Styling Evaluation

The styling project has got to be one of the best projects ive ever done and also one of the projects I am most proud of! I have thoroughly enjoyed having free reign over everything and this has been a really fantastic opportunity to experiment with my interests as an individual. Through research I feel I have broadened my knowledge of paintings and discovered exactly what I like and don’t.

I think I have been successful in creating a challenge for myself as I chose a painting that was outdoors and had seven people in it. I have really enjoyed sourcing; being experimental and creative with resources as there was no budget. In total I spent £0.50 on a hat that I sourced at a car boot sale.

This project has enabled me to use and improve a variety of skills from photography to photoshop which has been a rather enjoyable challenge. I think my time planning has improved as I have had to work to a tight time scale and I think this is a really useful skill to have gained. The styling itself has been really fun and I can see myself doing more of this over the summer break. It has revealed that I would like to take on a supervising role next year to improve my CV and this project has been a great start into that field.

This part of the unit has really been more like fun rather than hard work and would recommend to anyone aspiring to be a designer this has been a thoroughly educating experience.
