Evaluation of Unit

250 word evaluation of the project progression, detailing how you solved problems, developed research and created your Beauty is Now blog concept:

Upon my initial impressions of this project I actually found the whole concept rather challenging as I feel I had mentally limited myself in what I thought I would be able to produce. From the options I chose something that was going to be easiest for me but found I was unchallenged by the concept, therefore I changed my concept to something that would push me to think more. By opting for ‘Organic Beauty’ I knew immediately that I wanted to create something that wasn’t expected of your classic natural editorial and as a result stepped away from the clichéd views of focusing on eco friendly beauty products. Instead I chose a biological approach, tying in my passion for science with the behaviour of the planet. The biggest challenge faced within this project was most definitely the technical elements, for example using a photographer and editor to assist with my shoots. The main problem was predominately that I lost control of my project and wasn’t happy with the results, therefore I took it upon myself to reassess my work and tackle the makeup, shooting and editing independently with just my model. Due to this I feel I learnt more from the project through conducting more experiments with lighting and photography to achieve my final images. That being said, the heavy focus on teaching myself these skills definitely bled into my work and allowed for the research into my final site to be more rounded. Overall I’m pleased with the outcome.
