Week 25 - Final Major Project - Week 4

TUESDAY 

Unfortunately, I was very unwell during the weekend just gone. Due to this, I was not able to continue with my work over the weekend. With this in mind, it was very important I sped up the process and continued to work through my design work. This meant doing more stand work. I always find, the more stand work I complete the better. This will give me more variety when it comes to sketching out my designs, and therefore more variety when it comes to pick  a garment to make. 

It is a massive step back that I had to take the weekend off. But unfortunately, with a project that takes 8 weeks to complete, things like this are bound to happen at some point. The best thing I can do now is carry on, and make up for the work I should have completed. This means more stand work and designs have to be made!

... continued to WEDNESDAY

As well as using my day to carry on with yesterdays work, I spent the afternoon having a one to one tutorial with my tutor. My tutor and I, discussed the comments made about my work, from the session last week, and spoke about how it would be best for me to move forward. 

Obviously, the lack of design work was discussed. We also said; it would be a good idea for me to look into patterns, and a nice side to my main project could be a small photo album I make myself. 

Leaving my tutorial, I felt confident in where I wanted my project to go. I was also, thankful for the ideas on what to do next and how to expand my project. 

THURSDAY

By Thursday, I had done more than enough work on the stands. It was time to start working on the designs. Luckily I had loads of photos of stand work, to design form. This made the design process very easy. 

I have completed page, after page, after page of design, and still plan to do more. Despite doing a lot of stand work, I could still do more and therefore complete more designs. This is very beneficial to me, because I can always see the improvement in my work with the more stand work I complete. 

However, despite stand work and designs being important, I also need to complete patterns and my photo album. This will provide another type of media to my project, and make it more interesting to those viewing it.
