1.0 Introduction
1.1 Aim
My personal project is about designing a series of modern fashion accessories design
collection with the theme of combining Chinese traditional culture and current fashion
trend. My plan is to draw a few designs in which I can explain my inspiration and
definition of them. All designs are presented in a booklet format that could be sent to
companies to produce or manufacture. Besides, the booklet can be mass printed by
printing companies for publishing, and as a reference for other designers.
As I have seen some teenagers having antipathy to all aspects of traditional culture in
Hong Kong, and their desire of modern fashion is increasing dramatically. I think it is
time to solve this problem before this phenomenon leads to the disappearance of
traditional culture. I hope that after people looking at my design collection, they will
change their point of view, or their bias opinions toward the Chinese culture.
1.2 My Goal
The goal I want to achieve is creating a series of design collection that can influence
people’s thoughts toward Chinese traditional cultures. These designs should be
attractive, appropriate materials, well scaled, and well explained. To achieve my goal, I
have to understand the concerns of designers consider while drawing designs. Besides,
I would like to learn the techniques of presenting a design through drawings. My
collection booklet should be well present, like the left page with a design, and the right
page with descriptions and explanations. Every page should be show clearly and tidy.
The most important is, all my designs should be full of modern fashion sense, and
people would not feel the designs are outdated. However, it could trace the Chinese
traditional sign or any elements in the designs. Overall, I would like to bring out a
concept of “traditions can be modern fashion”.
1.3 Guiding Question/Inquiry Question

“How can I combine current fashion trend and
traditional culture to design modern fashion accessories? ”
I have created this guiding question that has included all aspects of my inquiry. It helps
me to concentrate my focus on the goal as I am working throughout the project. It avoids
me from me off topic while doing research.
1.4 Methods of Achieving My Goal

Before reaching to my goal, I have to investigate and collect information. Methods like
research in books, magazines, and Internet, can help me to explore my inquiry. My
guiding question/inquiry question shows upon can help me to focus on the purpose and
aim of my project. Since my investigation involves Chinese traditions, some of the
research materials may not be able to reference, like there are some legends and stories
behind their traditional sculptures or creatures, I would record them as my own
knowledge instead of finding reliable sources. I have tones of designs from other design
companies, which allow me to look at as a reference or inspiration while designing.
1.5 Area of Interaction
1.5.1 Human Ingenuity

I have chosen Human Ingenuity as my main area of interaction from the International
Baccalaureate Organization, which helps me to categorize and identify my topic and
goal in a specified area. Since my topic is fashion design, and my goal is to create a
collection of designs, it fits into Human Ingenuity. The Human Ingenuity is about
creation, and products that influence the world in our daily life. In this case, my project’s
aim is to change people’s point of view toward Chinese traditions. That is exactly match
with the description of this area. While I am working on the design, I always have to
concern about how to create the product so as to achieve my goal. As I am going to
focus on Human Ingenuity, I also have explore or acknowledge what kind of impacts or
affects to us of creating my product. Lastly, as I am taking parts in Human Ingenuity, I
am always solving problems and showing human creativity.
1.5.2 Community & Service

Besides, my project is planed to utilize my product, to eradicate the phenomenon that
people have antipathy toward Chinese traditions. At first, I was trying to apply another
area of interaction in, which is Community & Service, as my goal can provide
contribution to the community, since my influence may help to avoid the Chinese
cultures and traditions disappear. Though, I do not think it fits to the service part, where I
“have the opportunity to provide service for others, and in doing so develop into a
responsible citizen”, as the International Baccalaureate says. Then, I have decided, I
would not focus on this area of interaction, it is not compulsory to be included, but in
some case, it makes sense to be fit into my project.
2.0 Process
It is necessary to have different steps from one to another, so as to achieve my goal.
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 Investigation
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 design1. 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

investigate 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 Hong Kong (see Appendix 6.4)

Throughout my investigation on magazines, I have visited Hong Kong Central Library,
where the biggest library in Hong Kong, to look for some updated current fashion
1

movement in parts of Europe. <http://designeast.eu/2009/02/13/autor-domagoj-dukec/>
magazines over the world. I have accidentally found out an “Exhibition of Jewelry and
accessories in Hong Kong” in one of the magazines 2. It was very fortunate that the
exhibition was on the twenty-third of September, which did not pass. However the
exhibition is commercial use, which I could not go into it without above eighteen years
old and a pass. I was very lucky though; my mother had a friend who helped her get
access to the exhibition. Since the exhibition was for commercial usage, it is not allowed
to take photographs. So I have asked my mother to help me get the brochures, booklets,
pamphlets, and advertisements from different companies, different countries of different
styles.
After getting all the brochures from the exhibition with my mother’s help, I have
categorized into three groups of all information I gained. Then I have stuck some of the
pictures of designs into the process journal as my inspiration and research. The
exhibition provides me a huge support from inspiration in creation stage. In addition, I
have also learned the sense of modern design and the western style mostly. There are
many designs from India and China with different materials, like precious stone, gem,
diamond, crystal, jade, and elephants’ teeth. That has helped me to have more variety of
materials to decide while designing.
2.1.3 Further Research

