Project Conclusion

This is my overall all conclusion to my Elizabethan project.I have enjoyed this project hugely, from learning about the traditional Elizabethans,how much the Elizabethans have inspired today's culture to finally creating my contemporary Elizabethan look.

As i began research in September i had already started creating a look in my head, which slowly developed throughout the project into my final images which i did last week. i am very happy with them as i feel they have everything i had imagined from the very beginning. Also creating Georgia's designs and learning about all of her inspiration was amazing and it went really well.

I have found inspiration in places i never thought i would find any during this project from hair in my sink to my dinner, the Queen Elizabeth The First will always be in the back of my mind as a small part of inspiration for everything i do from now on.

Timed Asessment - My Design Final Images

After the assessment was finished we took the photos of the look and they came out so perfectly I am so happy with the work Georgia has done to follow my designs, they look amazing and express everything I was trying to show when I put together all my inspiration and influences thought out this project.

Practicing My Designs

Me and Georgia decided to Practice my finished look lots of times before the times assessment so that we were prepared when Monday came around and there was nothing to worry about. these are some images from when we practiced, every time we practiced the better Georgia got at creating exactly what i wanted, so that buy the time we did our final practice it was perfect and also we had time to spare!

Inspiration mood Board

Mood board

I have decided to create a mood board that links all of my inspiration for my final look from over the semester before the assessment. This mood board captures all different forms of influence!

Starting obliviously with Queen Elizabeth, from all my research this image is my favorite of her the orange colours and her ginger flowing hair reflect everything about the Elizabethans, and there royal colors. But as i wanted something a little bit more outside the box other than just using one form of inspiration and twisting it slightly.

i went into researching harajuku girls in japan, as they use alot of decoration in there hair much like Queen Elizabeth used to except instead if pearls, i wanted to use flowers as a sign of innocence, which relates to the motley crew lyrics i have found saying about the flowers and razors in her hair show innocence, Elizabeth may have been innocent but she had a power as sharp as razor blades. So by using buns as the main feature on top of the head surrounded by flowers, and also spraying the hair gold, i am incorporating the harajuku influences with the buns on top of the head, with loads of decoration, but the flowers show Elizabeth's innocence and the gold shows royalty. The buns on top also resemble my New Elizabethan influences which was George Lucas, the writer of start wars, the hair shows aspects of princess Lai's hair in the films.

Then the pin curls around the face are a Elizabethan Tradition.

250 Word Self project Evaluation

On receiving Georgia’s face charts, she gave me excellent instructions and diagrams to follow which made the whole task a lot easier from the beginning. We practiced many times leading up to the assessment each time becoming better and better at creating the full look. 

During the timed assessment, I felt very pressured and tense but after creating the full hair design with no mistakes or panicking, I feel I worked to my full potential even though it was slightly changed at the least minute by Georgia adding a headdress to the design. When it came to the make-up, I created the base, then it came to the part which I struggled with the most which was the eye brows. Initially I made them uneven and had to rub them out and start again. Looking back I should have practiced the eye brows a little more than the rest of the look which I felt very confident with leading up to the assessment. I managed to do the rest of the make-up with no mistakes. Although I was still making small adjustments when there were only thirty seconds to go, I couldn't have worked any faster throughout the whole assessment without making  mistakes or missing parts out and I am confident that the last second alterations and perfections enhanced the overall outcome. Personally I am very pleased with myself and my final creation as I never thought in the first semester of being here I would be able to create something I’m so proud of that I didn't even design.

Final Images - Gorgias

Timed assessment - Georgia design

These are the final images from the times assessment where i had to create gorgias designs on her in a time limit which was of one and a half hours not including the time we had to take the photos of the finished look.

The assessment went very well with minimum panic's and mostly calm behavior. I am very proud with the completed look with the hair and the make-up expressing exactly what she had asked of me.
