DAYS FOURTY, FOURTY ONE AND FOURTY FOUR Accessories Project 10/11/14.10.2016

I am greatly pleased with the result of this weeks accessories project. I have successfully developed a piece based on the elevation of everyday objects. My reference to the social ladder comes across strongly and I have made use of the university's prototyping room.

Working on a model scale before transitioning to full scale has proven to be an effective method of working for me although I do believe I could have developed more directly from the models for my final outcome as apposed to creating something new.

I enjoy photocopy manipulation; playing with scale when scanning my piece helped me to develop backgrounds for sketch book presentation and ideas on print design for one paper cage accessory.

I chose to work with two specific everyday objects, the spring from a washing peg and razor blades.

For me the two objects effectively contrast each other. One is symbolic of domestic housework and the other male tradition.  I like the idea that when climbing the social ladder, the white male makes it difficult for the climber; the sharp blades represent how difficult social mobility can be.

My ideas accumulated in a felt neck piece embellished with the two aforementioned objects.

I will be using the laser cutter again after discovering how succesful my design worked when cut in synthetic felt.

I like studio style photography but aim to conduct more location shoots as I progress through the course.

I think this week has been my favourite so far; it has confirmed quite how firmly my passion lies with design.
