For my exhibition I displayed the collection of bags,
postcards which included a brief description of the product, as I think from a
surface value some people may not have noticed the thermochromic feature,
therefore missing out on the excitement of the pieces, a sample book displaying
the range of possibilities and then on my wall space I displayed some of the
images from my photoshoots, along with three simple presentation boards which
show a really brief story of my work. Looking back on it I feel I could have
simplified what I had on display, for example maybe cutting it down just simply
one or two key images on the wall that illustrate the bags, instead of a small
collection of images, I feel like this would have made more of an impact on the
people visiting the gallery.
Overall through unit X I am pleased with my experience, I think
that I managed time well, produced a product that really pushed my boundaries
and gained a better understanding on what it takes to design for a client
brief. I think the main thing I learned from this unit is that in order to
develop work that pushes me as a textiles designer, I need to step out my
comfort zone, whether it be working with a new technique, process or material, I
think just something to push me down a new path has lead me to a success during
this project.I'm glad i chose to pursue the
Thermochromic dyes instead of the Hydrochromic, I think that the ideas i had in relation to the thermo dyes were far more advanced than i would have developed with the hydro dyes.I understand that there is still countless other things I could
have tested and tried and developed within this project, and there are still
many things I will try to still develop in my own time, but I think within the
given time frame I am happy with the things I chose to test and develop.
