Website Structure for my Series Project
I want the website to read like a magazine, with pages, an overload of colors and information that lets you really take your time with each page, and with additional features such as gifs, auto-played videos, horizontal scrolling, and interactive elements like hovers and links.
Each series entry will have the following aspects:
- Process tiktok or short video
- Historical information on the silhouette/structure
- A recipe: pattern + instructions
- Images of people wearing the style
- Images and process photos of my own making (3D CAD modelling and also physical remake)
I want to incorporate a horizontal scroll to keep the page from getting too long vertically, and include a header and footer in the top that links to the next patterns.
I'm going to make the following patterns:
- yukata
- choli
- qipao or cheongsam
- huipil
- jupe et tebas
- Vera Mukhina patterns
- Some of my own adaptations
There are a few themes that I am the most interested in exploring in this series:
- Gender and class expressions in clothing
- History of European imperialism in shaping traditional wear (which will definitely also touch on the topic above too)
- Garment production and construction within a societal context (industrialization, materials, class and work, reuse, and generational heirloom)
