Inspiration =]

So I am working hard on my Manifesto project and re-doing my mood board on Photoshop instead of on paper as I prefer the results.. I think I am done with it but I'm not a hundred per cent happy with it so I asked my friends Max, Kayleigh and Tara their opinion on it.. Max said that it looked "sick" and Kayleigh liked it however Tara said it may be too busy so I am not so sure of what to think, I know I should stick to my instinct but I believe it is good to get your peers opinions as they are not working on the project so they aren't invested in it.

Here it is, whether or not it changes that depends...
Whilst doing this, Max told me about a graffiti artist called Cope2 who has done work for Adidas and Converse amongst others; his work blew me away so very glad I was told about him. So if you ever read this Max, Thank you very much =]

Rob Ryan!


I just love his work, It is so romantic and delicate. They are paper cuts and he also uses them for screen prints, I think he is so talented.

Motivation!


Yesterday I was flicking through my portfolio which has work in it from my ND Fashion college course and it has really motivated me to crack on with uni work and produce something I am proud of because no matter what I was going through during my time at college at the end of the day I still worked hard and produced work that I am proud of and I am ashamed to say that as it stands at the minute I am not that proud of my uni work =/

So with saying that it is time to crack on with my Manifesto project which I think if I put in the work it is definitely something I can be proud of....

Lectra!


So we have been doing a unit about Lectra and jersey since Christmas and I must say I have absolutely loved it and I will actually miss having those lessons so I definately want to carry on expanding my skills.

It is our deadline tomorrow at 4 but I am ready for it so I am glad of that, I hope that I do well at this unit.

I have loved working with jersey because I have worked with it in the past so I have found it easy, but I've learnt it's always good to refresh your skills and knowledge.

Hello, My Name Is Hannah Berry And I Have A Problem With Lack Of Blogging...

It's been a while since I've done this so I feel like just starting all over again with it so I can get back on track and make everything look good but I suppose that defies the whole point as I will have tons of blogs all on one date?!

So here's a little catch up with all my thoughts over the past almost 4 months I have forgotten to blog;

I had real trouble with this course at first to the point that I wanted to transfer as I couldn't even stand going in for half a day let alone a whole day, I was so frustrated and I couldn't see the point in it all but at last I have found the light and things are looking up! Hurrah!

We got marks back for our first two projects and both of which I am disappointed with, especially Pattern Cutting, I got 59 for both units which is a pass but I knew I could do a lot better but I think I had resigned myself to the fact I was going to transfer so what was the point, and I know it shouldn't have affected me like that but it did and I am extremely annoyed at myself.
