Evaluation

The gothic urban legends project has been interesting to do, although I have found it hard to research around my chosen urban legend and gather relevant imagery that will help me develop my ideas.

In the research area of my work I feel there definitely could be some improvements as I don't feel i did enough initial research to gather a strong idea of what make up look I would be creating. I think that the imagery I collected and my other sources were useful though and gave me the ability to get a rough idea of where i was going to develop my urban legend looks. I feel perhaps my development stage was stronger as I had more drawings and visual reference, this helped me to understand how I could do my look and where else I could develop further.

I feel perhaps I should have tested out my looks and done more testing with makeup rather than going just from my drawings and not a lot of testing involved. I feel this would then maybe created a stronger final outcome and perhaps would have been 'neater' or better.

I feel like my final outcomes are actually quite strong though and reflect what I wanted to create considering I feel like I fell down more in this project for research. I feel perhaps this is down to my enthusiasm over fashion based makeup, as I was a lot more enthusiastic with doing a film based makeup over a fashion based one. I feel if I could have created a character look for a film then I would have created a better research ground. I think this is where my heart and inspiration lies more as I have found it hard to 'get into' this project. Although I wasn't so inspired by the project its-self I feel i have learnt some valuable skills in makeup and have learnt a lot through doing this.
