Review of my project

Review of my project 

Overall i would say that i have found this project to be very successful  i was able to create everything i wanted to create and was required to make for the project. e.g. the costume gowns that other students have used in their work.

Main/reversible robe
i was really pleased with the way the main/reversible robe turned out in the end it has a very concise look about it, quite a modern shape but with a medieval flare. I incorporated an edge of modern styling into both the ceremonial side of the robe as well as the everyday side of the robe. on the ceremonial side of the robe i gave a modern twist buy using braiding down the arm that imitates the stripes along the arm of a modern addidas hoodie. whereas on the everyday side of the robe the overall appeal of this side is the modern styling of it, from the simple denim jacket and hoodie appearance to the addition of converse trainer to tie the outfit together. 

Costume robe
I was really pleased with the way the costume robe/poncho turned out an how effective it looked when it was worn and photographed. i made all four of the costume robes to the exact same pattern, a pattern that allowed many people of different sizes and shapes to wear the robe, as well as being easy to remove them for costume changes/photographing etc.

Posts
my posts turned out really well and they provide a good layout for my work in the museum space. the way i created the posts was very cost effective and time effective. i was able to make four posts for the price it would have cost me to buy one post and overall i believe that the finish off my presentation of my work perfectly.

my time management for this project was really good and i was able to stick to the timetable i had made myself, i was able to create the main/reversible robe, four costume robes, and four display post well in advance of the hand in date, just in-case i found any last minuet problems.

Presentation of my final piece

Presentation of my final piece. 

I have presented my 'Niksurites' robe on a dress Mannequin with gold posts surrounding it to cordon off the area....
I have chosen to surround my robe with gold posts so that people can look at the robe but can not necessarily touch the robe...
But if they choose to be sneaky and lean over and tough the robe its up to them.

i added photo's to the wall behind the display of my robe to show the change/reversing of the robe from a normal jacket to the sect robe.




This is my final layout in my designated space in the museum 


I decided to display my work in this was in the museum, because it best displays my robe from multiple angles, i decided to surround it with posts (that maybe considered medieval) to suggest  a look but don't touch approach to my section of the museum.
I have also added photos to the wall behind my robe. one set of photos is to to explain how the robe is reversible and how it changes from the ceremonial robe to the everyday jacket and the other set of photos is of the robe being worn.
