Throughout the idea we continued discussing ideas and the designers began thinking about their designs, thinking about shapes, volumes, and colour. We made a decision that each designer would have their own colour for their collection as Comme for the last few seasons has been sticking to one colour for their entire collection. I decided that I wanted as a promoter to make the designers happy, In real life my job would be to create something for a designer to help show their ideas with my own ideas to help enhance it. To do this I listened very carefullly to each of the designers and asked them lots of questions and put in my own thougths so I could build this strong mental image of who we were collectively and individually.
First
My first idea came to me as I watched the designers drapping calico on the mannequins to create shapes. I loved the folds and movement of the material so I decided to photocopy thinking i could paint COMME des GARCONS over the top of the photocopy. While photocopying the material I remembered these head pieces that were everywhere on our mood boards. I was suddenly then hit with another idea to place my head on the photocopier and place the fabric above and around my face. I took these images and painted COMME des GARCON in various ways over them, I tried a few methods.

The next step i my thought process was taking the images and adding typography through Photoshop. The ones I edited on Photoshop turned out alright, I think that they are cool however they are not final pieces. I think the image is a little basic and that I can come up with something much more conceptual and something that when you look at it you would think COMME. To get to that I need to create a new image, I need to decide what method I want to use and materials and also what I want the image to actually be.
