Design and Communication



This year for our Design and Communication module we can chose which production we want to design for. I have chosen Merlin, basing it on the BBC version. I'm setting it around the middle of the 1400s between 1440-1460 in England. Gaius, Merlin, Guinevere, Arthur and Morgana will be designed for. Medieval is a new time period to me so I am excited to look into it. Here are some image of 1400s costumes that I took on my trip to London

These images were taken at the Victoria and Albert Museum. 
Tapestry, 1430-1440 
Tapestry, 1430-1440

These images were taken at the National Gallery.
