Constructivism.

Trying to develop a concept for Eclectic my clothing label, whilst researching geometric art i came across constructivism, this was one of the main things that attracted me to graphic design when starting my foundation degree, within art i have always appreciated well constructed composition of geometric shapes, the impact for me is much stronger in these design.
I researched the theory behind constructivism and it seems fitting to ideas I'm having for my project.

'Constructivism is a theory of learning and an approach to education that lays emphasis on the ways that people create meaning of the world through a series of individual constructs. Constructs are the different types of filters we choose to place over our realities to change our reality from chaos to order. Von Glasersfeld describes constructivism as, “a theory of knowledge with roots in philosophy, psychology, and cybernetics” (p 162). Simply stated, it is a learning process which allows a student to experience an environment first-hand, thereby, giving the student reliable, trust-worthy knowledge. The student is required to act upon the environment to both acquire and test new knowledge.'

I aim to create a series of designs which reflect cities and cultures from around the world, this idea is still rather vague and I'm not sure if i will pursue it but for now i will continue to research and see what direction it takes me

Enclave.

Finally getting around to my clothing label brief, starting by looking into a fairly new clothing label, Enclave, 'A progressive art driven brand creatively providing a middle ground between premium street fashion and contemporary menswear'. Enclave regularly release nice design for street wear, with my clothing label i would like to focus more on street wear but feel i need to develop an appropriate concept before deciding on aesthetics for the brand, I would like to call my brand Eclectic, meaning 'Selecting, especially the best from a number of sources, I'm thinking of selecting a subject matter for each release, and developing a concept to develop the art work from, i want to keep to geometric composition using solid colour and a hint of typography in some.
