Final evaluation (as a designer)

  After the experience I made in this period of time, I can say that I am very glad with the route I have done.This project has contributed for my personal growth as well as for learning new skills and improve the ones I have already had. It also helped me to improve my abilities in communication with other people, taught me how to work on new faces and which are the first steps towards the professionalism. 

    I have enjoyed a lot discovering in a very detailed way the variety of techniques and also some "secrets" that Elizabethans used to create their looks. It is really amazing finding out how the past has a strong impact till nowadays. 

    All these elements taught me how to manage my time and how to be more organized in order to manage doing the timed assessments and to complete the weekly homework assignements. 

     If talking about the final design that I created for this project, I'm pleased with it. I have tried to be original and to bring a piece of history into a new perspective. For doing it, I made a combination of an Elizabethan make-up with some of contemporary touches. I exaggerated some of the aspects of my design, for the simple reason to make it more original. 

    I feel that this project has given me the opportunity to show myself and encouraged me to free my creativeness for my future designs.  

   

My personal opinion on the work done by my partner is not negative at all. I can definitely say that the job she did for this assessment is the best one since we started to practice. Of course there are some mistakes: for example the neck and the ears are patchy, you can also still notice the texture of the eyebrows, and also the base on the nose is not well-blended.If paying attention at the eyes, I can say that they are not exactly what I wanted, but I can understand the difficulty of applying the eyeliner in a simmetrical  way and especially for someone who has never done make-up before.
 I like  a lot the contouring and the way she did it bold-because during the practices I always asked her to make it bolder than it was, because it seemed that she was afraid to apply more colour.
