1. Could have shown more of your design process
2. Product placement range
Image development
3. Include more info
Different medias and scale
4. Maybe more design development?
5. More research?
What I picked up most from the feedback given to me after my presentation, is that the group would have liked to have seen more of my design process and how I got to the stage that I did. My work went through a lot of changes and design ideas in order to get to the point that it did, therefore it would have been nice to have displayed this. I will make sure that the process that I went through is all up on my blog and clearly labelled.
It was also stated that it would have been nice to have more info up on my slides, however, from personal experience, and whilst going through the rest of the groups presentations, I find it quite difficult to both listen to the presenter and also read what is coming up on the slides. I chose to keep the text on my slides to a minimum so that I could explain each point, however I do understand that it may be easier for others to have it there available to read.
Whilst talking to the group, context also cropped up, and a number of areas were suggested, including:
- London fashion week
- Museums
- Train stations
- The Eurostar
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT - landmarks of Paris
First stages
Design for first ideas, including looking at landmarks in Paris

JEANNE MOREAU
Jeanne Moreau is truly a legend of French cinema. One of their most cherished actresses, she has also directed and is still active in international cinema as a festival juror.
The daughter of an English chorus girl and a French barman, Moreau was born in Paris in 1928.
She made her stage debut in 1947, at the Avignon Festival of Theatre, whilst studying at the Conservatoire in Paris. She soon made it to the Comedie-Française, remaining there for four years, appearing in many productions.
In the early 1950s, she left to join the more experimental Theatre Nationale Populaire. She also began her French film career, most notably in 'Gas Oil', starring Jean Gabin. In the late 1950s, she achieved fame when Louis Malle cast her in 'Acenseur Pour L'eschafaud' and 'Les Amants'.
She proved perfect for the emerging New Wave in France, with her moody, sultry, acerbic on-screen persona.
Acclaimed for her performance in Peter Brook's 'Moderato Cantabile', she achieved international stardom for her acting and singing role as Catherine, in Francois Truffaut's masterpiece, 'Jules et Jim'.
'Jules et Jim' proved to be the highlight of Moreau's career and, with the decline of the New Wave in the mid-1960s, she began to appear in more populist, lightweight material and such films as 'Agent H.21', 'Mata-Hari' and 'Viva Maria!' did little to preserve her legacy.
She rediscovered her propensity for working with experimental new directors in the 1970s, with such films as 'Les Valseuses' by Bertrand Blier and 'Souvenirs d'en France' by Andre Techine.
Her own directorial debut came with 'Lumiere' in 1975, and 'L' Adolescente' in 1979, both of which were well received by the critics.
Moreau was the recipient of a Golden Lion at the 1992 Venice Film Festival for 'Clothes in the Wardrobe' and a 1997 European Film Academy Lifetime Achievement Award. She also presided over the grand jury at Cannes in 1995.
She has been acting in films since then, with roles in 'Ever After: A Cinderella Story' in 1998 as the grande dame and TV movie 'Balzac' in 1999.
Moureau then appeared in 'The Prince's Manuscript' and TV mini-series 'Les Miserables' in 2000, as well as 'Zaide, un petit air de vengeance' and 'Cet Amour-la' in 2001.
She also became the first woman to enter the Academie des Beaux-Arts of Paris in January 2001.
After appearances in TV films and shorts, Moreau starred in the French version of the Shakespeare story 'Romeo Et Juliette' in 2006, 'Everywhere at Once' in 2008, 'Eleanor's Secret' in 2009 and 'Bouquet Final' in 2011.
She has been married twice, including to Jean-Louis Richard between 1949 and 1964 and then to American film director William Friedkin between 1977 and 1979. She also enjoyed a relationship with film director Tony Richardson, who left his wife for Moreau in 1967, but they never married.
