Evaluation...

I really enjoyed this project as it was a lot different to the other assignments I have been set during the course of my first year of university. Rather than creating attractive looks with make-up, the intention was to design and produce 'horrific' appearances. When making and posting on my blog, I quite enjoyed the research side as I learnt a lot about how individuals are used to portray different characters in films. I also learnt a lot about applying make-up to create injuries. I feel my overall project went well, as my final images reflect my initial thoughts and ideas and I have explained what I am portraying well. I feel the make-up on 'The Dead Girl' images could be slightly better, and the black eye could be more intense, but that is my fault for not doing more practise. I also feel I could of created a more 'fashion' approach as that was a main aspect of the project but I really struggled to involve that in my final images and my photographs look a lot more 'horror' than 'fashion'. Overall I have really benefited from doing this project as I have discovered more make-up techniques and how to improve my approach for any other similar assignments in the future.
