Evaluation.

There have three different projects for myself throughout the practice unit I have had two for my own personal practice and developed my own live brief as I couldn’t find In which I could see my work fitting into. My first personal practice came from inspiration from flamingos and natural crystals I tried to develop 3D samples inspired by a variety of artists and designers working In different ways with different medias. I feel this collection of work never very quite followed and I feel this was down to a lack of context and inspiration eventually my work ran out of fuel I didn’t have enough images and drawings to work from. Because of this my samples became very distant from my drawings I feel I sort of lost my way. When it came to presenting this work I felt it really showed through the feedback that I received from members of staff as they didn’t quite understand where my ideas had come from. After this feedback I decided I needed to move on from this and take a different approach with my work. This is where I want onto my theme of preserving the past I feel I really found myself within this work I developed my own style tried new things and really worked hard to create samples in which I am proud to show. You can really see the difference in the quality of work from these two units. I aim to continue working on my theme of preserving the past throughout unit X I want to go back a step and look into other themes around this issue the only thing I would change If I could would be to play around with colour a little more. My first drawings for this unit I had many different colours involved and then I seem to just get rid of them all and work with this teal green and flamboyant pink. I personally like the colours but wish I had experimented more with other colours. My I live brief links in well with my previous work and again I am pleased with the final samples in which I developed and I could honestly see them being developed into cards. I feel that I achieved the task I set myself and they are in keeping with my target market which was a key aspect to this brief. If I was to continue with this work I would want to develop my own fabric backgrounds for them just so that they then had again another hand crafted aspect to them.  Overall the work in which I started off at the begging of the practice unit to the work I have developed at the end really shows a journey In which I went on. I started off very unsure of my work and this showed but by the end I am very proud of what I have produced and feel it’s a very strong body of work.
