2nd Year - First Week

I've now been back at uni for a week and well into my two main projects as a promoter. I decided to choose the promotion side of the course for various reasons, these included;

• My interests lie within magazine work, styling and buying
• More career opportunities
• Dislike designing

The first unit we were briefed on, was our group project. It involves working as a team with both promoters and designers to create a jacket, based on the theme 'Traces' - 'Memories'. The people in my group are Zoe, Leanne and Sarah. We have already had one meeting, in which we brainstormed all of our ideas and possible themes and today we had another brief team meeting where we discussed our ideas further. Myself and Sarah finally came up with the name of our theme, which is 'Castaway'. The sub-themes/ideas are;

• memory boxes
• message in a bottle
• releasing balloons
• time capsules

These will also be the 4 sub-themes in our trend book.
