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.
