First year has seemed to gone by in a flash and it's a strange feeling to say that in a matter of weeks I'll be a second year student, already! Looking back at my first year as a FCP student I believe I have become more comfortable and confident surrounding projects I have created throughout the first year of the course.
STRENGTHS:
- Grasped the context of Harvard Referencing (to my surprise)
- Good visual development and structure
- Strong marketing theories
- Strong use of models
- Clear documentation of research
- Good use of cultural referencing
- Illustration ability is strong
- Frequent and reflective Blog
WHERE TO IMPROVE:
- Explore existing publications and layouts for inspiration for different designs
- Experiment with design features on my blog....don't be afraid of colour!
- Be more visual in my workbook
- Ensure my images are to highest quality
- Be more attentive and more familiar with consumer's needs
REFLECTION:
- To stay consistent, especially over the summer, I plan to not only keep up to date with reading materials, (magazines, books purchased), but also gain inspiration from attending exhibitions and galleries
- Widen my knowledge of the fashion industry by also exploring other areas of the industry, (marketing, design etc)
- Keep experimenting and improving my skills in Photoshop and Illustrator to enable me to progress and gain more skills
Overall, I feel I have developed an numerous amount of skills since joining FCP, though that may sound cliche I feel my approach to matters of giving presentations and creating digital files have become confident. Let's see what FCP2 brings!
