Week 5-6

The past few weeks have been very intense. Getting back to University made me realise just how much is expected of us in this final project compared to the rest so I am quite excited as well as nervous and feeling the pressure.

It has been useful to come back to University after the break and get some feedback on the work we are doing and to meet with tutors and peers again to know I am on the right track. I have also found the excel classes to be incredibly useful, not only in refreshing knowledge from years ago at school but also in learning new formulas and understanding better what is expected and how we are to go about the financial planning, which is the part I am perhaps the most apprehensive about in the report as it is the least familiar.

The report is coming together nicely and I am really happy with my business plan. Having spoken to Sian and Rachel Velody last week I have refreshed enthusiasm in my ideas as it was nice to see a positive reaction when I put them across. I have decided to do a prestige range of limited footwear for Aldo and to incorporate collaborations with big names such as Louboutin. I have therefore also started having fun with the creative element and have a clearer idea for my advert. I hope to have a storyboard and some other visuals ready to upload by next week and will also want to have filmed the advert very soon as the editing is also something very new to me and I want it to look really good.

It has been a very positive few weeks and I am going ahead full steam to try to make this the best project yet and something I can be really proud of!
