right shows the shadow of an umberellas pattern projected onto a brides back, i chose to add this image as i felt it was a great example of projection and how a design idea could be created from the imagery projected, the pattern shown on the females back could be taken to the next level and influence the idea of a draped shoulder piece for example. I felt this image was quite charming as the black shadows displayed have come from a crisp white umberella making it quite opposite from the white wedding day theme i also like how the projection looks acidental and un-planned.
