Portfolio Week

For portfolio week I had a 1-2-1 with my tutor to help me develop my portfolio further to a standard for my interviews for other universities. I found it really helpful having another opinion and view on what I should put in or take out and the layout. Going through each page we found some pages and work that needed to be added to enhance the page to look better. I really didn’t like the pattern cutting page and really wanted to develop it further. My tutor said to add heads to the stand work and to change the layout of the page to move the images round. To have the stand work on one side and the process on the other side to make it clear to the viewer but to also add my own personal style.

I feel that this advice has really helped, as it has developed my work further and I really like the heads added to the top of the stand work, because it adds my own personal work so you can see that it was me that done it. He also said to add some more development through sketches to show the garment clearer and what my idea looks like, rather than from my collages. As sometimes its not clear what my idea is. By adding no colour to the drawings, identifies the silhouette which is what I want to come across when they look at my portfolio. It also makes it easier to see details such as zips and pockets. I really like having both collage and drawing on the same page so that the other universities can see how I work and what I can do. To develop this page further I need to add more developments with my drawings on that one design so they can see how I select and work from beginning to end.
