Today we had a full day of talks with different industry professionals. It was such a beneficial day and I have gained a lot of knowledge form each of them.
We first spoke to Sharon Morrison from DartDesignLtd, where she spoke a little about her background with working for UCC and how she also modelled for us. She then continued to talk about her ideas regarding PR for us 3rd year students and ways to get our work seen. We are very lucky to be invited show some of our work on the DartDesignLtd website, which I have sent over some images for. This is a great opportunity for us to get some expose and I look forward to having our work on there.

We then had Lucy Scragg, the owner of Lucy Cant Dance, who I actually work for, give us a talk. She went over how she started the business and gave us a few tips on how to keep motivated in quarantine which was great, and I felt it was helpful for the other students too as I have gained so much knowledge from her throughout the 2 years working there.
The last talk of the day was from Becky Irons, who is a Production Manager, working with H&M to put together all of their advertising. She deals with over 82 markets and is in charge of a team of 8 other staff. He role includes putting together all of the visuals for the company, including logos, price, colour profiles and everything in-between for magazines they will be in such as vogue, and all of their store front marketing. She gave a very different outlook on the industry as she is from a photography background, and I feel she has given us a good insight into what working in the fashion industry may be like if we work for a large brand like H&M.
