Mentor Talk 28/11/19

Speaking to my mentor Abbie Cook in person was such a good experience. She is so knowledgable and I feel she will bring a lot to my third year at UCC. We discussed a lot of information today in our meeting. I first went through my project with her and she gave me a lot of feedback and advice for it. Her advice was that I could push my prints a little more by adding flock and foil, and possibly get them printed again in a few different fabrics to see how they would come out. She thought my colour pallet was successful, and that I was on track, but to keep producing lots of toilet and experiments for each design. I need to keep using my sketchbook to constantly push and develop my ideas, and make sure I reflect and analyse continuously. As for my CV we also roughly discussed it but Abbie will send me her notes on it at a later date to look at and use to improve my current CV. Overall her first visit was very successful, and I feel we will get on well and she will be able to help me a lot this year.
