Handing in and a New Project

I got my mark back for my last project were we had to mark a trend book and then do a presentation on our trend to "buyers" of our chosen target market.



In the end i chose to research into the 1950's which then took me into 1950's pin up trends so i called my trend the poster pin up trend. i struggled with this project and got really stressed out about it, i don't think Ive ever been so stressed and i don't know why i don't usually get really stressed out anyways i did enjoy making my trend book after i had to redo it after doing it once after printing out my original version i altered bits of my original trend book and made my own background after having one from google on the original version of my trend book it looked a lot better then my first trend book so I'm glad i re did it.



For our trend books we had to do all our flats in illustrator which at first i absolutely hated and couldn't get them to look right but after a bit of practise i really started to enjoy it and got a bit addicted to it.



We also had to do a presentation on our trend to Gemma and the rest of the class, presentations don't really bother me so i quite enjoyed doing it and didn't really get that nervous.



We also had to do final illustrations of our design development from using the trend book here some of my final illustrations.

I did my final illustrations on illustrator as i think they look better then if i had hand drawn them. for this project i got 65% which i was really happy with i thought i would get a 2:2 for this because my research i didn't think was that great so i was really happy when i got this mark!

We have now started research practices which will eventually lead us on to extended research practices in 3rd year so i have to do well on this one, but i think i will find it quite hard as its all about research and I'm not great at research so I'm really gonna try hard with this project.

As well as doing this i still need to do my critical studies portfolio which i am NOT looking forward to!

On another note i don't have dyslexia just distinctive traits, in other words I'm just a bit ditsy but tell me something i don't know!

new project time

i recently got my mark back for design realisation and i got a 64% which i was pleased with as i did work hard on this project and was really glad to get above a 2.2 for once!

now that design realisation is over we have now started another project applied fashion design which is all about trends and making trend books i have found it quite hard to get into this project and have some inspiration for it i know what i want my trend to be on i just find it hard to get it on to paper and explain it I'm not very good at research and putting it together and interpretation my own images i feel this is something that really lets me down in my final marks.

on Friday i had my dyslexia 3 hour test which was awful, the woman was really patronizing and me feel even more stupider than i did already like she couldn't understand why i can do somethings and not other things and this makes no sense to her i really wanted to tell her I'm not faking it if that what she thinks but i thought there was no point she commented a lot on my hesitation over words and stuff like that which i didn't appreciate and wish she had just kept to herself. but there we go I'm meant to get my results in a few weeks so we'll see what she says about me, that will be interesting.

hopefully ill get more into this project as well soon and understand it more and my research i feel i have all these ideas around my head but i just cant seem to put them all down quick enough and in a way that explains what i want to do. hopefully ill over come this soon enough.

as well as having this 20 credit module i also have to do my critical studies essay which is 2000 words and the whole of critical studies is also 20 credits so i have two 2o credit modules going on at the same time which is really not fun and a lot of work!

on another note RIP McQueen.
