Throughout
this project 'Good bye to Berlin' I feel that I have been
consistently engaged into the amazingly diverse History of Weimar
Berlin during the 1920-30s as this is something that I have found
really interesting and intriguing from beginning to end. I have
really enjoyed the whole concept of this project as it stands for
something that I do really believe in; bigger models on the catwalks
– real women! Personally, I am all for bringing bigger women back
onto our catwalks to make everyone feel good about themselves again
like women did before the media started to take over our lives. We
need to re-create the humans 'perfect' body image in order to improve
peoples lives. Over the past years as I was growing up, I have
struggled with my body image, feeling different and always comparing
myself to all of the other girls my age because of the way that
people made me feel.
I
think that my Technical skills have improved massively along with my
confidence when applying the make-up on to a models face which I am
really pleased about as this is something that I struggled with
during my first year which held me back from doing certain events or
work experience that I had the chance to work on. Another thing that
I have improved on a lot this year is my time management. Last year I
struggled to have everything completed by the final deadlines as I
left many things to do last minute which I have swayed away from this
year. Doing little bits of work more often is a much less stressful
way of completing a set project as I had troubles with my stress
levels at the end of my first year.
There
is always room for improvement in everyone's work, and I think that
mine is definitely in my hair styling skills. I have always been
better a designing and creating make-up designs, but never practise
with hair enough to improve on my skills. This is something that I am
going to change for my next project as I want to be able to create an
incredible masterpiece for my future final looks. Another thing that
I think I need to improve on and build confidence to do in my next
projects is to be braver with my model choice, and start to ask
people who I don't necessarily know, but who I think would look
perfect to fit my final looks.
I
have loved the diverse range in this project as it has made me feel
much better about myself as a person and has made me appreciate my
uniqueness rather than always wanting to be someone else other than
myself. I have always know that you should always be yourself and
never try to be something or someone that your not, although with the
media drilling images into our heads in every way they can, this has
proven to be an issue for people leading to fatal easting disorders
such as Anorexia. This project has been a major eye opener and has
taught me a lot about myself and others individuality.
