Inspiration
For my Prom Tux, I wanted to create a dignified and refined outfit that was easy to move in and visually interesting. I decided early on in the design process to create a southern style white tux because of the dynamic and stylish appearance, and I then chose to incorporate the patterns of a red and gold colored King of Hearts playing-card, as I felt that the elegant and familiar design would be a fun theme for my tux. Additionally, this theme was in line with the Casino Night theme of our Prom Party. All of the patterns and even the corners of the tux are based on the King of Hearts playing-card that I designed for my creative process with the notable exception of my Duck Brand Logo Western Belt Buckle, which is a nod to my Texan Heritage. The tux and especially the artwork on the back were extremely difficult and monotonous to make, as the white tape shows more errors and ensuring the symmetry of the double facing design was very strenuous. At prom, however, many of my peers did not immediately realize that my Tux was made of Duct Tape, much less homemade, which made the whole long endeavor worth it; I don’t think anyone else was as photographed as I was!
