Overall this is the most exciting project I have done since being at UEL. The whole module was well thought out and flowed, to gain an easy understanding of what was expected from us and how ideas evolved into the end product (the garments).
Before I started any of the research I had no idea who Rick Owens is and now feel like I could tell you what he eats for breakfast. I feel I have a full understanding of his inspirations and influences in which I believe have reflected in my final range and garments.
I feel I have achieved a lot from this module and gained a deeper knowledge on the importance of research before designing. The in class design classes helped me to free up my designing style and I will definitely bring this in to future projects.
My strengths in this module are researching and print designing. My lining design is one of the strongest components of my work. It reflects my own inspirations mixed with the influences of my design Rick Owens. When it came to researching I carried my camera everywhere I went, and took pictures that I thought I would inspire me or found interesting and unusual.
My weakness in this project is time keeping and sewing skills. Although I have improved drastically with sewing I feel there is always room for improvement especially at the standard I am at the minute. Over the next two years of university I hope to have made this weakness strength. With the time keeping I will tackle this with writing my own personal timetable at the beginning of each week and sticking to the schedule.
If I was to re-do this entire module again I would be more ambitious with my design for my garment and would stick to a tight timetable of work to allow myself enough time to finish each piece of work set before starting the next to avoiding catching up.
Overall I am very happy with my end result and look forward to progressing in the next module.
