New Year new Start

After a super looong summer hols, we're all back and have just had our first week, and it's going to be hectic!!eekkkk!!
This term focuses on our jacket project working with the designers, in groups of 5 to produce a jacket, which could also be used in a live project!.My group consists of me, sophie and Melissa (promotion) and then Ameilia and Tanya (design). I'm thinking this is going to be a good group to work with, and develop a really succesful idea.
OUr brief "Traces" means basically looking back at memories, and we have to have a theme to go with that. At our first group meeting last week, we decided on either bad or good memories using lots of dark/grungey styles for dark or a really romantic approach for the good memories. I personally am more set on the dark memories, I think this could really be developed futher and have a really succesful outcome.

In a couple of weeks we as promoters have to present boards on the theme, colours and fabric and customer profile to the designers as you would in industry so they can get designing.
So far Ive just been pulling out images that can be used for the theme board which is the one im producing. I think Im going to need to talk to Jo about the layout of my board though as this is something I found quite difficult and need to improve on.

Aside from this we also have our learning agreement, trend book, and business plan to do!!soooo much work, but i'm realy looking forward to this year!!
On a final note, we got our feedback sheets for our placement reports today and I got 70% for mine. So I was really happy with that and will also try and keep my mind open to other possible careers in the fashion industry like Sarah mentioned!
