My 1950's Research





COLOUR!

HOUSEWIVES OF 1950TODAYS HOUSEWIVES!

PPRD

So...in PPRD this year we have to work on a project in a team (a mix of designers and promoters). We all got given an item from the past and have to work together to promote this and learn more about it!

So my team got a butter/cheese dish!

Having chosen as a team to go down the 1950's housewife route...now all we have to do is figure out how to do all the work for it! Hmmm.....

My Muse!



For my trend book we were advised to pick a muse which our target market would aspire to! Sienna Miller fits all my categories within my trend book! She dresses for comfort in boyfriend fit clothing, she has a very Bo-Ho look andddd shes veryyyy Eco and like to promote this! Perfect :)

A focus for my trend book!



One of my styles for the trend book is going to be Boyfriend fit clothing....and this garment is HUGE!

Design Packages!

I can feel the development of the design packages coming along!

Within my lessons with Jamie, I have learnt sooo much more about InDesign! Learning little elements at a time and shortcuts make it very easy to remember and each thing becomes so handy while actually using the package!

Kaledo...I had a quick lesson on this with Caroline and it was sooo good to see what I can do with it, It seems like it is going to be an easier way of drawing on the computer and I cant wait to learn more on this design package.

Photoshop.....I learnt how to cut around images!!! Finally, this is something I have always wondered...a simple feature that can leave more work looking more effective and professional, I finally pinned Jamie down to show me.....definitely going to be using this feature a lot!

So......Everything got a little more interesting!

Well, well, well, here I am again....blogging! After a veryyy long and relaxing Summer! It's been a long time but back to Uni I go! I have been back for a couple of week now....and ohhh my! what a hectic two weeks they have been!

So we got our brief, which at the initial look was exciting and at a real level which would increase the overall standard of my work! However, after starting the project...although it has not lost these elements, it become apparent to how much work we have to do to get to the final product!

I'm not going to lie....I panicked! A LOT! about working to the veryyy tight deadline and getting my head around the research. I decided that it's time to up the level of my work as the work I produced last year represented my work from education before University. So it's time to work work work!

Things I have learnt about myself so far:

I am indecisive....very much so, its time to change. I have to organise everything and decide everything for myself!

I panic wayyyy to much! I think I worry about everything....i mean.....EVERY.LITTLE.DETAIL! because.....

I over think things!

Right this unit is going to be my chance to change!!!!
