Evaluation of Best work

Clients

All my outcomes have had different client needs that needed to be addressed when designing my final outcomes which were to be displayed in an exhibition or sent away to be examined.

Unit 1: Dockyard:

Due to the fact that this work was going to be held at the Historic Dockyard in our first exhibition, Sandra Delahoy our client said that we had to have an outcome that would make young teenagers want to visit the Dockyard.  It also had to fit in with its surroundings as it was being held in Slip 3, which we also had to consider any health and safety issues as well as respect for the age of the building and any problems that might occur during the exhibition.

I feel that this was achievable and I also feel that my outcome was on track to what Sandra had asked for. I think my outcome showed the history of the Dockyard as well as respect for the Slip 3 as I had wanted it to be hung at the centre columns but due to health and safety I had to reorganise my space. Although out of the two outcomes I feel that my first one (30 ft material) was the strongest and the one that would be most relevant o what my client wanted.

Unit 5 + 6: The Brook Theatre:

For the Brook Theatre our theme was “My Town” and our client was Lindsey Strange, Claire Griffiths and The Brook Theatre. They all had their separate needs but the main need was to reflect my town and its environment as well as having 2 disciplines and to make the outcome’s as creative as possible.

For this I thought it would be achievable although to start off with I did find it quiet difficult to come up with an outcome that would meet all these needs. I feel that I added heritage to my outcome as I showed the places – Dockyard – which was on the heritage list, as well as making my outcome as creative as possible. I feel I achieved the creativeness by Barneys outfits as although some of them for example Fort Amherst I wanted to make it as original as possible, I still was able to add my own 21^st century touches which I think added a nice touch.

For this outcome I had 3 disciplines.

· Textiles – uniform making.

· Photography – My outcome itself (Book as well as A3 mounted images)

· I was also a stylist. This means that I had to set design. I had to use these skills when producing my images to place into my book, as Barney had to be in the right place due to sun light as well as not being in the public’s way.

I still believe though I should have created more than 1 book as the public were fighting over it when they came up to my table. Although I only wanted one book to start off with, I feel that if I had made more then there would be a lot more interest when the room got really busy. But Apart from that I feel it went really well.

As for The Brook as my client, I feel my outcome was to their needs. It was Creative, as well as the only one whose work was positive about Chatham. I got good feedback from a couple of the team members who work at The Brook, how said my outcome was positive and very well put together. They enjoyed my outcome and thought it could be used as a tourist information package.

If I’m honest, I preferred our work to anybody else’s who exhibited with us, as I felt that paper on a wall wasn’t creative and it didn’t look like they had put a lot of hard work into it, whereas I know our group worked really hard to achieve our outcomes and I feel that overall we were the ones that met the client’s needs more.

Exam Work – Ghost Image:

For the exam our client was the examiners and their needs were to have links with communities and youth groups. Our title was “Local Identities’” which I found a little hard to think of an outcome for as I didn’t know that many famous people in Chatham. I also thought that if I did it on someone famous it could become boring.

For this outcome I feel strongly that I achieved what the examiners asked for. I produced an outcome with research that identified youth groups as ghost stories are always told my teenagers, as well as Halloween. I also produced an outcome that was relevant to Chatham as it was based on Fort Amherst. Our age group for it was 14-19 years olds which was similar to the other projects but obliviously we had a different title with each project, but i found that producing an outcome suitable for this age group easy.
