2012 4-H Fashion Storyboard General Rules and Guidelines

OVERVIEW The 4-H Fashion Storyboard is an industry-inspired method of displaying original designs. The best storyboards create vivid visual images that are interesting and appealing to viewers. The storyboard “tells the story” of the designer’s idea. The storyboard includes original illustrations and flats, as well as additional materials (such as photos from the Internet or magazines, paper, fabric swatches, patterns, etc.) that have influenced the unique design. PURPOSE The purpose of the Fashion Storyboard contest is to give 4-H members an opportunity to create a storyboard of their original design. It also provides the members an opportunity to gain knowledge of the career responsibilities of a fashion designer and illustrator, enhance creativity and originality, and develop visual communication skills. DESIGN BRIEF The following design brief serves as the direction for the 2012 Fashion Storyboards. 4-H members should create their Fashion Storyboard around their interpretation of the design brief. Around the World – Use your fashion passport to explore people, places, culture and fashion around the world. Use what you learn about other parts of the globe to inspire your creation. GENERAL RULES 1. Participation and Level of Competition. A 4-H member may enter only one storyboard. Contestants advance from county to district. Participation in the Fashion Storyboard competition at Texas 4-H Roundup is for Senior Texas 4-H members who have placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in their district contest in each category.

2. Entry of Storyboard. Each storyboard must be created by the 4-H member. Fashion Storyboard layouts should include original illustrations and flats, as well as additional materials that have influenced their unique design. 4-H members may choose to manually affix the pieces of their layout to their storyboard, or computer-generated layouts can be printed and affixed to the foam core or mat board. All items need to be securely adhered to the board. It is the 4-H member’s responsibility to affix all components of their layout for secure transportation.

3. Submission of Storyboard. Entering the competition is by submitting the Fashion Storyboard only. There will not be an interview. The Fashion Storyboard must be checked-in on Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Do not mail. The specific time and location for check-in will be announced in the Texas 4-H Roundup materials.

4. Identification of Storyboard. The Fashion Storyboard Label must be securely affixed to the back of the storyboard. The label MUST be legibly printed or typed and MUST be complete, including the answer to the Originality of Design question. The 4-H member should not put his/her name on the front. 5. Number of garments designed. Focus on one garment/outfit for the storyboard. Contestants may provide up to two (2) variations of the original design.

6. Categories. The following is a list of the categories and descriptions. Each storyboard should be entered into one category. A 4-H member may enter only one storyboard.

14

a. Wearable: Clothing that can be worn. Includes items such as pants, shorts, skirts, blouses, sweaters, coats, dresses, etc.

b. Accessory: Includes items such as belts, purses, bags, hats, etc.

c. Jewelry: Includes necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings.

d. Non-Wearable: Includes items such as pillows, organizers, holiday items, stuffed animals, items for the home, etc.

e. Pet Clothing: Includes items that can be worn by a pet or any other animal.

7. Scoring. Storyboards will be evaluated based on the 4-H Fashion Storyboard Score Sheet.

8. Each Storyboard must conform to and will be evaluated based on the following, but is not limited to:

a. Visual Appeal/Creativity of Storyboard – Storyboards should show evidence of creativity by the 4-H member. The layout of the storyboard should illustrate a theme, mood, or spirit of an idea.

i. A good storyboard should have a strong focal point.

ii. Placement of the inspirational items should allow the eye to flow across all elements of the board without distracting from the design.

iii. “White space” or “blank space” should be kept in consideration. Too much or too little white space detracts from the design.

iv. Additional photos and other materials can be used to show the inspiration for the design. These additional materials should enhance the storyboard, without taking away from the original design.

b. Quality of Workmanship – Storyboards should be neat and demonstrate quality of workmanship.

c. Consistent Color Palette – Use a consistent color palette and theme throughout the board.

d. Fabric Samples, Trims, and Embellishments – Fabric samples must be included on the board and be appropriate for the design illustrated. Trims and embellishments that would be used on the garment/outfit should be included, if applicable to the design.

i. If the exact fabric swatch cannot be found, a “basic swatch” may be used to illustrate fabric type (denim, linen, etc.), and the 4-H member can draw out the detail.

ii. Examples of trims and embellishments would be top stitching, piping, buttons, etc.

e. Dimension – Must use foam core board or mat board. Must be 20" x 30", displayed horizontally or vertically. Do not use poster board.

f. Consistent Theme – All elements are cohesive and support the design brief.

g. Originality of Designs – All design illustrations and flats should be the original work of the 4-H member. The design may be hand drawn or computer drawn. No “copying and pasting” from someone’s design as seen on the Internet, in a magazine, or other sources for the original design. h. Design Detail – Should include the at least one Illustration and at least one Flat.

15

i. Illustration – Include at least one main artistic and appropriate fashion illustration. At least one illustration must be on a model/croquis. The model/croquis does not have to be an original drawing and may be traced. See the example below.

ii. Flats – Include at least one flat. Flats are working drawings that are not on a model/croquis that illustrate other views like you would find on a dressmaker’s pattern envelope. The flats should depict the garment from other views and details. See the example below.

