STOP. START. REFLECT.

FIRST YEAR AS A FCP STUDENT

First year has seemed to gone by in a flash and it's a strange feeling to say that in a matter of weeks I'll be a second year student, already! Looking back at my first year as a FCP student I believe I have become more comfortable and confident surrounding projects I have created throughout the first year of the course.

STRENGTHS:

  • Grasped the context of Harvard Referencing (to my surprise)
  • Good visual development and structure 
  • Strong marketing theories 
  • Strong use of models 
  • Clear documentation of research 
  • Good use of cultural referencing 
  • Illustration ability is strong 
  • Frequent and reflective Blog


WHERE TO IMPROVE:


  • Explore existing publications and layouts for inspiration for different designs 
  • Experiment with design features on my blog....don't be afraid of colour!
  • Be more visual in my workbook 
  • Ensure my images are to highest quality 
  • Be more attentive and more familiar with consumer's needs 

REFLECTION:

  • To stay consistent, especially over the summer, I plan to not only keep up to date with reading materials, (magazines, books purchased), but also gain inspiration from attending exhibitions and galleries
  • Widen my knowledge of the fashion industry by also exploring other areas of the industry, (marketing, design etc) 
  • Keep experimenting and improving my skills in Photoshop and Illustrator to enable me to progress and gain more skills 

Overall, I feel I have developed an numerous amount of skills since joining FCP, though that may sound cliche I feel my approach to matters of giving presentations and creating digital files have become confident. Let's see what FCP2 brings!
