Project Layout

·  Number all of your pages

·  Proper sentences must be used

·  There should be no punctuation, grammar or spelling errors

·  Ideally, your work will be word processed

·  If hand-written, use lined A4 paper and write in pen

Assessment

At least ONE of your designs will be observed by your assessor but you will need to design, produce and evaluate a further TWO images.

Remember, if you are observed for all THREE, this evidence can also be used for observations under GH19 Creative Styling and Dressing and GH20 Dress Long Hair.

·  G18 Promoting Services or Products

·  G21 Hairdressing Consultations

·  GH16 Cutting Techniques

·  GH18 Colour Correction

Task 1 - Design Research Example

1.1 Using a range of sources, research ideas for your image theme

1.2 Make a list of the research sources you used.

Your list of resources may look something like this:

Mario’s Research Sources Used
Websites / www.fashion.net/
www.fashionunited.co.uk/
www.clothes-junkie.com/
www.amywinehouse.com/
www.hants.gov.uk/milestones
www.beyondretro.com
Magazines / Vogue, Vanity Fair
Interview with a Singer / I interviewed the lead singer of a band performing at a local pub. She was a bit like Amy Whitehouse and Paloma Faith. I took some pictures of her and these are included on the mood board.
Brighton Lanes,
West Sussex / I visited several vintage clothing and fabric shops in Brighton Lanes. Swatches of fabric are included on the mood board as well as photos of the sales staff and shop fronts.
Milestones Museum, Basingstoke / This is a Living History Museum so I was able to get really close to the past by talking with the museum’s staff. Snippets of these conversations are included on the mood board.
Colour Charts / I went to B&Q and picked up a handful of colour charts for emulsion. I used these to select a group of colours that reflected my retro theme and these have been matched to the fabric samples on the mood board.

Task 1 - Evidence

1.1 and 1.2 Add the research sources you used for each activity to the charts below, adding more rows as necessary.
