Evaluation

Looking back at this project, i have really enjoyed it. Ive liked that i have been able to pick the culture i wanted as it gave me the opportunity to pick something that i personally find interesting and inspiring. Ive also liked how it has given me the chance to be as creative as i have wanted to be, as i don't feel there were many boundaries. Working with wigs and learning about them has given me the skills that i can now take and use in the future, as i would never have felt confident using them, or even really considered using a wig before if i was doing a shoot.
Working with mythic wigs i have definitely found challenging. Having to think of different solutions and techniques to use for my design, where i would normally just use heat on the models hair. Learning how to steam set and even skills i have taught myself to be able to create different textures. The biggest struggle i found was with my extreme wig as i couldn't get the shape and height i wanted without using all the hair from the whole wig, but it would have looked much better if i had folded it and just used the middle section, so that the sides would have been much more slick. My look i was most pleased with was my moderate. I don't feel it looks like a wig, where my extreme you could still see the hairline. Overall though, i feel like my three designs, reflect my story, culture and research as they all have a more contemporary punk feel. I aimed to keep the texture on all of them so they could all be slightly different but still have the same feel to be able to tell my story.
I have really enjoyed learning skills with making wigs and knotting a hairline. I would have really liked to be able to knot the hairline, but i didn't feel i would have had time at the point in the project when we were able too.
Overall, although i wasn't 100% happy with my final outcomes, i have learned from where i went wrong and when i am to use these skills in the future i will be able to confidently.
