Digital Photo Frame Locket Necklace
We made a heart shaped locket
necklace with a digital frame inside. the outside part is made of Wood with a
gold color chain. When you open the locket you’ll see the digital photo frame
in a heart shape and a slideshow of the images will begin.
For making this necklace we would
first change some of the ideas we didn’t like or that were not practical from
the prototype, after doing this we’ll measure the size of the necklace so that
we can start cutting the pieces. Then we’ll have the digital drame designed in
a way that it fills out the whole heart shape in one side but at the same side
that the shape doesn’t cut any part of the image, after we have this done we
will start attaching the wood surface to the inside and outside part of
the pendant. then we will put a metal thing so that you can open but also
to keep it close very firm.
The reason we chose to create a photo
locket necklace is because we feel that for people who have had such great
memories with their loved ones and now that even though they may be gone, they
should still be remembered. By making a photo locket necklace, people can feel
free to review all great memories they have have once shared any time they
want.
Unarmored Body
Invading
With this drawing I wanted to think about suffering in an imaginary way.
The pose of the human figure seems worried about something. In the back I
wanted to assemble a cancer cell that it’s invading her. Even though the cancer
cell is such a powerful and harmful thing at the same time it has beautiful
shape and colors. The reason I made this drawing is because it’s related to how
my family felt while my grandmother was at surgery.

Design Review
Prada
When we went to the Met and the Schiaparelli and Prada exhibition I saw a garment that I really liked. It was made by Prada. What I remember of the garment was a really staright cut, the silhouette was very simple. the color was the thing that made this piece very interesting because it had like gradient colors that went from a brown orange color to a much lighter mustard color in the middle. the length its about 5 fingers under the knee.

It had really thin vertical pleats and in the chest the colors made a heart shape and it had a thin belt in the waist.
I find this piece very successful becuase it looks very neat and the pleats are really thin so it doesn't look strong, the colors are perfect because the mix in a way that fit really good together.
Garment
The Solution
I made a garment out painted tracing paper, I first painted the tracing
paper with a mix of blue I and white acrylics and then I crumpled the paper; I
cut the tracing paper and started adhering the pieces, at the end I fashioned
the dress with the flowers and the collar.
The purpose of my garment was to create a dress for my family while my
grandmother was in surgery, to achieve this intention I had to think about how
I felt in that moment and how was the family in that time. I chose that kind of
blue because it’s a relaxing. The purpose of the flowers on the left side is to
protect the heart, for this idea I got inspired by an armor I saw at the Met
museum.

Imposible conversation
Gabrielle Chanel
I would love to have a conversation with Coco Chanel because of the way she designs and her I found her life inspiring in so many ways. when women were fighting for equality and the right to vote. she tried to express this new freedom was through appearance and dress. She changed the way women dressed in those times an by making more simple and comfortbale clothes. She made clothes inspired by what men used
Her work had influenced my work by using the same shapes and style. I am very inspired by the chanel suit because it never goes out of style and its something that would represent her style. I think she fhas a influence in my work by the way she simplifies everthing but at the same time it doesn't loses her elegance, thats a thing I always want to show in my work.
Her influence in my work manifests itself by adding a touch of personality and color to the work. I love working with light colors and whith textures.
