Work Evaluation

My research is about Tornado and i collect and information from the internet, news papers, magazines, i designed some images and sew samples.
From my research I've learned a lot about Post Apocalyptic themes and about facts and fiction from my theme which is Tornado.

For this problem the basics of my ideas was to make a post apocalyptic garment that is probably unwearable, but then i changed my idea into making something from recycling stuff.
For this project i didn't really have a plan as such from the beginning, as i wasn't really undestanding the project properly, then i started to take it step by step by writting target for each week in order to finish my work.

I've got my source material from recycled clothes and paper, i chose this because i wanted it to relate to my theme, as in my story the tornado whips everything away, people are only wearing what's available there.

For my theme i decided to knit and saw, while using expandex as well, this is because i want to create an old, and recycled look for my garment but at the same time keep it beautiful.
From my original idea to my final design there were a complete change, because i realised that my design at the time was not going to work, so i changed all my design ideas but i still kelt the them.

My tutor told me to research more designers and do more sample to help to orientate me to what kind of design i want to do.
on my final design, what i consider as my strength is my fabric manipulation, as i am using expandex and I think it makes my garment a little a bit different to a normal garment.
What ii consider as my weakness on my final design is my design, because even though I like the design, I found it difficult too draw it properly.

If i had to do this project again, i would probably change my theme to something that i am more familiar to than something i have to learn about, because at least it would be easy to think of designs and ideas
