UNIT X - 22/5/14

Over the final week of the project my work has begun to come together. The most exciting and challenging part of this project has been designing my work for the Vertical Gallery. The opportunity to be able to realise my ideas has been very beneficial as I have never created work on this scale before and there have been many factors to consider that I had not thought about before. I am now looking forward to making and installing the work and to see how the final piece will turn out for the degree show.

Alongside this I have continued to create samples, with the intention of being for a interior wall piece. The samples have become very geometric and this is a element that I would like to develop, both in my textile samples and drawings. 

The drawing side to my work has been particular enjoyable and informative for this project. I believe this is because it is a quicker process in which to create work and generate ideas as at times hand sewing and embellishing the fabrics can be a lengthy process to achieve the results required. 

The combination of using the laser cutter and hand embroidery is proving interesting and I feel there is scope for developing the combination of a machine led process with hand processes.

Furthermore, I have completed my website and I am happy with how it has turned out. http://alixdessain.wix.com/alix I feel that it shows my style of work and the range of work I produce. Alongside this I have created business cards that will be ready in time for the degree show.

Finally, I have been fortunate in securing an internship for 6 weeks over the summer for Coops London. I am now looking forward to learning more about working for a design company and seeing all aspects of how a creative design business runs.
