    Constellation
    (UMT.Lahore, 2018) Fizza Asif
    Background:- The word “constellation” means a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern that is traditionally named after its apparent form or identified with a mythological figure. The old constellations’ names were derived from Greek mythology but the constellations created later on were mostly named after scientific instruments and animals. However, these constellations don’t come with a particular set of rules as the idea behind one constellation is entirely different from the other. Some constellations are linked with astronomy more prominently. Inspiration:- The inspiration of my thesis is the idea that any kind of constellations can be created just with the mere connection of stars. Provided that, infinite patterns or shapes can be made just by the use of this simple but unique process of making constellations with the connection of stars, without connecting it to Greek myths and astrological figures. Objectives of Project:- The main objective is to create the star pathways inspired by constellations. The aim is to use my experience developed throughout my degree program and use my skills in developing beautiful designs and work with them for the purpose of exploring my creativity to the utmost. Countless textile patterns can be created using this inspiration of making these patterns. Constellations have an extremely strong impact on the viewer as one naturally wants to draw shapes using the stars. Constellations have a very striking and impressive look as they make you feel captivated and cozy at the same time. The thesis will involve:- The development of designs using digital and manual textures and patterns. The basic preparation and color management will be done. The colors most prominently used will be shades of blue, black, sea blue and green, some galaxy colors such as violet and grey, and definite white for the drawing of constellations. The constellation patterns made will be abstract and geometric and will include no curvilinear structure formation. Finally, all the textural backgrounds will be patterns of the night sky. Plan of Work:- My work will include a step by step procedure that will be both concept and research based. After carrying out the research I will develop research boards and mood boards for my theme that will include various inspired constellation patterns. A color pallet will also be developed. Then I will do initial sketching for motif and pattern development. Repeat patterns and other methods will be used for design creation. Further, color application will be done. Both Photoshop and manual design development techniques will also be used; which includes the use of mix media techniques for manual purpose. All work will be displayed from portfolios to end product in a display session. Expected Outcomes:- All in all, the eventual product line creation will visually highlight the inspiration gathered from already listed constellations but constitute of new constellations keeping in view the basic idea of the night sky star connections. I will communicate my idea through my product range as self-expression for fulfillment of my thesis aims and objectives. The scope of my work will help protrude my idea of constellation designs. Expectantly, prints will be developed for home textile furnishing. A wide range of prints will be produced for home textile products, like sofa and cushion prints. As a result, constellation influenced designs will emerge as intricate but cozy and inviting for contemporary home textile products.
