Best foot forward

The following images show a number of shoes from the collection dating from the 1960s to the 2010s.

To begin to build a portfolio:

• Choose one pair of shoes
• Research it and the date around which it was manufactured
• Investigate all areas of consumerism of that time, the type of houses being built, interior architecture, fashion design, car design etc.
• From your research, identify a real or made up person from around that date, and design their full lifestyle
• With emphasis on your chosen art, design or media discipline, decide everything about this person from their shoes outwards to build a complete profile as your portfolio
