Introductions can be tough since there are pressures like creating a good impression and at the same time coming off as a chilled out but studious and intelligent individual, BUT, I will break this writer’s block.

Week 14 +15: Reviews and Reviews
These 2 weeks we prepped for our reviews and had them during class where we spoke about the process we followed, outcomes achieved, difficulties faced, and everything on the same lines.
Week 15: Reviews!
We displayed all of our work today. We thought of adding newspapers as our back ground for we’ve mainly covered political events and it only makes sense for us to do it that way. These are some of the documentation photographs we clicked on the way and images of our final cardboard.

Week 13: Refining and Understanding
Last week, I got stuck on understanding how to go about the project in terms of making it digital or analogue, or how to understand the brand, etc. So in class, we clarified that I could look at changing 2 aspects – print and colour in 2 garments respectively. I could select any 2 styles…
Week 13: Research
