How did the development of your Presentation help in understanding the possibilities offered by your object. What sources did you use in researching your object and garment?

In what other ways did you respond to and investigate your object? (e.g. photography and drawing)

Who were you collaborating with? How did you share tasks? Do you think you communicated effectively together? Did you find this collaboration helpful?

Which designer/s did you look at? What appealed to you about their work?

What did you learn from looking at the designer/s work? Did their work influence your own garment designs later in the project?

What were your first ideas for your garment design? Did these bear much relation to your final solution?

What was it that appealed to you about the fashion illustrators you chose to research and respond to?

What did you learn from recreating the styles of the illustrators you looked at, and how did this help you to understand the techniques employed in fashion illustration?

How did you go about creating your own fashion illustrations – what processes did you employ in developing your final images? What appealed to you about the work of illustrators you researched?

Describe the process you went through to create your initial garment designs, and how you decided upon the one you chose to make.

What elements of your original garment did you retain and what was added/taken away?

Do you feel your final garment will work well with your collaborators? Did you maintain good communication throughout the project?

How do you think your piece will look on the catwalk and what will you need to do to style it properly in preparation for this?

How well did you manage your time and what you would do differently if you did this project again?
