EVALUATION

This unit has been has a great opportunity to help define my context and working style. Having the chance to experiment with various yarns and techniques has not only made me feel confident in myself but also in my working style and context.

 

Mixing Dubied and Domestic techniques have helped to push my samples in terms of style, focusing on my target audience to design a more interesting surface, which then was developed into a garment. The process of designing and knitting a garment has been challenging, however seeing the end result has made the process extremely worth it. In the future I would be keen to design and knit an entire collection, focusing on refining my target audience and style.

 

In this unit I also aimed to develop my colour palette and add texture in my samples to create a more interesting surface. My samples have taken a more textured approach, and contrasted with a more developed colour palette add a more depth and visual excitement to this samples. As these samples influence a collection of designs, I have also enjoyed designing and illustrating a range of garments targeted at an audience of a certain genre and age. This has been an important part of my creative journey as these illustrations are my path of communication to not only myself but people trying viewing my work.

I feel that this unit has defined me as a designer, from pushing techniques and yarns to dying and designing. I know there are still area's in myself and my practise that need strengthening such as time management and confidence, but I feel I have come a long way looking back on the start of the year.
