Fashion and Textiles: Shoe Idea Generation

This image is a colour copy of a series of ideas I have for shoe designs. I chose to work with the foot because I had already experimented solely on garments for the upper body in my pervious work with paper garments, therefore I wanted to create a new challenge for myself. I really like this method of idea generation as it is quick, allows for a un-staggered creative flow and you are able to see all of your ideas close together, which helps when comparing and deciding which ideas you feel work best. I was surprised to find how many ideas I was able to come up with using this method. Usually, I can only manage to think up around three ideas. If I were to do this exercise again I would perhaps spend less time dwelling on each design in order to pump out EVEN more ideas. However, it was good preparation for the next stage of the fashion and textiles project, where I had to make sketches of more shoe designs developed from these initial, brisk ideas.
