Preliminary Designs for Costumes, Part I

Here you can see the preliminary designs for the costumes. Jonathan Southwell is the designer. Costume designers use inspirational images as a way to brainstorm the style of clothing, the colors, and the textures they will use as they create a look for each of the characters. A next step in the process is to create renderings, or drawings of the costumes, as you see below.
