Whilst being the most
challenging piece of work so far, due to small time frames and lots of work, I
have also thoroughly enjoyed this unit. The idea of creation and the creative
element involved appealed to me and has given me a huge insight into the real
world of business and what it takes to start a business.
In regards to the work I
have completed, I feel pleased to have completed a full, somewhat legit/working
business plan - something I hadn't thought I'd be capable of prior to the
course. Starting a business after my studies appeals to me, and this unit and
me has helped greatly in understanding exactly what that entails and how I can
go about achieving this.
In regards to level of
work and how I think I have achieved, unfortunately a running issue of mine is
time-keeping, which once again let me down. Whilst I feel I have improved from
previous units/terms, I still feel I could have achieved a greater level of
which I'm more proud of having stuck to my initial deadlines I had planned for
myself, however I am pleased I have been able to somewhat improve on this - due
to the amount of work completed in the time frame. For future I now know I
needed to be stricter on myself and my personal deadlines I have began to
create for my work.
I particularly enjoyed
coming up with a whole business, finding a gap in the market and seeing what I
can do to fulfill that. I also in particular enjoyed the visually creative
stuff - creation of the logo/visuals and video. It has enabled to confirm
my interests and where I wish to take my future career after my studies have
finished. Other elements I feel I have done well are the creation of marketing
ideas/activities and concepts. Again, this appealed to me due to it having a
creative nature as well as relying on coming up with ideas.
A weakness, and
something I struggled with is the financial figures. I understand now more
research was needed to make it easier to understand how the figures added up. I
realise know that I should have learnt this from previous struggles with
numbers and financial elements (in particular from FBM of this course),
although this has enabled me to realise it’s something I need to deeply improve
on for future success in a fashion business environment.
Another weakness from my
work I feel is the slight lack of theories. Again, a common issue of mine is to
be too descriptive rather than analytical. Again – whilst I feel I have
improved this, looking back I still feel it could have been improved further
through adding theoretical approaches rather than simply explaining my ideas.
Overall, I feel this
unit, whilst slightly stressful, has been a pleasing end to my two years
studying the course and has enabled me to feel excited about continuing my
studies at London College of Fashion.
