The BriZsh racing company Worked for the new start-‐up company ‘BriZsh Racing Company’ were several tasks were performed. The iniZal task for the company was to design and eventually manufacture a jacket to help start up there company. To achieve the iniZal outcome several things had to be considered and researched. The starZng point to the project was to gather ideas by doing some trend hunZng, visiZng the streets and shops of Saville Row and doing further research on blogs, pinterest and WGSN. The research came together and was developed further using my CAD skills on photoshop and illustrator by developing concept boards and mood boards to display my ideas. Clients and buyers were presented my ideas to give feedback for my final designs of my garment and my accessory. Once the final designs were finalised tech drawings were developed on illustrator for specificaZon. Once the specificaZon was completed, the pakern for my jacket was made. Manufactured one of garments and accessory. Personal and Technical Skills Good machine sewing Good knowledge of the Adobe suite CAD and CAM skills
