RESULTS , new project and critical studies ..
We got our marks in today and I was so pleased to get 78! I was surprised that I did so well on my technical file, but very pleased that it came across professional and industry style. We are currently working on new project Applied fashion design and it has got me really excited because I am feeling really inspired by the trends and think I could get lots of research. I feel like we haven’t been able to research with our own photographs etc for a while and I’m really looking forward to it. However with lots of reading and a draft to do for critical studies as well I am going to have a very busy reading week at home!!

Work placement and design realisation
I have had a very busy few week, firstly I applied to be a fashion illustrator/design intern in London a week or so ago( for ppd2 ) and was asked to attend an interview, so I spent most of the week stressed putting together my portfolio whilst finishing design realisation for hand in as well. …Anyway I went to London on Monday and attended the interview. It went really well and they offered me the placement! I was so pleased, but now there is the issue of finding somewhere to stay in London that doesn’t cost and arm and a leg !
I’m really excited to be living in London for 3 weeks, it’s going to be a lot different to what I am used to and I think I am going to learn so much from the company I will be working for .
I also had my feedback for Design realisation…. The positives were,
• Excellent body of research
• Precise technical package, presented to a professional standard
• Garment constructed beautifully
The parts I needed to work on were:
• experiment with a different media when annotating(when this was pointed out I realised that I did use a lot of random biros etc for my notes and for a cleaner finish need to consider something more consistent
I felt I learnt quite a lot from this project, especially managing to use illustrator to do flats which I was really proud of, and developing a positive way of working. In this module I took apart the garment were told to design from which seemed to give me lots of ideas on designing. Even though we were making one garment I felt I could design lots more from the idea pages I produced ,which is positive and I’m going to use this way of working again if I get the chance.
