Objective: Give the proposal for the midterm project and reflection on the workshop
Midterm proposal
For the midterm I want to make a dress but specially focusing on my cultural dress- Pakistani dress as it would represent my culture and also, would be helpful for me in the future because I want to do recycling in the Pakistani Industry as no one in my country has every worked on it on a large scale and I would want to work as a designer and help to save our environment starting from my very own country.
Therefore, I would start with designing a wearable but that would be Pakistani Kurta style. The Kurt will be mainly made up of plastic as Pakistan and trash bags because PAKISTAN is a developing country and has a lot of waste management issues. The maximum usage there is of plastic because people are not really aware of the bad effects of the plastic due to low literacy rate and low encouragement by the government to decrease the usage of plastic and move towards sustainability. Recently, in the capital of Pakistan plastic was banned but still the policy was eloped without almost no implementation so this project will HIGHLIGHT the issue and my Kurt will have the logo “Reuse, Recycle” for creating awareness.
Reflection on the workshop:
I have already posted my outcome of the workshop in the last post by me but here I would like to just add on it and write that it was a really fun and interesting way to tackle with plastic however, I made a few mistakes which I need to overcome such as being careful with the iron as its hot, always use a cloth to put underneath, being careful with putting the cray paper on top of the plastic when closing the machine and finally, working on the edges.
