Project 2 - Line

ZigZag lines are used among apparel and home furnishings. These lines can be seen to make the body shorter and wider.

Pinstripe is another example how lines are used for various items for example formal suits, baseball uniforms and PJ bottoms. Pinstripe is fine vertical lines close together, they make the body seem taller and slimer.




Buttons create an Implied line, which can be formed in many ways for example dots. An Implied line is one that does not exist but we see them through visual processes. This picture shows an example of both.

Abstract lines are completely random and can be found on anything from apparel to home furnishings. In this picture there is a comtemporary peice of furniture that has be modified to follow an abstract line, similar to the lines that form a random pattern on the models dress.

APD 242 Kimberley Haugh

This is a photo of my hometown of Swindon. It is actually an aerial view of my neighbourhood. I still keep in touch with all my Friends and family back there and try to visit as often as I can.

This photo inspires me with the vibrant colors of the feathers, I also love how each feather is different just like we are individuals. Its important for me to keep an open mind and embrace different things, experiences and people.


This picture is what I love about fashion. You could be anywhere in the world yet fashion still exists and is always changing. And I also LOVE to travel and learn about new cultures and ideas.




About me

I am originally from England, I moved here just over three years ago with my family. I am the youngest in my family with an older brother and the first on both my mom and dad’s side of the family to go to college. Growing up in England is definitely different to the way of life here. I was 16 when I moved to North Carolina although I had been too America It was hard for me to adjust to all the different names of things (Trash Can = Rubbish Bin). I am a very independent person I don’t rely on people to do things for me; I have always been taught if I want something I have to work hard to earn it. I believe that you get what you deserve, you should work hard and strive for your goals and not sit around waiting for an opportunity to come to you, but for you to go look for your own opportunities. I am a very social person, I love to meet new people and discover new things. I am always on the go, I have to stay busy, and I can’t just sit around all day long. That is part of the reason why I love fashion and advertising so much, I get bored with things way to easily and fashion is always changing and evolving. This keeps me motivated to achieve my goals and dreams of working within the industry.
