Overall during these 5 weeks of intense designing for the deadline Magda was able to produce the presentation showing all the stages we went through to produce our set, due to all of us sending all the photographs we had taken throughout the whole process. However following on from when the professional photographs were taken of our set Magda was also able to make all the edits to get out final image at it’s highest standard which when looking and then they all looked amazing. With the final edits complete we were also able to produce a 3 double page spreads of our set with written work on which would look how it does in a magazine. Further into this project we had also took many videos where Mya was able to put together to show our whole process of our whole set where were able to present together when doing our presentation.
Reflection Post
Throughout this entire module of Interior Styling I have massively enjoyed learning what it takes to design a set for either a marketing or editorial content, especially when we had to produce our set out of recycled materials and paint which we were lucky enough to have donated to us. Looking back at the overall project for myself I believe that I have increased my knowledge greatly, due to when it came to the colour proportions and certain colours against others as with slight changes it could make the set look so much better. I also feel I have expanded my knowledge when it came to the use of pattern, texture and materials used in our set as at the start I wasn’t very confident on what the set would look like once finished however, I can now use this experience further down my path as an interior designer and also in future projects to come giving the best outcomes I possibly can.
When engaging with this module I enjoyed the fact that we would be working in groups, as I love to get different views of input from a range of people on a variety of different courses showing their design process. However, as a large group of eight I had found it very challenging as there would always be someone in the group that wouldn’t like something when everyone else would. Although the most annoying part would be when certain people wouldn’t help and give their input on what they thought of the design of the set, or even attend. Throughout this project I feel that myself, Grace, Yasmin and Chloe. M had given the most input throughout this project as a group, whilst Magda and Mya took in charge of the Video and Presentation as they were more experienced in these areas. However, when it came to listening in the group to what we all had to say I felt that we worked extremely well as a whole due to the fact that we wouldn’t move on from each section until all of us as a group agreed that we liked what we had done. By doing this I feel that when it came to the overall view on the set, we were all extremely happy and loved how the final outcome looked like.
Overall from this module I feel that we have strongly achieved the Empower Up style of S/S 20 in the theme of Miami Blocking as we were able to create a vibrant and bold colour palette whilst also including geometric shapes and lines whilst also including some natural curves. I also feel that having the floor yellow made our set striking linking into our theme as well. By having Sian, Anwen Peagrum (Interior Stylist) and Keith Davies (Photographer) input on how to improve our set, has been able to improve my knowledge more by developing their skills.
