Gaming

For my final project last year we did gaming. This would have me look into online games and research about them and characters in them. After I had collected my research I chose one game and then one character from in the game. I looked into how they dressed, what they did in the game and everything I could about them. The character I chose was a women in the 1800’s era, who lived in France. She was an assassin who used clothes to hide from the law and help her blend into her surroundings. I designed a collection based on her assassin’s outfit, with lots of black and red in it. The clothes were mainly trousers and hooded tops as that’s what she would of wore to blend in. After that I used half scale to produce a garment of my own design. Through this project I have learnt that women are not often used in video games and even rarely women of African decent. I believe this project has taught me a lot about the gaming industry which I wasn’t aware of and helped me understand why gaming is such a popular activity now.
