METAL WORK

got my meatl back this week!! and im so happy with it..pictures will follow ones i put it together im really happy with it and the look amazing...check out the toil i did for it...

PRESENTATION

I did a 10 min presentation today! I was so disappointed how it had turned out. I was up virtually all night doing it and it was very tiring. I wasn't clear enough by making the conversation flow smoothly. We had to do it on our finally project and future goals. It was really frustrating because I knew what i was saying and was confident with my future outcome hopes but just didn't get them across. Thankfully the tutors hopefully saw through it.

It is great practice as its almost what you would have to do in an interview situation so it prepares you for the real work. It also teaches how to get your ideas and communication across smoothly to a board of people!
It wasnt as good as I hoped but it did cover everything so I was pleased about that. Last ever so yeah!!

Brochure for final collection

We got to see a sneak preview of our final collection brochure for the college. I liked it allot and felt it was a strong brochure . we each had a tab of colour that would come out of our image and across the page. The colour was determined by our final photo by David lam as they are the ones going in the booklet. I had a gold strip..but felt it wasn't to gold rather a murky green! but its hard to get a pure metal looking gold so had to deal with it! I did look at other pantone colours that were available but decided not to change it

TOIL-FINAL 2 DESIGNS

This sleeve was little tricky until Claudette- a pattern cutting tutor showed me hoe easy it really was!!! I was pleased to now this in my future development of pattern cutting. I feel it works well, but need to be lowered slight and will have stiffening inside to keep its shape

PHOTOSHOOT BACK!!!!

We got our photos back last weds and I was so nervous as I hadn't a clue where other people did have a slight idea what theirs would look like!

I was so pleased with the out come. I loved my shoot and felt it worked really well. Saying that, I would have had more of a full shot as I wanted but he explained it was for the benefit of the cape I have designed, to show that off more. I also wished her hair was tied back but I'm am really pleased with it.

TOIL-FINAL 2 DESIGNS

TOILS of final two desigs, Im happy with both outcomes and I thought they would be harder then I thought! The arched sleeveless jacket was tricky but got it finally. Both I feel will work well the the meduim weight wool i chose to make them out off. I dont need to make the trousers up or the skirt for the designs as I have the trouser pattern already done and the skirt will be toiled straight on the manniquin, as I want it seamless.

SKETCHBOOK/FILE

I have been working on my sketchbook and file this week. Alongside this illustrations which I found a style that finally suits me. I like these pencil drawing i did but still needs to be refined. I feel updated with allot things but just a little behind with my sketchbook, so i need to make sure i keep on top of things

MP-Making

I'm a little behind but nothing to be concern bout I feel. As the crash got me a little behind I have decided to come back those things and keep track in my other stages. I feel on top of things. The metal panelling is on course along side the gold work embroidery so i hope it will all be OK. I still have tow more outfits to toil in the week coming so I shall do that as I'm waiting on the fabric form EDGAR.