Flats combine style with information. You have created an original design and now you need to be able to create a drawing to help someone else see how to make it. Flats are drawn to define shape, fit, construction and sometimes fabrication. Flats are more factual than the same garment drawn on the figure, posed for dramatic looks. They show how a garment is to be made versus how it will be worn.

These drawings for fashion manufacturing are always drawn looking at the garment, never at an angle. Consider this your only means of communication to the seamstress; if you leave out a particular detail, the garment won’t end up being manufactured properly. The details must be exact and clearly specified. http://www.fashion-templates.com/technical-drawings.html

Flats - Showing other views

16

Illustration - outfit drawn on a model / croquis Jewelry Design – flats need to include the technical aspects of a piece of jewelry including clasps, crimp beads, cord or wire, jump rings, etc. Non-wearable – can include details on construction materials and

dimensions. I. Titles/Labels – The title for each storyboard must be: Around the World A subtitle may be used for a more personalized name of the design. Labels may be included to enhance

the storyboard or to clarify a point, but they will not be required. J. Design Brief – Storyboards should follow the design brief and category descriptions.

Helpful Hints for Creating a Fashion Storyboard

Careful planning is essential to creating a professional presentation board. The list below is a general planning list to help in the creation of your storyboard. Purpose The purpose will be to create a storyboard of your original design based on the design brief. Focus Who would you market this design to? What age? What are their likes and interests? How much would they (or their parents) be willing to spend? How would you promote this product? Creating an Original Where did you get the idea for your design? Design What was your inspiration? What makes your design different from others on the market? Think about the design elements and principles used in the design. How do you use those elements and principles to enhance the design? What is your marketing plan? Quantity For this contest, you will be creating a single board. Materials List See the list on the following page. Visual Elements The visual elements that make up a professional board presentation fall into three basic categories: photographs/photocopies, fabric/trims, and figure/flat sketches. Photographs/photocopies: Selecting the right visuals for boards containing mood/theme components is extremely important. Choosing photographs to coordinate with your fabric/color story creates a more aesthetic result and adds to the flow of the board. Fabrics & trims: Fabrics and trims are a crucial part of the design process and must be displayed appropriately on your board. Whenever possible, trim fabric swatches to be the same size, with the exception of prints, which usually need to be larger to show the repeat of a pattern. Illustrations and flats: Illustrations and flat sketches need to accurately show original design. An illustration is an outfit drawn on a model/croquis. Flats are

18

working drawings that are not on a model/croquis that illustrate other views like you would find on a dressmaker’s pattern envelope. Like the old adage says, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Layout The layout is the arrangement of all the elements that will be part of the presentation. The arrangement should be both logical and aesthetically pleasing. Most boards read left to right. Economize the space on the fashion board by overlapping your flats and other visuals. Haphazard or random arrangements can be confusing to the viewer. Techniques and The techniques and technologies used for creating presentation boards can vary Technologies on accessibility. Techniques can vary from cutting and pasting, handwork/sketching and rendering, color copying, or computer-aided graphics. Labeling: Mechanically generated for titling or labeling works best. There are many different lettering options. Computer Design – Commercial design programs are available. Create Dimension – When specific areas of a board need to be highlighted, an option includes mounting the item with an additional layer or layers of foam core on the main board. Reproducing the Board – Because presentation boards are both fragile and cumbersome, some may prefer to have copies of their board printed. This is an expensive method (approximately $60 per board). Basic Materials List:

Mat board or foam core o Approximately 20”x30”

Use magazine, Internet, or similar sources to obtain photos o Resize these photos as needed with a photocopy machine or computer for better layout. o They must be neat and creatively cut and presented. o 3-D mounting is good.

Lettering

o Make sure that the font/text goes well with the layout and is an appropriate size. o Transferable lettering, hand lettering is not recommended. o Check spelling. o Check alignment.

Support Materials

o Scissors and pinking shears for cutting paper and fabric swatches o Various adhesives o Rubber cement o Rubber cement pick-up o Removable adhesive glue stick o Remount repositionable adhesive o Adhesive transfer tape o Drawing pencils – used for a variety of sketching purposes; for both preliminary and finishing techniques,

pencils are available in a variety of leads. o Decorative papers in various colors and textures and fabric swatches.

19

*This is a general list of supplies. Be sure to test the products before using them on your final product. Other helpful tips:

Avoid glue marks or fingerprints on your board. Pins/staples/tacks and tape are not recommended. Avoid a scrapbook look or science fair look. The background should support the theme and layout.

o Consider colored boards, paper, or prints. o Glue down neatly and securely.

Do not make your board too heavy or cumbersome. Make sure it is sturdy enough to travel. Determine your arrangement before you start to glue your designs on the board.

Transportation tips:

If you are not transporting your board to a contest, provide the person transporting your storyboard a picture of the board and any supplies that they may need to repair any minor damage.

Picture frame boxes can be purchased from any moving company. Large portfolio cases can be purchased to transport storyboards. Cost varies depending on the case that you select. Hanging garment bags make good storage containers for Fashion Storyboard.
