I started to plan the kind of shapes I will be using for my photography shoot and where I will place them around my body. I don't want it to be top heavy, there needs to be a good balance of distribution around my body. I also started to think about location - where is the best place to take the photo without losing interest in the craft and aesthetic of the costume. I thought about perhaps adding texture alongside the opaque colours to give it some extra edge. I don't however want to over complicate the design.
After my feedback session with Jamie, he suggested that I should really 'go big' and exaggerate the shapes coming out of my body. He suggested instead of cardboard I should use foam board so it is easier to paint, and to get crisper shapes. I need to think about how they will stick to my body and if I am going to wear a t shirt in which case I could use a glue gun - an alternative is to paint my naked body with shapes and colour and somehow attach the shapes with string?
I think probably the most successful idea is if I wear a t shirt and perhaps paint it and stick the shapes on top - this will probably be the most easy and manageable and probably most effective. From this I could add shapes that will come outwards, stuck to the t shirt either using tape of glue gun.
