OUGD602 - Project Evaluation

This module has been my favourite of the year. Throughout the year PPP has been focusing about us and we have been learning more about ourselves. This year we have the chance to brand ourselves out and start getting used to the real world. 

A lot of positives happened for me throughout PPP. I have gained a bigger understanding of myself, the industry and where I see myself in the future. I have been working under Blood Brother since my internship. I went for a two week internship at Blood Brother and have learnt a lot of new techniques, methods and a bigger understanding of fashion design.  Since Blood Brother, I believe my quality of work has improved and I am getting more positive responses from clients that I have worked with. Blood Brother has taught me to be patient and to prepare myself for the industry as it is not easy. However, although the two weeks at Blood Brother were tough, it was an experience I won't forget. I am happy to say that Blood Brother have asked me to come back and work a further 3 months under their internship. 

In general I honestly didn't really struggle with PPP at all this year. It has been more of a pleasure than a challenge. Although I prefer working under difficult pressure, it was nice that I was already working with clients throughout the year which only made it easier to achieve my goals for PPP.  I believe the practical side of my business cards has been something that I have gained in the past year and have really enjoyed working with. I have working closely with a student from Leeds who works under a print company. I will be designing some designs for them in the foreseeable future which could mean more clients. 

I have really genuinely enjoyed working towards PPP and understanding my style and creativity. I have developed my own style which is something that I wrote in my first year that I thought I didn't have at the time. I have been working closely with clients throughout the year and have been aiming high towards starting my own clothing label. 

To conclude, I believe I am ready to start my jouney after university. I am prepared in terms of brand identity as well as having a steady client base towards Graphic Design. I intend to stick to Graphic Design within a more Fashion Design industry. I am looking forward to working with Blood Brother after university and I am grateful to the university for teaching me to be personal, professional with a self practice.
