I HAVE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED BOTH ASPECTS OF THIS FASHION FUTURES PROJECT. THE INITIAL TASK WORKING WITH LACOSTE WAS BOTH EXCITING AND CHALLENGING. I FELT THAT PLACEMENT YEAR AIDED ME WELL TO PRODUCE RELEVANT RESEARCH AND DEVELOP DESIGNS THAT WERE ON BRAND AND COMMERCIAL. I DEVELOPED MY COMMUNICATION SKILLS BOTH WITH PEERS, TUTORS AND LACOSTE DESIGNERS IN INFORMAL AND FORMAL SETTINGS. I ALSO ENJOYED THE TASK OF DESIGNING THE PROMOTION AND MARKETING FOR THE TRAINER. CHALLENGES WERE FACED WITHIN THIS PART OF THE MODULE WHEN COLLABORATING WITH AN ALTERNATIVE COURSE. INITIALLY THE TWO DIFFERENT STYLES OF WORKING FROM EACH COURSE WAS AN OBSTACLE HOWEVER THROUGH DISCUSSION AND PLANNING WE WERE ABLE TO PULL ALL OUR STRENGTHS TOGETHER IN ORDER TO CREATE A PROFESSIONAL AND INNOVATIVE OUTPUT. PERSONALLY I FEEL I TOOK ON A LEADERSHIP ROLE WITHIN THIS TASK, AS I FELT CONFIDENT WITH MY EXPERIENCE ON PLACEMENT YEAR TO GUIDE THE GROUP.
WITHIN THE SECOND, AND INDIVIDUAL TASK WITHIN THIS MODULE I HAVE ENJOYED WORKING TO A FLEXIBLE AND PERSONAL BRIEF. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP MY OWN IDEAS, WHICH I HAVE BEEN EXCITED TO DO FOR A WHILE. I HAVE THRIVED THROUGH HAVING A STRONG CONCEPT AND HAVE ENJOYED THE FUTURISTIC ASPECT. I FEEL THAT MY LAYOUT SKILLS AND TECHNICAL DRAWINGS HAVE DEVELOPED THROUGH THIS MODULE AS THEY HAVE HAD TO BE CREATIVE AND PRACTICAL, AS WELL AS THE FACT I HAD NEVER DRAWN SHOE FLATS PRIOR. CHALLENGES I HAVE FACED IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE PROJECT HAS BEEN THE FREEDOM. IT IS ENJOYABLE SETTING YOUR OWN BRIEF AS I HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE HOWEVER IT HAS REQUIRED MORE DEDICATION AND THOUGHT FROM ME IN TERMS OF THE NECESSARY OUTCOME FROM MY PORTFOLIO AND AREAS I SHOULD DIRECT MY STUDY.
