It was my first real experience of a university hand in, and it was a stressful/ daunting time. I really enjoyed the first semester, and learnt a lot in such a short period of time. However getting into the swing of the course and coping with the work load proved difficult for me, as it was such a huge step up from what I was previously doing. I managed to keep on top of my work throughout the module, and this really helped as I wasn't swamped with unfinished work towards hand in day. Of course I feel I could have submitted a better standard of work, but overall I was happy with the body of work I produced.
The hand in felt a lot more professional than what I was used to. I was nervous about submitting my critical appraisal which was done online. What if it didn't upload, or I placed it in the wrong area? It would be my fault and I wouldn't have passed the module, but a conformation email was sent which was very helpful. I also uploaded it a couple of days earlier than the required date, incase any problems arose.
As quickly as the first semester ended the second semester started, and we were thrown in and building up research. The brief for this semester was rather exciting. The first task was of course to visit first site and its surroundings, and chose a building that you took an interest in. I chose shoe world, a 70s building. We were to incorporate this era and firstsite into the jumpsuits which will be created in pairs. These finished garments will then be shown in our fashion show on the 15th May. During this project, we will also be designing a print collection which will then be presented to a team at firstsite, with the view to use the print on their products.
It seems an ideal brief for me, I have always been interested in the relationship between fashion and art, and feel its a very good starting point for research. Although I am nervous about working with a partner to create the jumpsuit, in some ways it will really help me and build my confidence working in a team.
