Today I messed around with the layout of my 9 piece collection and decided to photo copy the feathers onto my paper so it isn’t 3D and coming off my page.

This is another video of me designing one of my 9 piece collections, I love this one because all the sequins just make the dress come to life.

Today I started to design and add media to my 9 piece collection, I enjoyed creating this because I got to add all the pretty sequins which make it look very affective and really support my theme and also replicated my customer.

This is me getting ready today to shoot my garment, I tried to make my makeup match the energy of my garment so I tried to apply very vibrant colours and my friend was nice enough to braid my hair for me, braids are a very common trend in Jamaica so we decided to braid all my hair.

Today was the day I had my final photo shoot in college, I decided to model my garment because my ethnicity is Jamaican and my theme is Jamaican, it was very fun doing my makeup and using props for my photo shoot.

Yesterday was finally the day when I shot my photo shoot, this is my finished garment with the inspiration of (carnival) I choose to do my photo shoot in the middle off a road because carnivals always run on roads, We tried to go for the cultural Afro type hair style and we created that with chopstick hair curlers, the prop for this photo shoot was a Jamaican flag which symbolises the heart of where my theme comes from.

Today I wanted to experiment more with my theme so I hand embroidered a feather which supports my chosen theme.

Today I started to make the 3D elements for my garment, this is a video of me making 3D petals made out off cotton ready for me to stitch onto my garment and then ready to add gems onto them.

Today in Pauls class i produced a leaflet mock up based around my theme, i just messed about just to get used to what a leaflet based on my chosen theme may look like. making a magazine and a leaflet was really fun, just to mess around with pictures and writing and all of a sudden get a leaflet that looks really informed and real.

Today I started on my final garment for unit 3, I guided myself today with my method of construction for my garment, working with black cotton is 100% more harder than working with calico which I normally work with because it is vert difficult to find the notches to match them up.
