Final Design Practice
This is my design practice for my final idea, I started by planning my idea by making face charts, once I had finalised my design and chose my face chart, I then attempted the design on my 'Kate' doll. As my model for my assessment will have much longer hair I may have to change some of the techniques for making the large sections at the sides. I wanted to make the design contemporary, for this my inspiration came from the avant garde style from catwalks.
In my design plan I used three techniques; fish tail plait, curling using tongs and backcombing. Due to the length of my model's hair, I may need to use padding in each section to secure the design, I can then backcomb the hair to create more lift. Due to the length of the hair I may need to use grips otherwise the design will look too erratic and messy, I want the hair to look free and bouncy; but to hold a similar shape to the Elizabethan love heart.
I practiced a loose fish tail on one of my housemates, the design was very loose and needed some refining. I will practice the design so I am confident enough to explain and be able to talk about it step by step to my partner so she can execute it with the same confidence.
