Improvements and Decisions

What am I doing well and what I can change? 
I feel the year was very successful and I learnt a variety of new skills and learning how to work to the brief. I think I do work to the brief well however I feel I struggle with pushing my ideas out further. Sometimes I tend to stick with the safe option knowing it will work however now I need to try and think outside the box and push my ideas and creativity further. I think I do need to explore more ideas and really push the boat out to get creative. I think when going to the 1-1s with my tutor and receiving feedback really strengthened me to see what I need to improve on and what I need to include more of.  I think the whole year have been a complete experience for me and I've definitely learnt a lot and can see what I need to do. I think what I can improve on or change is developing my work more, creating more ideas and really getting creative with the brief/unit. I think time managing is one of my high points, I do try and equalise my work load and within the timed assessments I work well to completing it in the specified time. 


What would I do differently if I had the chance?-
I think I would try and work with more people when partnering up and also try to experiment with looks more and creating a variety of looks to develop further. I think I would like to get into other projects more and collaborate with different from different groups and courses. I think I always do push myself very hard to receive a good outcome and I feel 1-1s with my tutor of what I need to do more of and how I can achieve more really drives me to try harder which is a big influence to the decisions I make. I think there are always areas I could improve on and in certain brief my work shows my strengths and what I'm not so go at. I think if I could say there was one thing that I would like to re-do or change I could say my Miss Havisham look. I think the outcome was how the design was however I'm not so sure I liked the look and wasn't very proud of what I created. I think it's because I struggled to think of idea as I wasn't happy with the ones I created so I had to chose one and go with it. I feel I need to give myself enough time to practice the look to make sure I'm happy with the outcome.

What was my most successful moments during the year?
I think I had my fair share of ups and downs this year however I feel to me one of my most successful moments was when I was paired up with Beth for the Elizabethan look. Her hair was completely braided and synthetic so I wouldn't apply any heat so it was all structure and technique based. The outcome I was extremely pleased with and felt this was a successful moment for me as I previously have no hair experience. I was also very please with my walking dead 'Quentin' look as I feel I don't have the greatest talent using prosethics however after many sessions of practice I was rather proud of the outcome of the look.

Feedback comments	Jasmine – you have tackled this unit in a mature and professional manner – well done.  Your ideas and concept are clear to see through your mood boards, and your final images are well thought out and presented.  You have taken on any comments made during seminar and tutorial discussions and your retouching skills have really progressed.  One point – the hair on your fragrance advert looks a little dense at the top, this could be down to lighting or the retouching…But overall you have created a very good set of images.
