Costume Final
Making of:
Thoughts:
At the beginning I was wondering "Why? Why make a costume in Illustration?". I'm still wondering why. I understand the design part that we had to do for the creature, but... why?
I wont lie that it was fun to do the costume, play around with materials and literally going trough garbage bins just so that i wouldn't spend too much money on shopping (this part is excluded from my fun perspective, I felt like a tramp)
In the end of this project I dont know what i learned, maybe I just got a bit looser and let things happen,cause has it can be seen, the actual bodysuit has some changes in comparison to the design (most of this because we had to do this in 3 days).
This is CCA (BA I).

Project: Author 1 Genesis
In this project we are supposed to design a creature based on our own 5 primary needs. Then this creature will be used as a reference to create a costume that will cover the its creator from head to toe.
My 5 primary needs are:
- League of Legends (games)
- Drawing
- Dogs
- Mysticism
- Cartoons
The first thing that came to my mind was a creature that would have dog features, and maybe horns... but then after surfing trough images of other creatures ( links in the end) and looking trough my list of needs i came up with the following:
A mysterious creature with cartoony eyes, with a hat hiding his facial features. With a big rock like belly that would have some sort of inscriptions and dog legs.
His personality would be one of a wanderer, nocturnal, meditative, observer, friendly, loner, and one who fathoms.
He would live in places like forests, dark places, he would move in the night, caves.

Assessment Day
I spent a term at Camberwell College of arts on the BA illustration course experimenting and doing research for final works, here are the main finals (haven't got pics of them all):
Poster Project Charles Dickens's Great Expectations Project
And when we come to the end of the term, 2 weeks before the assessment day, they give us a paper saying the aspects they are going to evaluate, and u know what? None of them evaluate the final pieces made throughout the term. They evaluate the research that has been done and if you saved all the briefings in a stupid development folder that I had no knowledge from the very beginning. I didn't have this information at the beginning of the term, I did the term always thinking about the final pieces that had !ZERO! weight on my grade. " did u search the history of the museum?", "did you look for other information beyond the briefs?" - they say.
Of course i did search for images and searched trough books for information and inspiration, but as I didn't know at the time that I had to save all of this I ended up with nothing to show!
I admit I'm not the most organised person but I would have collected all the research needed if I had the knowledge that i would need to present it.
I feel like the course is not well organised, they send us emails of important things we need to know for the next day at the last hour, we don't have enough tables (even thought most students dropped out) and they "hide" information that is essential for our understanding of the course.
