12-2:30 Computer Lab/Dorm Room, Product Data Management PowerPoint Final. FINISHED! due Wednesday at 9 a.m.
TOTAL: 13 ALL in the computer lab.. ugh. BUT I AM DONE with 2/5 FINALS

DFS-Digital Flats and Specs
1)Story board with 10 flats illustrated on the Computer (NOT something I am good at)

2)Next are 2 examples of the CAD pages, we had to do them for all 10 flats. We had to fill in the flat with 3 colorways and write all the fabric indication etc.

3-5) For 3 of the flats we had to do a complete tech pack (This is just part of one I did) which consisted of; Stitch details (basically what kind of stitching goes where), Trim (Zippers/hook and eyes etc. I made my designs real simple because Illustrator is really really hard for me so I didn't add much trim), Actual Size Detail (a blown up detail with exact measurements (usually in a real tech pack you would do this for every single detail but we only had to do one), Spec Sheet (not shown because it is an excel document, basically it is filling in all measurements for the garment. The idea is, if you send a factory a complete tech pack they should be able to make all the garments just by these pages.

4) My color palette, the colors look different on every computer so... I am not sure how they'll turn out but on mine they all work together and look nice.

PDM-Product Data Management.
Basically this class is a JOKE. It is for an online program that is suppose to make Tech Packs easier... as you can see my FINAL project had NOTHING to do with webPDM. NOTHING. So dumb, but oh well, we may recognize part of this project because part of it is the same project that we did at the beginning of the semester, we just added more things to it. We had this HUGE binder due last week with lots of color sheets, tech packs, some webPDM stuff etc. but they are all excel documents and won't upload. They aren't too exciting though, maybe when I get it back I will scan and upload...
 What is most frustrating is that both of these classes had SO much work, very time consuming, and they are only 1 credit........ NOT OKAY!!! The work load was definitely that of a 3 credit class.
