Last post?

Hello,

I feel as though this could be my last post :(

It is the morning of hand in and I'm sitting at this laptop feeling crazy about the fact that not only fmp is over but also my time at the FRA!

What on earth?!

I have made such good friends and have enjoyed my time there so so much. I don't want to leave!!

But there we go, now I need to apply for more jobs and get myself out there. Oh and go on holiday!

If only it could be sunny today and it would top it all off. But no!!

Oh wellllllll

FINAL DAY

Guess what...


I've printed and bound my FMP!

I literally cannot believe it. I rocked up to staples at 7.30, shaking like a leaf and they said I just had time, phewf.

What I will say is that its a good job I saved as numbered jpegs in a printing file as well as powerpoint because the quality of the powerpoint print out was so so bad. I thought I was going to faint when I saw it!

Butttttttt it all worked out and I am so pleased with it.

Now I just need to attach the trims for my buyers pack and get a few more things printed for my research file.

I can't wait to hand in!!

I know..

After going through each and every page of my FMP, I have decided that I will be displaying both of my range boards for the presentation.

I think they will immediately show the person, where I went with my project and that I thoroughly researched the trends and stuck in one direction.

To be honest, they are the most suited, what else would I have put up?!

phew

What to display?!

We've all been emailed saying that we have to pick 2 pages from our project to print in A3 which will go above our presentation area for graduation.

I seriously don't know which ones to choose - they'll look so random!

Hmmm, thinking caps on!

Update

I've almost finished everything now!

It's crazy what a double bank holiday weekend can do when you lock yourself away. haha!

I just need to finish off sourcing and check everything off.

It is taking absolutely ages to actually save each photoshop file as a jpeg. why why why.

I've decided I'm going to print and bind at staples so went there today where I was advised to save each file as a jpeg and place it into a powerpoint document. I must say I'm a bit skeptical, not least because it's going to take an absolute age. So I'm putting each jpeg into powerpoint and also a printing folder in case I don't like the way they come out from powerpoint - could be blurred and smaller than a4.

Err, what else have I got to do?

About a million things that seem to just pop up each time I finish something.

Oh well, deadline soon!!

ASOS homepage!

Look what I have just seen as the first thing that comes up on asos.com..


It says, 'FESTIVAL SPIRIT, the new look for festivals features global prints and OTT embellishments'

WOO!

So I am now feeling confident that ASOS could run with something in the style that I am doing.

EXCITING!

UO Festival Collection

Well, I thought Topshop had played their cards right.

And then came the Urban Outfitters collection. Offering so many different categories, they've got their selection down to perfection.

They've also considered non-clothing for the collection i.e. wine bottle covers and hip flasks which add a really cool touch!

Something I could look into although I don't know if I could face the merch!

I've put together a quick board of the collection so take a look.

It is so 'UO'.

I have picked this head-dress out too - it's the most beautiful thing I've seen but who could pull it off? I'm tempted..
