500 word evaluation


This is just about how my project went, did I enjoy it, what would i do to improve etc.

Throughout this project I have faced a number of obstacles which haven’t exactly been easy. It wasn’t an interest to make a garment based upon everyday objects. Yet I can see why it is a huge part of fashion. It helped me to broaden my mind when it came to fashion. The idea that I could communicate my idea’s on life through a garment. Unfortunately it wasn’t an easy subject for me and I found it extremely difficult. I wouldn’t see myself as an imaginative person and making something that I see every day made me lose interest. I think I could improve on a lot in this project, even though I had no interest in doing so, it was clear I had no determination in this project and that is something I deeply regret. I should have put a lot more effort than what I did. In industry there aren’t always going to be topics you like, and don’t achieving what I’d of wished for in this project has set me back. I should have spent more time studying the whole aspect of recycle and the idea behind it, instead of researching only people who inspire me. Although I had done a few samples to the upcoming of my garment I should have produced more and shown how I had gotten to that stage. On the other hand the best part of the project was the fashion shoot; it was my first having a go at art directory and it was something I enjoyed. So from this project I can say I have learnt a lot and made a lot of mistakes. But now I can learn from these mistakes and make sure I do not make them again. But I have to be completely honest in this evaluation. I did not enjoy this project and cannot see this being a career or an interest of mine. I could have spent more time taking objects and drawing them and seeing them for what they truly are and the aspects behind them. I made my garment from curtains as I thought I needed something that would be easy to design from. And I think that was another mistake I made. I made my garment out of something I had no interest in and something that I see almost every day and it can become quite un-interesting.  As I was the first project back I found it extremely hard to get back into and I can assure I will not be making any of these mistakes again. I have gained skills, lost marks and a lot of respect in myself within this project. I failed myself and am very disappointed. I have learned to realise though that anything can become a fashion statement and that not everything has to be made from the obvious. But I have learned now that I am better with the right materials to create something new and exciting, rather than taking something old and making it into something different.
