Evaluation

Looking back at this project, overall i have really enjoyed developing my characters and creating mine and my partners design. I have really liked exploring an era that i knew nothing about before, so learning new information about the 1920's weimer berlin has been interesting and has broadened my knowledge in general not just specifically in make up and hair. It has tested my skills, practically and theoretically but i feel i have learned a lot and am more confident in both areas than i was before. I have liked that there were several sources of research and things to refer to such as a film, script and book.
I have definitely found aspects of it challenging this term, in regards to it being quite quick paced to  have our designs ready and research and background work done. Especially as it is a period that i have started from scratch and had never read the book before. After researching though i felt my design ideas flowed and along with help from both practical classes in coming up with an historical design for the character i chose, Sally Bowles. I was pleased with the outcome of my design that my partner created, she listened well to my direction and it came out how imagined it too. If i could go back or modify my design, i would spray the green in my hair brown as it showed up too much and gave it a more contemporary edge.
I felt like my timed assessment, creating my partners design reached my partners expectations. She seem pleased with the final outcome. I had never created kiss curls before so i struggled with them in practices we had done, but i kept practicing and they turned out well on the day. My time management was good and i felt i followed her step by steps to the best of my ability.
I really enjoyed the second half contemporary club culture part of the project. I liked how open it was and looking back now or if i had a chance to develop my contemporary look i would definitely go for more of an extravagant look. I enjoyed researching and looking for inspiration as i found it more me than the first half. I was pleased with my design but feel i didn't showcase my full ability, creatively.
Overall i feel like both my designs have turned out well and reflect my research, even though i would change a few things if i was to develop them again. I throughly enjoyed learning about a new time period, in general and in regards to make up and hair. I have learnt new skills, such us finger waving, creating a bob, kiss curls which will help me in the future and for other designs. I am more confident in my practical and theoretical skills and feel my final outcomes demonstrate this.

Contemporary final design.




Overall i was pleased with outcome of my contemporary design, if i was to develop or progress this look again, i would definitely go more extreme with the make up, and build different textures onto the face using different products and accessories, as i feel i could have gone a lot more avant grade. But i do like my design and the way it came out.

Kit Kat girl designs


 I made this face chart using the colour still that were used in the 1930's but a lot bolder and stonger.

 After testing out this design, i really didn't like it, i wanted it to be done in aqua colour so it was bolder, but i felt the shape and colour made it look more like face paint at a kids party, and it looked quite butterfly like.




After testing out my designs, i choose to use this one as i felt like it was the most how i see club culture and would suit my character best. I also feel it would suit my hair style better as i feel my hair also gives off a slight punky vibe. I have chosen to use the blue eye shadow colour as this is my contemporary 1920's look i have taken inspiration from the colours used historically within the era, contrasting this to the bright purple lip moves the design into a contemporary setting and conveys my club culture influence from my previous research particularly when watching Party Monsters were the lip colours stood out to me.

I further feel colour symbolism in my design is key i decided to use purple on the lips because the colour symbolism as purple symbolises change and that something is going to happen i feel this relates to both cabaret and club kids as the era was short the people of both Weimar Berlin and club culture live for the moment and this colour symbolises this element knowing change will happen but living for now. I further found this image of the theatre production cabaret featuring allan cummings it explores this idea as the lighting to me is reminiscent of club lighting and inspired the colour within my final design.

Also the placement of the eyeshadow is because at 20's eye they would use a darker colour into the crease of the eye, so thats why i choose that placement for this design.




I want the hair to have a finger wave at the front, then into two buns either side, to give it a more contemporary feel. I also want to add different colour chalks through out the hair. I will also leave the hair in a middle parting instead of a side parting like they did in the 1920's.

Kit Kat

I have chosen to do a kit kat girl for my contemporary character from act one scene four when they are perfuming on stage with Sally on New years eve. The club girls are girls that perform at the kit kat club. They are all dressed up, like Sally. All the women are all different shapes and sizes. I think they look quite androngenous, some of them aren't even attractive.
Its new years eve at the club, so it obviously winter. This wouldn't have any effect on what they were wearing though, they would have their normal costumes on as they would be performing. The kit kat girls just want to put on a good show and get a good reaction from the crowd and do their job. Where its new years eve i expect the atmosphere was a lot higher than just a normal night. So i feel like the girls would have more energy that usual. 
The active verb i would use for this is 'to entice' so i would use a striking eye to catch someones attention or a bold lip. Or even both as this section is contemporary club culture.
