reminisce?

as the fall term for my final year approaches (getting a little  very much anxious!), i'm forced to remember that i won't be a student for very long, and that i'll be unceremoniously thrust into the real world (hoo ha.). 

ideally i would love to be doing fashion illustration, although i really enjoy designing, it just seems a bit easier to draw what's already been produced... or another topper on my list would be working for a trend forecasting site! 

but i realize once you start working for someone, the creative liberties, kind of, fly out of the window. 

one of my instructors mentioned that we should be as creative as we can while in uni, because this is kind of the last hurrah unless you launch your own line (which i am unwilling to do--- too much responsibility for me as of right now!!)

i was rummaging around for some extra bristol paper, when i came across the first assignment of the past year, which was a submission to the cfda student competition. although i didn't qualify (my packaging section of the assignment was incomplete, so was unable to be submitted), i felt satisfied with the work i was able to achieve. 

as i remember it was pretty stressful, due to so many ongoing projects and some other issues, but the fact i was able to complete the work, makes me feel pretty proud of the result.

(the scanning process washed out a few of the more subtle colors, which is a shame..... but it's just the mood board w fabrics & the lineup) the individual figures showcase the clothes much better, but i don't think anyone wants to see, like a million uploads, so this'll have to do. unless someone does want to see them, i'll happily upload them.
