The entire process is more than creating the product, instead of doing research. This section is an overview of my investigation throughout my project. 2.1 Investigate 2.1.1 Environment while design The first step I started was Investigation stage. Since I did not have any knowledge in accessories design, I have to find out how people draw their design. I found different photos and pictures of designers drawing their designs and the pictures of their designs. I have found a website that shows a picture of a designer drawing, and 2 pictures from his design. The picture reveals that designers usually stay in a quite, simple, and neat environment as they are drawing designs. Their tools are very simple, and usually pencils and markers. They do not put many materials over the table, which may give them distractions. As we can see in the picture, there are only several pens and papers on the desk. The light is very bright, which provides them enough brightness to work and help their concentration. On the other hand, the two pictures on the right hand side shows the design is usually presented in simple lines in three-dimensional. Colors are only use for identifying the materials and highlight the outlines of the design. Furthermore, the designer portrays both sides of the designs, which give more details and express his idea. These three images above play an important role in my investigation stage. It helps me to modify and specify the area I should find while designing. And I believe the environment will affect my mood to design and my creativity. The two pictures of design provide me a general idea of what the presentation of my design should be looked like. They will be my main reference and guide to follow throughout creating my product. 2.1.2 Exhibition In Mumbai Throughout my investigation on magazines, I have visited Mumbai Central Library, where the biggest library in Mumbai, to look for some updated current fashion magazines over the world. ...read more.

Conclusion

In the survey, I have raised three questions as checking my success of achieving my goal. Questions are: 1) Checking the specification of my product 2) Would you buy the products that are shown in the design? 3) Do you think I can influence people not to dislike traditional culture? The result (see Appendix 6.7) shows most of the people that I have asked are satisfied with my product, which mostly agree that my product contains modern fashion design, traditional elements, variety of materials, creative design, well explanations, and well presented. Among the twenty people I have asked, thirteen people agree with me that my creation can influence people not to dislike traditional culture. Besides, ten people said that they will definitely buy the accessories with my design, and five people said that they might buy it. The result of the survey reveals the success of achieving my goal. 5.2 Goal achievement My aim is to design modern accessories combining current fashion trend and Indian traditions. As my product successfully completed, it reveals that I have reached my goal. I am very satisfied with my final product, with applying the Human Ingenuity and Community and Service into my project. It helps me to understand the influences my product can create and acknowledge the contribution I have made to preserve Indian traditions by finishing my product. The product definitely shows my unique and special designs clearly, as well as my creativity and talent. The product that can influence people?s conceptions toward Indian traditions is the main focus and essential in my goal, though I hope it helps and contributes to the community somehow. I think the greatest achievement in this project to me, is that I am really enjoying the entire process of achieving my goal in such less time. Of course, I am also glad to see that I have succeeded in creating the final product and finishing the entire project that I have never attempted. ...read more.
