Portfoli-oh?

Okay so, on the 23rd November 2009 - which was Monday - Fashion year 0 students had to gather first at 9.45 am to drop off all of our Portfolios and Sketchbooks containing EVERYTHING that we have done since we started.

Just a short recap on the process, this series of projects - 11 projects to be exact - started in September 21st. Each week from that day, we were given at least one new project to work on. Plenty, I know. So, procrastination have been my worst enemy yet, my closest friend in the process of creating this first impression. Ah! First impression, it's the worst situation ever when you're trying to do everything right, but sometimes ended up over-thinking things; and created stress. Mental stress.

That Monday when we had to hand everything in was supposed to be the best day of my life, just because the burden is finally gone - at least for now. But wait... that's right! I also had a presentation to do, a group presentation. How was it, you asked?

D.I.S.A.S.T.E.R

I don't know if we can call this miscommunication, or lack of group chemistry, or something else; but, this was the worst presentation that I have ever done. We were supposed to analyse a quote from one designer, and after that we had to make a moodboard and a set of designs based on that quote, some sort of a visual analysis. And the moodboard and the designs were something that we - as a group - were really proud of. Well, I was really proud of them. But again, as I said before I don't know what to call this...let's just say, due to certain circumstances these designs and moodboard were not shown during the presentation - 'accidentally'. It all went so fast I couldn't even figure out the reason for it.

As you read this, you may think that I was just being stupid to complain about such a thing; it's because I didn't write the whole story to avoid any specifications - you may not know me, but I constantly feel bad about the little things that I do/didn't do. So, yeah, let's just say that it didn't turn out to be the best day of my life. Instead of feeling relieved, I got nervous... really nervous.

In order to make myself feel a bit better, I have been trying to find the silver lining from that day

...still working on it
