The Stupidest Brief Ever


Here is my response to a brief where we were asked to create a design that would make people smile and put it onto our garment of our choice. I chose a hoodie as i thought it would be a little more interesting than something like a tshirt. I toyed with many ideas including one that many people liked where a man was dropping some food with the caption 'Drop it like it's hot' in reference to the popular Snoop Dogg song. Despite this positive feedback, I thought that it would be more interesting if my work would incorporate the hoodie itself so I started placing objects inside the pocket. My most prominent idea was a horse relaxing with his feet up and it was the once i chose to progress with for the final idea. Because of the amount of time I had, i did not get chance to finish it's legs so instead I turned them into a banana as it suited the banana yellow colour. I would of liked to have been able to finish this design however it has sparked some ideas about having hoodies/garments that incorporate fruit and veg. Who wouldn't want a hoodie with a pineapple poking out of its pocket? Overall, I am not too pleased with the outcome visually as the line quality is poor and the drawing was not too good either. This was mostly likely due to the wooly material of the hoodie and also the time frame. However, I feel that the idea itself and the learning from this task was good.
