Female+Fashion+Rebellion

**Female Fashion Rebellion**
My topic for Project 2 was fashion and clothing as a means of rebellion. For project 3 I began by looking at what kinds of statistics I could gather on this topic. What I found was that there was much more available in terms of fashion history and important dates, as opposed to statistical analysis on said topic. From here I decided one interesting facet to explore would be the history of clothing protest and rebellion from a feminine perspective. Rebellion against the established or dominant fashion has been a constant theme in the history of female dress. With this in mind I gathered dates, trends, and events based from early 20th century to the present that were significant in the history of female fashion rebellion. My interactive visualization would be presented as a timeline infographic.

 * Developing Visual Concept:**





Above are sketches that will act as the basis of my design. Each sketch represents an era, important date, or significant article of clothing that showed a break from cultural conventions of female dress throughout the 20th century.

My aim to to maintain the same visual aesthetics as my website with the use of hand-drawn imagery and a limited colour palate except with the added interactive flash element. Below are some stills that show the evolution of my design up until the final composition.
