Final Major Project - Final Evaluation

Overall I feel that my Final Major Project was very successful, i have a range of different primary and secondary research in which I explored a whole range of different Cultural patterns and no cultural patterns which i found very inspiring coming up with designs that i could then manipulate and change into being my final design.I found it quite hard to stick to my original project brief that i had written myself, for i originally wanted to create wallpaper for three different cultures but during my research it was quite clear to me that i would not be able to do this as i did not feel strongly and inspired enough by three different patterns, the only two patterns that really did stand out and inspire me was Aztec and Mehndi.I tried to stick to my action plan as closely as i could but this started to become hard towards the end of my project as the prints were taking alot longer then i thought to try, which was a problem when i was printing them straight into my sketchbook and this was also a problem when it came to printing my final Aztec piece as i need to have three different colour prints layered on top of each other so each layer could not be printed till the previous one was dry or it would just ruin the print. I also used my blog to explain my thoughts and talked about the problem's that i came across as I went through the project more thoroughly then my sketchbook. I have really enjoyed my final major project as i really like working with patterns and some of the patterns i found were very interesting to me and inspired me alot, I also really enjoy using the printing hand printing methods, I think i have developed skill in making a repeat pattern which i have struggled at before on previous projects but i feel that in this project my repeat patterns were very successful.I am very pleased with my final major project, i think if i was going to do anything differently i would like to either make a small sample booklet or make another sheet of wallpaper for both of my designs maybe in different colours or layed out in a different way but still being a repeat pattern, but other then that i am very happy with my final major project and i think i have a successful outcome.
