•
Evaluation of previous projects
Review the projects I did through the year, I have already got a lot of skills and experience, and I have strong ability at creating interesting layouts and working with softwares. My final outcomes are all based on lots of experiments,researches and developments. In my Final Major Project, I will keep being creative and thinking the meaning of the theme in depth. Moreover, I should try more materials, spend more time on styling and display my fashion sense in different ways. I still need to manage the time in more detail and don’t miss presenting any crearive ideas. I realized it is quite important to record inspirations all the time and develop them to make my process stronger.

Contextual research
The first theme is 'Unsatisfying'. I got inspirations when I research for the filming project 'Imperfection'. In our life, there are always some moment we are not able to be satisfying, whether it is a trivial thing or a big event, simple and visual or abstract and psychological. This is a magic feeling, due to ‘unsatisfying’, our life have regret or annoy, but life also lost colour without this feeling. In different countries and cultures, many people always in the similar situation, I think this is a mystery of the universe. Our joy in living comes from this, and my fashion inspirations from then on.I believe this theme will work very well with fashion and I can do lots of things creative with it. The final peice will tell interesting stories through lookbook layout and fashion film, which will be prensented by modle's poses, action performance and styling.
I will go to museums and watch some exhibitions to gain some inspirations, such as IWM Duxford museum, and V&A museum in London. I will find ideas of styling in Fashion exhibition. In addition, I am going to take photos and videos about those unsatifying moments. I would like to interview some people to tell their unsatifying experiences and record their feelings and mood of those situation. And for the relevant fashion stying work, I will look through various magazines (e.g. PYLOT, Offblack) and decide the style of the modle and the actions for the shooting.

Techniques and presentation
Photography will be the main skill I use in this project. Additionally, I will use different software during the process, Photoshop to edit images, InDesign to make look book and Premeir to create a fashion film. My final presentation will show relationship between fashion and 'unsatisfying' in various ways. In the exhibition, I will play a fashion film to show my ideas of creative styling and show the theme 'unsatisfying' in a relax atomosphere. Moreover, I will display a look book with photo shoots layout, which show the actions, moods and styling.
• Evaluation Time managing is important, and I will keep planning the work on my time table to make sure that everything will be clear and not in rush. I will develop and reflect my work all the time by creating blog entries and adding stuff into my sketchbooks. During the research, I will find inspirations from museums, magazines, websites and I will record them down and put bibilography in order.

The second theme is 'Life is a game'. Game is a vital part in my childhood, both traditional game and online game are charming and they could always attracts me effectively. The purpose of game is simple, have fun. However, until we grow up, more and more people become serious, they are always under pressure and negative. In this project, I want to show that life is like a game, someone holding the playful attitude, someone very serious play this game, sometimes the life tricks on you. I want to express my idea through different outcomes and show people a playful stlye of fashion. When people are sad, I want to encourage them through my work, tell them ‘Nothing serious!’ and ‘Life is a game, play it.’ I would like to make my photo shoots interesting and share simple happiness to people who watch this.
I will go to museums and watch some exhibitions to gain some inspirations, such as IWM Duxford museum, and V&A museum in London. I will find ideas of styling in Fashion exhibition. In addition, I am going to take photos about people's lifedstyle and connect them to my theme. I would like to interview some people to tell their experiments about game and record their feelings and mood of those situation. And for the relevant fashion stying work, I will look through various magazines (e.g. PYLOT, Offblack) and decide the style of the modle and the actions for the shooting. What's more, I would like to research paintings and bring the photo shoots into two-dimensional styles to develop ideas about game.