Beside the most essential investigation shown above, there are more researches I have
done in order to build my knowledge and understanding in all aspects of design and
Chinese traditions.
Youtube (see Appendix 6.2.1): I have surfed to the popular video website youtube.com
and find some video clips about “how to draw three dimensional items”. These videos 3
help me to improve my techniques on drawing better three-dimensional items, which
provide me a lot of help to establish my final product.
Interview with a designer (see Appendix 6.2.2): One of my elder cousins is a fashion
designer but living in United States. I was really lucky that she was coming back to Hong
Kong, and I could interview her face to face. She has a lot of experience of the process
of designing, while she has her own company. She explained very well about the
process and the other things from the crucial to the minor things they have to consider. It
provides me an overview of the process of designers work.
2.2 Techniques and Applications

As I am going to create a booklet with designs in it, I have to learn some techniques for
drawing and presenting my designs in order to apply to the final product. As I have
mentioned above, three-dimensional technique will be essential while drawing the

design. I have learned some basic techniques to draw three-dimensional items in

youtube (see appendix 6.2.1). It helps me to improve my drawings in my design.
There is an application that I am now already in use while writing the essay. It actually
applies the International Baccalaureate MYP Technology’s Design Cycle (see appendix
6.3). The cycle is formed by Investigate, Design, Plan, Create, and Evaluate stage.
These five stages are equivalent to my essay structure, and my process of creating my
product. After the investigation, I designed the presentation of my product, like a booklet.
Then I created a timeline or a timeframe to suggest the work schedule. Next, I started to
draw the designs and combine them together into a booklet. Finally, I finished my
evaluation in the project statement. All above reveals that I am applying the design cycle
in IB organization established for Technology lessons.
2.3 Plan
The second step is to draft a plan for myself to manage both time and quality of product.
Unlike Technology’s design cycle, I have placed the design brief and design
specification in the plan. Since I have created a checklist and timeline (see appendix 6.5)
for my plan, I would be always looking at it during my drawing of my designs, so I think
placing the design specification in the plan can let me have a easy review of the
requirement of my product, instead of separating into another part.
July 13 Research on Jewellery Designs 2 weeks

July 30 Research on Definition of Accessories 3 days
August 5 Research on Chinese Traditions 2 week
August 13 Research on Western Designs 2 week
August 28 Research on Accessories Designs 2 week
September 8 Design and create Product 8 weeks
2.3.1 Timeline
My timeline is set after my planning stage, until the twenty-seventh of November. The
period of time in between is for investigation and creation. Since there is a long period of
time for me to do research, I would easily forget about it or miss the deadline. In order to
keep myself on track, my timeline has included the time I work for research every week.
According to the Chinese traditional culture, people wear their accessories or jewellery in
some important and significant events, like wedding and so on. So my design would be
categorized into wedding accessories, and with four to five designs.
2.3.2 Checklist
On the other hand, the checklist contains all including elements of the product, so that I
can tick off every line in the checklist. In the checklist below, there is a box that contains
the requirements of my product, which is the design specification. Every design that I
have drawn has to compare to the design specification, as a final check and review on it.
3.0 Product
3.1 Introduction
My product is a booklet named “Traditions can be Modern Fashion” (see appendix 6.6).
The designs will be surrounding with the “wedding theme”. Each of the designs
represents different traditions or hidden meaning in Chinese culture. The aim and the
purpose of the booklet are, by presenting this booklet to people, especially for teenagers
to look at, to change their conceptions toward Chinese traditions and cultures. As
nowadays people’s ambitions and desires of following the modern fashion trend
increase, they always recognize Chinese traditions as outdated and old culture. I hope
that people can change their ideas and identify Chinese traditions could be fashionable
throughout looking at my designs.
3.2 Presentation
I have used a booklet style to present my content or designs. I have thought about using
other presentation, like proposal. However, my target group is mainly teenagers, which
they would not be attracted by a formal proposal format. Thus I have decided to create a
booklet with an attractive cover page.
The cover page is neat and tidy, which using a crossover design that combining western
style but with the Chinese traditions wording. Inside it, there is a small paragraph of
introduction showing my purpose of creating the product. Then it starts off from a title
page written “wedding theme”. After that, every design would demonstrate in two pages.
The left hand side pages are for showing diagrams and pictures in different
perspectives. The right hand side pages are for listing materials contained in designs,
descriptions, and inspirations.
3.3 Specification
The designs that contained in the product have to reveal my understanding in modern
fashion jewellery design as well as Chinese traditions. I have to use my own knowledge
of the design concept and my creativity to combine both modern fashion and Chinese
traditions elements together in my designs. Since the area of accessories is huge, I
could not draw designs for all accessories. In my product, my accessories types are
focusing on jewellery like rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. These are the most
essential accessories that can match with different clothing and dressing. Furthermore,
these accessories limitations are less than the others. Accessories like watches,
handbags, and so one, have less area to elaborate my design techniques.
4.0 Reflection and Evaluation
4.1 Difficulties and Solutions

