Today was really helpful as we went through the changes to the module guide, and exactly what we needed to do for PDP. Our presentations have been pushed back so we have more time to prepare, and we have decided our portfolio will act as our way of showing our work. We discussed our instagramContinue reading “Course Changes”

During todays meeting with Gill we discussed how we think we could promote our work through the new working from home problem. We had some discussion, and decided that a group instagram would be the perfect way, as it is a collaborative platform where we can show images of our work, and connect with industryContinue reading “Promotion Discussions”

I have had a really positive response from my mentor during this quarantine and she has been really supportive. Although it is very difficult to fully engage, it is very similar to how we would have communicated before, through emails and direct messages. We have recently discussed how this situation will effect us, my universityContinue reading “Mentorship during quarantine”

Due to graduate Fashion Week being cancelled, some students have created an account to repost 2020 fashion students work. I contacted them directly and asked to be featured, and they did.
