Our Manifesto project is in full swing now, we’ve only a week and a bit until we have to present our final ideas!! I’m feeling ok about it at the moment but I’ve got plenty to do and I'm just at the point of considering my designs from a more practical angle such as how I would make the garments and what fabric I would use etc.
On Friday we took part in a jersey workshop and were shown how to work with jersey as a fabric. We were shown how to make the different features of a long sleeve t-shirt which will be making within the next few weeks using the pattern we produced using Lectra.
As well as this, on Tuesday we presented our powerpoint presentations on our chosen fashion capital this week. The presentation went ok and I have to say I'm very glad it's out of the way :-) however it could be improved in several ways. For example, we could have made the visual aspect of the presentation more interesting for the audience by including more pictures/photos, making the slides more aesthetically pleasing and possibly including video's or animation. The audience also made the comment that we could have made the presentation more personal to us. I think this is fair comment however I'm not totally sure how we would have gone about it, none of us had a particular connection to a certain place! We simply chose to base our presentation on Milan because we didn't know much about it. I'm not a huge fan of the research side of the presentation as it's hard to identify exactly what is accurate information.
