This time it was to be a little bit different, working within a group- with three others, which at first was very daunting, as I have never really worked in a group before-each with different ideas, different methods of working, different styles of design. However, after we started to put our thoughts together, it soon came to show that we worked really well, each bringing something different to the group and helping to add to our final outcomes.
From our original summer work sheets, we found that each of us has similar ideas that we could take further into our designs. We wanted to focus upon childlike themes, but giving them an adult tone and feel to the final designs.
On a personal level, the workload within this unit, I found to be huge, I struggled at times with planning what to do and for when, but also feel I wasn't as stressed as I have been in previous units.
My final outcome was for an evening wear look, something that would been worn on a night out for cocktails or a bar...
We also did a photo shoot at Kirkstall Abbey to bring our final garments together, focusing upon the raw bricks and old buildings against our bright, striking garments...
I really enjoyed this unit as I learnt how to work well within a team- dividing time and tasks between others and also researched into newer, more expensive materials and fabrics that I can use within other units...
