Illustration Work!
Today I've been doing my working drawings on Illustrator for my manifesto project and I think they have turned out well...
I'm trying to use Illustrator as much as I can because it is a good skill to practice and have in general.

Sportswear Is My Religion!
For my Mainfesto project I looked at sportwear and the urban culture as that is a huge passion of mine - I just love everything about it, the fashion, the brands, the music, the art, the history etc
Eco Sportswear?
I'm currently still collating all my research in my sketchbook for my Manifesto project...I started looking at eco fashion as this was an aspect that we had to include. Whilst doing my eco research I found out that Adidas do a lot of eco stuff which I found really interesting as I love Adidas and sportswear.They have produced a t shirt that was made out of a single piece of fabric so it reduces waste which I think is such a clever idea especially if you can get rid of unnecessary seams.
Deadlines Looming =/
So it's finally time for this Blogging brief to come to an end tomorrow and I haven't minded this project although I do think like I have forgotten something important or I haven't done enough blogs.
I have really found it hard to keep reminding myself about this blog but when I do I find it really useful because it's a good place to note and share inspirations and thoughts with everyone.
In an ideal world I would like to keep up with this blog after the project is finished because blogging is a huge part of the fashion industry now so it would be good to keep up with other blogs and keep uploading my own thoughts etc.

CV Time!
Apparently we need to include a copy of our CV for this Blogging project so here is an updated one that I have used in the past to help me find work... I can't figure out how to upload a document so I have copied and pasted it for now and I'll try figure it out

Personal
I am a very hard working person who has a good attitude so that helps me get on with whatever task I am set. I am a team player and get along well with other people. It has always been a big ambition of mine to work within the fashion world as it has always interested me. I believe that I am a quick learner and can adapt well to different scenarios.
Interests
As I am into fashion I like to draw a lot and I draw inspiration from music, television and my surroundings. I like watching television programmes that usually relate in some way to the fashion industry. I sometimes go out for a jog if not then I like to get on with my projects. When I’m back at home I like to walk my dog and catch up with family and friends.

Lacking Self Motivating And Confidence
I'm trying to crack on with my sketchbook but after a recent trip to my old college to catch up with my tutor and chat to all the students about their work and university life I'm really doubting myself and my ability - Looking at their work the standards are amazingly high and what I would consider uni standards and looking at my own work I feel like I have progressed since college and I'm doing work by myself to conquer that by reading illustration books and drawing but I feel like nothing is showing/working and I'm stuck!!
Rant over but in all seriousness time is going so quickly...First year is almost over.
