TUESDAY
We are just a week over the half way point, so an assessment was due. The day started with a brief self assessment. Taking into account; how much work overall we had completed, what resources we had used, any problems we have had to resolve so far and where we need to progress. Once that was completed, our work was peer assessed. Giving us all the opportunity to see where other students had taken their projects. It was then our tutors looked at our work, giving us a realistic idea of what the final mark of our projects will be. I was predicted a PASS, for this stage of the project, which I find completely fair.
This style of assessment was extremely useful. I had the opportunity to see what other people were doing and trying, which will be a massive help in pushing my own work forward. Also having an assessment from my tutors gave me a realistic idea of my the work I have currently complete, and what I need to do with the next stage of work.
Having said this, after my assessment, I know I need to be more experimental with my work, and some fabrication is definitely needed.
WEDNESDAY
After having had my assessment, and knowing I have to include fabric samples and experimentation, I decided, it would be best to finish off my designs as soon as possible so I could move on. I felt there were a few more designs my sketchbook needed, so I completed some more pages of roughs.
I now had more than enough designs to pick from, although there were other methods of design I could venture into. I started looking through magazines, and revisiting stories my nan had perviously told me. I felt I could dig a little deeper into them, and expand what I had done up to this point, since I felt everything I had done so far was only touching the surface.
This should help, connect my designs closer to my project concept, and give those looking into my project a better understanding of the tribute I am making.

THURSDAY
After gathering images from magazines, and exploring the information I already had further, I used Thursday to develop more designs.
These designs were a lot different compared to the ones I had already completed. These designs consisted of exploring; fabric, silhouette, shaping and explored my concept in more depth.
This really helped me, especially since I am now coming up to the process of having to finalise my work, and pick a final design.
These design pages have gone into so much more detail than anything I have done yet. I now have so much more option to make my final decision with.
