It is coming to the end of my final year in level 5 and time to start my final negotiated brief. Before I start the project I have to determine which route I want to take the project in. Evidence of this stage covers the first learning outcome. The past couple of weeks have involved many team tasks to help broaden my options. Self-evaluation, mind mapping and researching are all methods I had used to generate a concept for this project. One exersize involved picking a random image and researching further and further into that image to show how many options there is available to create your project around. Using the results from these exercises, I then had to generate 3 rough ideas for this project. I had two strong ideas. My first was inspired by an editorial shoot found in Stylist magazine. The basis of the project would be to style a photoshoot that looked couture but was actually created with charity shop clothes. My second idea was inspired by my mam and our dream of owning an accessories brand similar to all saints. I used Prezi to present my ideas to peers for feedback. It was a 50/50 vote on which idea they liked better. My heart was set on the styling project. While some peers though it was great, others questioned the purpose of the project. This feedback made me doubt myself. I then spoke to my lecturer for some advice on which to choose. She also loved the idea of my styling project. Her feedback was ‘the project does not need to have a purpose it could simply be a beautiful coffee table book filled with stylist shots’. This was what I needed to hear to give me confidence for this project. I am now going ahead with the stylist project. In two weeks’ time I need a proposal, mood board and gant chart for the project.
