Refinements and Conclusions

 

After printing in the print room I editing my scarf aking sure all the edges looked good and that they had a professional look about them. I then took some images of my scarf being worn so I got an idea of what it would look like worn on:

Overall I am really happy with how they look worn and think they will bring something new and exciting to the gift shop.

Overall I feel that one strength in my proposal of work is that scarves are a very popular product that are always selling in many shops. Particularly in the National trust shop, a lot of older wome will visit and be drawn to the scarves. I feel that my floral design is also a big strength because flowers are a very popular and well known design used in fashion and appeal to many people. I also think the colours are choosen well beause they will stand out in the gift shp and are also very appealing. I feel that a weakness in my proposal would be that I think I could have made my designs look more proffesional.

My proposal is appropriate for the context it was developed in because I wanted to make sure it would fit in with the Handmade in Britain section. I made sure I kept going back to my research and making sure it would fit in with my context of the gift shop.

I feel my work does sit alongside well in the professional field however I do also fee I could improve on this. When I researched into other hand made print designs they were quite similar to how mine looked. However I think I could have made my deigns look more professial by making sure there were no ink mistakes and that I took more time when printing the designs.

When it came to presenting my work at the final presentation I feel it went quite well however it could have also gone better. I made sure I described each step of my work through my boards and explained it as much as I could. Here is a photo of my boards in the presentation room:

Overal there are some ways I would have tackled the project differently. Firstly, I woud have looked more into the gardens and flowers and tried to have devloped my ideas further. Secondly, I would have made sure I stuck to one idea instead of changing all the time as then I would have had more time to develop my work.
