Timed Assessment Final Images.

These are my final images from my timed assessment. Overall I was very pleased with the outcome and I think my designer did a good job in explaining the makeup to me. However, there wasn't that much explanation of how to tie the scarf which I had to practise myself. This did worry me and the day of assessment but I feel I did well to complete the look and I kept good time management finishing within 50mins. 

Timed Assessment Preparation.

For our timed assessment we have been partnered with people in our group who we dont usually work with. This is to test our skills in both understanding and communicating designs to others. We have 2 hours to create someone else's design including hair and makeup. We will be assessed on professionalism throughout and our ability to recreate a look we may not have seen before the day of action.

Here are the notes my partner sent me for the look I have to recreate. 

And these are the notes I sent my partner:

Evaluation.

Working on a blog has been helpful for recording research and showing inspiration from anywhere, especially videos. It has helped to annotate all work in a clear way because it does not seem as personal as a sketchbook and anyone, anywhere can view it. However, it limits the amount of drawings I have created because it did not feel natural to draw whilst posting research and development online. I was pleased with the outcome of my final images. I feel they reflect my research on all aspects of tribal life with a fashion style approach. At first I found it difficult to clearly understand the different qualities of a catwalk shoot compared to editorial, this became clearer through lectures and I feel I have designed my outcomes relevant to both of the separate needs. I experimented with new techniques such as creating texture with fuller’s earth, creating scarification and putting texture in the hair, I feel I presented my new skills learnt through my development and final designs. I also had issues with models I had chosen to use for my final images, they either let me down close to the date or did not work well when I used them for test shoots, this made it difficult for me to design my looks specific to a model type however I do not feel my designs struggled because of this. If I were to do this project again I would run a sketchbook along side my blog, allowing me to construct more creative drawings, I would also be definite I had chosen reliable models so I did not have to worry about them close to the day of shooting. 

Editorial Final Images.

Here are my final images from my editorial design. 

Editorial Face Charts.

Here are my face charts to illustrate what I am thinking about for my final editorial design.

This is the face chart of my final design. 

Editorial Design.

I'm going to outline exactly what I want from my editorial design so it is clear what my intentions are. 

Hair- I want the hair to show texture, I will use plaiting, wax, hair spray and also a variety of string to help me with this. 

Makeup- BOLD makeup. I want to use black against white and use terquoise to stripe across the forehead. I think using these three colours will be vibrant and bold. On the neck I want fullers earth covering her down to her chest and across her shoulders. This is also for texture. 

Styling- I will have my model in a black blazer with gold and terquoise necklaces hanging around her neck. I want her to look sharp. 

Editorial Model.

My model is changing AGAIN. Thankfully I have someone else to cover for me but this has become a massive inconvenience and I feel it has made me struggle with the design process of my editorial design. I hope that this isn't obvious in my final images and that they turn out just fine.
