For me, this module was the most difficult of them all! I have always found literature my weakest skill so when I heard a 1,500-word essay was required I knew this project would need extra work. The final essay was to compare influences in fashion from historical and contemporary fashion designers.
When reading the brief I found it difficult to pull out pointers for what to cover in my essay.
First of all I gathered research. I used books, YouTube videos, images and websites. I found this the most interesting part of the project and learnt a lot about my chosen designers, which has strengthened my fashion knowledge for future reference. My next stage was to build an essay from this information. I can always find it easy to talk about points I am trying to make using evidence however struggle when it comes to wording my thoughts. When it came to referencing and the bibliography I crumbled I making the essay run smoothly. I completed the project in time for hand in. To improve on my writing I will read articles, reports and books to widen my vocabulary and strengthen my literature.
