PDP hand in deadline

It was the deadline today to hand the PDP file. I have lots of things happen to me all the time which I couldn't organise PDP file properly and lots of things to put in this file; I was get started to worry about my final year grade result.

Professional Developmental Planning - Presentation

Every time I have presentation made me so nervous and less confident on speaking skills. This is never solving the problem. Generally I was okay talking to the people that I know, but when to talk to in front of the people to present my work, I was then become nervous very sudden. I think is because they might know that my English is not very fluent that didn't give me any panic. The other reason that I think make me nervous was preparation. I couldn't organise PDP and FMP at the same time which I find it hard to handle. Today's PDP presentation, I prepared not very well that I have no confident and unsure myself to present it. Also the 2nd year students were there to listen as well that I was worried they might not understand what I was trying to talk about and they might feel boring because of my speaking skills was very poor and misunderstanding. I didn't really know how can I improve speaking skills for my future career.

Master of Origami Pattern Cutting - Shingo Sato

I watched the video clips from youtube by the master of pattern cutting, Shingo Sato earlier before he visit in the studio. He shows the demonstration and experimentation to develop the pattern cutting in origami constructions; it was attracted me very much. I never thought about that I can be able to see him in close distance. His pattern cutting skills is very strong which inspired me lots of ideas to put in my final major project.

Setareh Mohtarez

My inspiration of voluminous skirt shape was inspired by a New York fashion designer, Setareh Mohtarez. I recognized this designer is because I watched a Chinese female singer Joey Yung's London concert 2011 at Royal Albert Hall from last year. She wore a blue shimmering galaxy inspired dress that was really attracted me. Joey Yung revealed that she found this designer while surfing the internet and fell in love with Setareh's designs 'Brightness Dawn' collection 2009; this has related to my final collection.
