-make all stripes one layer, so merge the layers and save
-i will be unable to change or update the file as the layers will be merged
- for rendering dds on computer DO NOT PUT DIAGONAL STRIPES ON THE BACK OF THE GARMENT- do not stripe the back (where the tag is)
either shade with a darker colour or leave
-dodge and burn tools are used to retouch and add shadows
-when ever rendering you MUST have a block colour on the inverse
- usually skin colour for the body
-work on a larger scale its better to decrease then increase the size on photocopy

assessment notes
BOARDS ASSESSMENT
-use the elements of design throughout the layout
-balance = the eye is drawn just above the centre of the presentation board
-asymetrical designs are younger and create a modern feel whereas symetrical boards are classic and older
- positive and negative space= the positive space is the dds and headings etc, negative is the spare space around it
-grounding= use a line or boarder to tie everything into eachother, balances the board
COLOUR
-Use a dark colour behind bright colour in order for the colour to stand out and increase the visibility
-usually use a mid grey as a black background is too harsh
-don't layer colours that are of the same value or similar hue, eg: greens and blues together do not work well
-blue is not a good colour to use on the board
-must have good boundaries on the boards
-red is the first colour the human eye sees
-do not use red near the descriptions as the designs should attract the attention of the viewer
-think about the feeling you want to convey= warm, cozy, soft or harsh cold and modern
-cool colours are "lazy" they don't attract much attention
-warmer tones stand out well against grey
-never use blue as text
-leave small text details in black

scanning
unfortunatly my scanner wouldnt allow me to change the dpi, and only allowed one type of possible scan (clearly i need a new scanner!) this is what i was able to do:
1) place fabric/ dds sketch into the scanner
2) close the lid and select colour mode and location to be scanned to
3) the image would appear on the screen and the only options available to change was its file type, eg. jpeg.
