Project Evaluation
This project to celebrate and promote diversity in the human
form has been an eye opening one. Until now I hadn't thought much into the lack
of diverse models in the fashion industry and was shocked to see the lack of
varied models used. I've realised how hard it is for a model that isn't the
typical norm in today's society to make a successful career in this industry.
At the beginning of this project I struggled to find inspiration as I wanted to
think outside the box but wasn't sure on what path to take. I was inspired by
so much it was hard to whittle it down to what I wanted exactly.
Over the course of this project I have felt I have learnt some very valuable techniques and methods used within the make-up industry. Each technical session I feel I have gained something useful that I can take with me in my future career. A couple of technical sessions I was unable to attend due to sickness and family issues which is unfortunate but the ones I was able to attend I found really interesting and constructive.
I've really enjoyed the process of creating my three final looks and seeing my designs as a final outcome was really satisfying. My favourite out of the three looks I created for this project is my transgendered one. Convincing my brother to model for me was no easy task! But in the end he cooperated in a professional manner and I was able to turn my designs into a reality.
If I was given the chance to redo this project what I would do differently is to manage my time more effectively. Although we were given a long time frame to complete this project the time flew by and before I knew it the deadline was upon me, which resulted in not being able to include some inspirational research that I had gathered.
My final images are exactly how I envisaged them and I'm really pleased with the final result. As a whole this project was really enjoyable and educational for me.
