Evaluation

Overall Im really happy with my body of work. Im happy that my trend boards clearly show the trends they represent and that the styling boards go well with each of the trend boards. My favourite trend has to be Romantic pastels, because the colours are fresh and fun, mixed with a really girly feel this is perfect trend for me.

When printing my trend and styling boards, I was disappointed by the quality of the University printers, I feel that the colours look dull and there are marks on the paper from where they have been through the printer. The picture quality doesn't look great either, even though I sourced my photos at the highest resolution I could, and edited them in photoshop correctly, I feel that the bad printing is to blame for this. So if I had to print any of this again, I would print it on Photo paper to make sure the colour came out correctly and so my photos looked sharp.

Overall, I have enjoyed this project- researching new and old trends, looking at forecasting sites, blogging (which Ive never done before and would like to continue) and styling my own photo shoot. The only thing I didn't enjoy was printing everything out!

Styling Board- Romantic Pastels

This is my final styling board for Romantic pastels. My main aim for the board was for it to be fun and make the audience feel happy, which i feel i have achieved, as my model is smiling and had fun on the shoot. Im glad i went with the jumping poses, because i think the are interesting to look at, and give the whole board a carefree feel to it- which is what pastel colours represent- spring and summer, when the sun is shining and it just makes everyone happier (hence why i added the sunglasses) if i where to do this shoot again I would love to have do it on a trampoline, so that my model could have done different poses in the air!!!
