Research practices and further development of portfolio..

Research practices is coming to an end now - I went home last week and I took more pictures of lost and found concepts that supported my work .I like to use mostly all my own photographs and images from where I live, this seem to get me most interested in projects. Doing this project and the previous humble heritage one has really made me consider what I want to do for third year - I think I will take aspects of what I have explored within the trend module and of course research practice. It has really got me thinking about my future career and what I’m truly interested in. I think ideally I would like to be a designer and/or illustrator -but doing enterprise and pattern cutting more even makes me consider my own business in the future. Which I never thought I would say, however I think I have developed greatly in confidence over this year in particular and I understand better what my strengths and weaknesses are and what I enjoy and what I don’t so much. I think my work placement really did aid me in understanding this. It showed me that I can cope with real working situations and hold my own on a project, by being given real responsibility. I was looking through my portfolio for my interview for PPD I am pleased with how it looks and remember how stressful it was putting it together for my interview with Bunmi Koko. I need to edit it slightly as I have some first year work in there that I want to replace with second year work I have recently done. Here are some of the strongest images in my portfolio:
