Noye's Fludde: Final designs

Noye's Fludde: Colours Development

These are some colour developments. I didn't focus much on the patterns here because I intended to choose the strongest design and then apply the pattern to this design afterwards.

Noye's Fludde: Sketches/ Costume Development

To begin with I had several different ideas of styles for Ham's costume. The influence from the photographs I posted earlier can be seen in the costumes shapes, such as the rounded arches found in design 1, and the shape of the Moroccan style doorway in design 7. All designs, although it cannot be seen, would have hoods on the back. I liked the idea of having two layers in the costume, so a quite plain looking dress beneath a more detailed shawl-like garment over the top. In the designs where the shawl is one shouldered, the hood would have to be attached to the dress beneath, however in designs 3 and 7, the hoods are attached to the garment on top.

Noye's Fludde: Influence maps

After having gathered the information about Ham I have decided to incorporate the African culture into my designs because Ham was linked with Africa as mentioned in the previous post.

To do that, I have been taking my own photographs to use for inspiration, influence and design process  whilst being on holiday in Morocco. (Anyone can use these photos for this project if you find them relevant for your own designs!)
For instance, the buildings shapes will be integrated into the costume design, patterns will be useful in terms of the costume's decoration.
Concerning the last influence map, it serves the purpose of giving me an idea about things such as shoes and general style contained in the African Culture.

Regarding Ham's wife's costume design, this will be designed to match his using the same influences.

As for the colours, the influence images for these will follow after my posts showing the initial ideas for costume style and shape.
