We had a lecture this morning on our next project with Kevin. We met Sally Davis who talked us through the script that we will be designing costumes for, Santa's Tickly Tale, a children's play. For the unit we
will need to design 5 characters, Santa, Mrs Claus, Cheeky Charlie, The Feathered Phantom and a Wizard. I am thoroughly looking forward to this project as designing is what I enjoy most.
I have been thinking on ideas for the characters and have looked up images of Santa in different cultures. Although many of the Santas resembled the traditional Santa, Russia's Santa stood out due to the beautiful costume worn which was all embroidered and so beautiful.
As for the feathered phantom I am going to have to reign it in a little as I enjoy designing dark characters as I think they are the most fun, however I will have to keep in mind that it is a children's play therefore can't be too scary.
