Design Technology Challenge

 LI: To design and make a holiday decoration that fits the client brief.

The above picture showcases my product or outcome of the design technology challenge. We started by asking the specifications of the product from our client, Mr. Johnston which were to have a 10 cm size,  3D effects and make a design depicting your culture. Then we started researching on what we can make, through tasks like mood board and brainstorm. That is when I decided to make an elephant and a lantern which depicts my culture. We then started by preparing for our design by making a rough sketch from all angles and the materials we will need to complete it. To do effective sewing we first practiced on a piece cloth and learnt running and blanket stitching which were used for the borders and adding a new layer of felt. I also changed a few things from our actual plan as I decided to add embellishments to make it more eye-catchy and more beautiful. Once my design was completed, I was very pleased because I didn't think it would look this good.
