Visual design development
How much detail needs to be put into the labelling and final drawings?
In the Visual design development section of the portfolio, do you lose any marks if you do each area of a garment separately or do you need to sketch the process as a whole garment?
Firstly, you will never lose marks during the marking process. Your job is to gain as many marks as you can. The criteria for the visual design development section of the Marking Guidelines are "Clear communication of the visual design development clearly indicating the link between inspiration and design". You will need to decide if you can best communicate this link by including sketches of particular areas of your garment or item. A finished design is, however, the sum of its parts, and you must certainly communicate the development of the design as a whole, with sketches and evaluations of the complete design.
How much detail needs to be put into the labelling and final drawings?
I'm not sure what you mean by final drawings, however, you will need to present two types of drawings.
In the Visual design development section you will present "appropriately labelled high quality sketches/drawings ... graphic or free ... that ... provide specific information about the design features" (see Assessment criteria in Marking guidelines). So yes, label everything that is appropriate, especially if it relates to the design inspiration.
In the Manufacturing specification section you will present "Production drawings ... that clearly reflect the textile items(s) ... (and) are technical drawings" (see Assessment criteria in Marking guidelines). These are all about views, pattern shapes, scale, proportion, dimensions, etc. They are very straightforward, not stylish at all, not rendered, and are just designed to communicate the intricate detail of your design.
