I'm pleased with how my Unit 3 final exhibition came together. Painting the wooden wall white, and making the shelf for my sketchbooks transformed the entire space into something with a much richer context and a fuller understanding for the viewer.
Making the decision to arrange the three costume/ character designs was pretty difficult. I had tried vertical, horizontal, diagonal and random arrangements but I feel i chose the right one. Incorporating the sketchbook into the exhibit was important for me because it enabled he viewer to see the process behind my designs, the way in which I work as well as the technicalities of the costume designs which are hard to understand from the A3 drawings.
It was a great thing to collaborate with the rest of the class in getting the room ready for the exhibition, it was a stressful week but we helped each other with our problems and it was such a good feeling to see it all coming together. Being around such impressive work in such a range of techniques and design approaches has really inspired me and given me a greater desire to experiment outside my comfort zone.
