Juxtaposition/ Structure and Shape: Self Evaluation

How well have you responded to the given brief?

I feel I have responded well to the brief. I did a lot of research into my two themes and felt I undertook them both. My final outcome incorporates both juxtaposition and structure and shape and I have completed a paper maquette, design development and idea generation.

How broad has your research been? Have you undertaken sufficient research?

I have completed primary research into juxtaposition on a research walk, research on the internet into juxtaposition in various areas (fashion, nature and sculpture) and research into structure and shape in fashion. I feel I could improve on my research by looking in the library rather than just on the internet.

Have you used your reflective journal and sketchbook as an integrated part of your project?

Both have been integral parts of my working process. I have reflected on my decisions and what I'm learning in my journal and my sketchbook contains all my research, idea generation and design development.

Have you been motivated and well organised? Have you worked as hard as you could/ should?

I have really enjoyed working on this project and have therefore been motivated throughout. I feel I organised my time well, even though I had to work a lot of the night before the deadline, but that was more due to the fact I had never made a garment before and had underestimated the time it would take.

Can you prove your commitment and organisation through entries in your reflective journal, timetables of planning documents?

I feel the amount of work I've produced proves I have been organised throughout the project, as does my meeting of the Thursday 12:30 deadline.

Have you finished the work that you set out to achieve or progressed beyond what you set out to achieve?

At first I didn't think I'd ever ben able to create an actual garment, but I did, and therefore I have gone far beyond what I set out to achieve.

Are you confident that you are able to make informed choices and decisions when solving problems?

I came across a few problems when creating my garment such as it being too small and the back design not fitting together as I'd hoped, but I was able to resolve both of these problems and still meet the deadline.

Do you have evidence of a sustained and committed approach to your work?

I think so. I feel I have completed a substantial amount of work for a three week project.
