Okay, so my mock is tomorrow, and I have to learn the following things -

  • Analysing products (good and bad features, usability, quality of fabric and why the fabric was chosen)
  • The importance of design spec
  • Batch (10-1000) and mass (1000+) production
  • Recycling (6 R's and labels)
  • Info on John Galliano
  • Evaluation (on going and summing-up)
  • Testing products
  • Mood boards and inspiration
  • Primary and secondary research

How to rack up the points on design -
  • Brush up on graphical skills (proportion, shape, dimension, multiple views, line quality and colour-way)
  • Construction processes and design features
  • Ergonomic features
  • Innovation
  • Fabrics

Seams - open, french, double stitched, overlocked

Shaping - darts (single/double point), tucks, gathers, elasticated, drawings, castings

If you have a comment on what I write (not that I'm expecting many readers), I'd LOVE to hear from you, whether it's because you like my style or you think I've got my facts mixed up.

I will point out, however, that what I write is my opinion alone. I'm not an intentionally offensive person and write in a way I know will help me revise. If you do read or see anything which you feel is unacceptable, please let me know and I'll do my best to change or remove the offending post.
