evaluation Looking back at both of the fashion future projects, I enjoyed different aspects of each one for different reasons. The group project was interesting and more challenging as it was outside of my comfort zone; whereas I enjoyed researching into an area that I was personally more interested in for the individual project. Regarding working as a team, I believe that I was a very hard working member and chose more of a team leader role towards the end of the project. This was because I wanted to stick to the deadlines and produce a strong body of work, often doing other peoples jobs as well as my own. I found that it was interesting listening to other peoples opinions and ideas from collaborating with the other design course. The initial research was more rich in data than that of which I could have produced alone. I was happy with our teams final outcome; although the AFO final samples could have been more refined, which is something I would improve on if I was to complete the task again. I have learnt that I am a more kinetic learner so I prefer to be more hands on with my work, for example, drawing with different media and using photography to develop my print designs; rather than just doing it digitally from scratch. I work best when I am passionate about what I am producing so I will definitely be researching further into the topic of ‘abandoned graffiti’ over the summer break for my final year. I would like to experiment more with different media and drawing techniques to produce different prints for garments such as outerwear. I would also like to look into more fabric manipulation techniques so that the concept could be applied to a whole collection of garments.