I have completed my project to achieve my goal. I have faced different challenges and

difficulties throughout my process to succeed. In the beginning of the investigation, I
tried to find information about Chinese accessories in both books and Internet. The
result of nothing found, creates a huge roadblock to my investigation. Although I have
stuck there, I kept on finding information about it. I have wasted plenty of my time in my
investigate stage, and affect my schedule of timeline. After a week, I have given up and
started exploration and research in other aspects. I have delayed about two weeks time
in my investigation
In addition, my time management was not as well as I thought. At the beginning, I could
follow the template that I have created in my timeline. However, once finishing the
summer holiday and started my school year, my time management has messed up as I
have to concentrate on my academic learning and assessments; and my Personal
Project. Finally, I have solved the problem by doing it in weekends and holidays, to
compensate the lack of work in school days.
As for the interview and the exhibition time, since the exhibition time was fixed, I could
only wait until the end of September in order to gather those important information and
research. In the case of interview, my cousin could only be back in Hong Kong in
February. I had to wait for her in order to have a meeting. All these issues affected my
time management and delayed the process of my project.
Other than time management, the quality of work is very essential either. In my creation
of the booklet, the designs I have drawn need variations between each other. Yet, I had
only few ideas while drawing. It took me longer time than I expected to finish my end
product. In fact, it relates to the time management too. I have delayed the completion of
my product for two to three weeks than my timeline schedule.
4.2 Relations to Area of Interaction

I have mainly focused on Human Ingenuity throughout the process of creation. I have
shown human creativity while designing the accessories and create a presentation for
my product. I have also solved problems and find solution of how to change people’s
thought towards Chinese traditions and the disappearance of Chinese culture. The
booklet could reveal my understanding towards accessories design and the essential
elements of Chinese traditions in through my personal creative skills and intelligence.
While designing the presentation of my designs, I have thought of the structure, outlook,
and attractiveness toward the target group. It also helps to influence and change
people’s thought of “Traditions can be Modern Fashion” after looking at it. My creations
or designs enable to bring positive impact of protecting the Chinese traditions, in which
both accessories and traditions are human creations.
Additionally, after establishing my product, it can provide an opportunity for the

teenagers to read, as to change their concept of traditions as outdated and old
fashioned. That could help to preserve the traditional culture. In another words, I have
contribution to the community through demonstrating examples in my product. It shows
my project can relates to the Community and Service as well.
4.3 Improvements
In my investigate stage, I have found a huge quantity of designs. However, I think my
analysis in my process journal is not enough. I should be able to write even detail if I
have well manage my usage of time. At first I have thought about going to the store and
take photographs from their products. Though, I found that was illegal. So I only have
information from books, magazines, video clip, and brochures. If next time I could
organize even well and requested some companies for permission before hand, then I
could have photographs as my primary sources.
After finishing my project, I have found myself committed many mistakes and wrong
decisions. And now I reflect my work, look back to the work I have done. Throughout my
investigation, I could not find any information about Chinese traditional accessories from
books nor the Internet. I have kept trying to find information about it, even though no
results could be found and overtime in the timeline. If next time, I will skip the information
that cannot be searched and do the parts that I know first. That can improve the
efficiency of the investigation process.
Throughout the time I used to draw the designs for the final product, I have wasted a lot
of time to think of what to draw and just blank thinking in my mind. If any similar
situations occur next time, I should use a blank piece of paper for brainstorming about
the different elements and features that might include into the designs. I could draw all
over the paper and give myself some ideas. Having a look in my previous investigation
could help too.
5.0 Conclusion
5.1 Survey on My Product (See Appendix 6.7)

To prove that I have achieved my goal successfully, I have conducted a survey to collect
people’s ideas and opinions. The survey can reveal people’s thoughts about my success
on this project, which influences others’ thoughts toward Chinese traditions with a better
impression and shows that Chinese traditions can be a part of modern fashion.
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 shown in the design; and 3) Do you think I can influence people not to
dislike traditional culture. The result (see Appendix 6.8) 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 that combining current fashion trend and
Chinese 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 Chinese
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 Chinese traditions or not is not 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. 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.
