SPECIALISM PRESENTATIONS WEEK 4

XUE WANG
Do not read out from the paper. No need to read every line in ths life. Just a brief explanation of what is there will be good enough.
What were you trying to show in the picture of two buildings? It was not very clear
Diagrams t show the flow of points - good and clear
Sketch is not clear as there are too many things happening in it.
Good conceptual development and details shown.
I got lost during your presentation and could not see the organized flow of work
Time limit crossed and too long
Your conclusion did not link up the text and the artist with your project
Little more elaboration on the proposed question. I felt that the question was not relevant to the audience.

My opinion on the question:
If I am a single person wanting to buy an apartment for living, I will not consider natural lighting or ventilation more that other factors such as location of place, rent cost, facilities available and so on.
Technology is present to provide lighting and cool environment - air conditioner, fans and so on. Thus while renting a house I would rather consider other factors suitable to the place.

JENNIFER LEONA WIDJAJA
Interesting design name
Clear ideas, good explanation
Map - visual aid, very clear
Dimensions of the site give us a good idea
Vertical Graden - is a concept of alternating green space where green space does not expand horizontally  but rises up high. There is less horizontal space available so we can start working in a vertical manner. This garden can be indoor or outdoor. - very interesting concept
Level change - divides the room and making max use of the space available within the 4 walls
No need to show initial designs - you can just show the final idea
Reading text well liked with project
Clear conclusion
I really liked your presentation! It was well prepared and clear.

My opinion on the question:
My design philosophy for the garment that I am creating in my specialism project is not only aesthetic satisfaction but also eco friendly manufacturing of the garment, in the following ways:
Upcycling (for the producer) - when my garment is made out of old/second hand clothing which reduces my cost of raw materials and also saves the environment from degrading
Multi functional (for the consumer) - according to how the garment is accessorized, it can be worn at the beach, as ready to wear or even at evening parties. Thus the same garment serves different purposes for the consumer.
My design philosophy for this particular project definitely caters to the aesthetic value of the outfit, but also meets the purpose of saving the environment.

RITIKA SAINI
What is a faculty magazine?
Interesting concept, interesting title
Good to add your personal element in the presentation
Why did you choose red, white and black as your color scheme? Explain why you chose the color.
Organized presentation
Good conceptual development

Logo designing requires Typography

My opinion on the question:
In fashion design, there is a lot of graphic designing involved in the process where the product is advertised to the audiences. The graphic design part comes into the picture after all the manufacturing is done and the garment is ready.The logo designing for the brand name, the fashion magazine layouting and composition, the packaging for the garment all involves graphic designing.

Website designs and Magazine layouts (top left) and Packaging (bottom) all requires graphic design

YOFANY SUSANTO
Do not refer to what an earlier presenter has said already. You must explain it yourself again in your presentation.
Editorial layout - has 50% text and 50% images.
Good organization of points
Good conceptual development
When you show a graph, mention the percentages below the bars to show the statistics.
What are family fonts?
Usage of design elements - lines, shapes, patterns, texture, color - is evident - good.
Every detail in the project has been touched upon - even the paper type - elaborate and good.

My opinion on the question:
Which one is more important in my own project - The functionality or the visual candy?
In fashion design, the visual candy weighs more importance at the end of the day because that is the reason why the audience wears the garments - to be updated with the latest trends.
The functionality can be present sometimes in certain projects ( like the eco friendly one ) from the aspect of the designer or the consumer. At the end of the day, people want to wear dresses that look gorgeous and only buy such clothes to maintain social standards. Thus in fashion, eye candy plays an integral role in persuading the audience to buy the garments.
