I decided because I want to go into the foundation degree in art and design that I should show a variation in my work and show all the materials and processes that I have worked with in the previous two years in college. This double page spread is of my textiles and fashion work. Even though textiles is my weaker subject I still made good work to include in my portfolio. For the double page spread I included my seams, design sheets, fabric bodice and my paper bodice design. The best textile work I have done would be the seams. I like how they come together to form a series and they also look very professional in my portfolio. To improve my seams I had to neaten up the edges and ironed out any creases. I then had to pin them neatly onto plain white A1 paper and insert them into my portfolio. I think this shows that I can work with a range of textile processes and techniques. If I were to improve on them I would redo some because of the seams were not as straight as I would have liked. On the other side of my double page spread I created a busy but sophisticated layout. This included my fashion design drawings as a background and half of the fabric bodice along with the paper bodice design folded neatly and presented in packaging. I think using the design sheets as a background gives it the perfect depth. It shows the design ideas to the final idea. I love the packaging for my paper bodice. It looks very professional. I think there is a perfect balance of busyness between the two pages. I have one busy and one simplistic page, the different attractions help to give a sense of the different layouts I can produce. My only issue on the whole would be that the pages doesn't strike me. I think if I added more neutral colours It would help to draw more attention but overall I am very pleased with the final outcome.
