During
this project I have learned a lot of technical skills as well as
learning the importance of working within a team and taking
direction. It also proved that once I learn a technique it needs to
be practiced over and over as you will end up forgetting how to do
things, practice makes perfect!
It
was interesting to learn more about the history of Berlin as history
as a whole is something that interests me quite a lot. Without the
research I did I wouldn't have been able to create such a
historically accurate image for my chosen character and I feel that I
managed to achieve this. I'm really pleased with the results of my
design and my partners and the final images look great.
Me
and Lee-ann worked really well as a team and she made it very easy
for me to give her direction when creating the final image. We chose
the same character and our designs ended up being quite similar which
probably helped when recreating each others designs but I think this
just shows we both have a clear understanding of how women would have
worn their make-up in the 1930s. I really enjoyed Seema's tutorial of
how to create a curly 1930s bob and it's also something I didn't know
how to do before, the results of my wig I created for my design
turned out great and I'm really pleased with myself.
I
particularly enjoyed learning about Club Culture, I've been a huge
fan of Rupauls Drag Race for a while now so it was great to learn
more about how it all started. The contemporary version gave us a
chance to be really creative and more or less come up with any design
we wanted but I don't think I went outside the box enough. I found it
quite hard to make it look contemporary without taking away the
character and historical references so If I could do it again I don't
think I would have chose The Emcee.
I
have felt under pressure quite a lot during this term, I definitely
need to stop being so self critical and learn to balance my time more
especially as we will be going into the 3rd year soon! I
get stressed out quite easily and each teacher has said that to me so
I would like to change my attitude next term and remember that I'm
still learning and as long as I'm trying my best I shouldn't be
disheartened.
Overall
I have enjoyed this term and I know a considerable amount more than
I did last year, next year I hope to up my game and be more creative
as I don't think my designs were at there potential. Research is a
really important part of creating any design as it's true that we get
inspiration from all periods of time before us so I would really like
to look more into history and see what kind of knowledge and
inspiration I can gain.
