WEEK 8: FINAL PUSH

THIS WEEK IS THE LAST WEEK FOR ME AT UNI SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE DONE ALL THAT I CAN TO HELP MY GROUP FOR NEXT WEEK AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE READY FOR THE PITCH ON MONDAY. I WAS IN PARIS ON MONDAY SO WASN’T ABLE TO GO ON THE TRIP BUT I HAVE BEEN UPDATED BY MY GROUP AND NOW FOLLOW THE INSTAGRAM PAGE. WHILST I WAS IN PARIS I DID ACTUALLY MANAGE TO GET TO THE GIVENCHY STORE AND I STARTED TO MAY MUCH MORE ATTENTION TO STORE DISPLAYS AND THE RETAILING EXPERIENCE. FOR EXAMPLE I REALLY LIKED THE LOUIS VUITTON STORE AND I ALSO WENT INTO A REALLY COOL DEPARTMENT STORE. THE VISUAL MERCHANDISING WAS REALLY INTERESTING BUT ITS FUNNY TO SEE HOW I’M NOTICING THESE THINGS SUB CONSCIOUSLY AFTER WORKING ON THE BRANDING.

I WAS BACK AT UNI ON TUESDAY AND NOT GONNA LIE WAS STRESSED OU AS SOON AS I WALKED IN BUT WE KNUCKLED DOWN ALL DAY AND GOT ALOT SORTED. I CARRIED ON WITH THE SKETCH UP WORK I WAS DOING AS WELL AS DISCUSSING WHAT WAS GOING TO GO IN EACH SLIDE AND HOW WE WAS GOING TO DIVIDE IT. I ALREADY FOUND THE FONTS THAT WE WERE GOING TO USE IN THE PITCH AND HAVE ALOT OF IMAGES THAT WE CAN USE TO KEEP THE PITCH ON BRAND SO THAT WAS ONE ASPECT SORTED. TALKING THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IN THE PITCH REALLY MADE US REALISE THAT WE ALL KNEW EXACTLY WHAT OUR CONCEPT WAS AND THAT WE (PERSONALLY THINK) THAT WE HAVE A STRONG IDEA.

ALUN ALSO SPOKE ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT PRESENT THE PITCH SO WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD HAVE LITTLE HAND OUTS (PROGRAMMES ALMOST) TO GIVE OUR “CLIENTS” A FEEL FOR OUR BRAND, WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE ARE DOING. LIV AND EVE ALSO SAID THAT THEY WOULD SPLIT THE WRITING BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM AS ME AND TALLULAH HAD DONE THE CAD MOCK UPS. IT TOOK ME ALOT LONGER TO DO THAN TALLULAH BUT I GOT THERE IN THE END AND I HAVE ALSO DONE A SKETCH OF THE GROUND FLOOR TO ACCOMPANY IT.

WE ALSO MET ON WEDNESDAY FOR THE DAY TO JUST FINALISE ALL OF OUR IDEAS AND MAKE SURE THAT MOST OF THE WORK WAS DONE BY TONIGHT IF NOT FRIDAY BY THE LATEST. WE ARE IN A GOOD PLACE AND ARE READY FOR MONDAY AS MUCH AS WE CAN BE. WE WILL ALSO ALL BE IN TOUCH OVER OUR WHATSAPP GROUP AS WE ARE ALL WORKING IN THE EVENINGS AT HOME AND MAKING SURE WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.I HAVE ALSO BEEN WORKING ON AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE FLOOR PLAN THAT WE COULD . POTENTIALLY USE ON THE PROGRAMME WE ARE GOING TO HAND OUT. I AM JUST WAITING ON TALLULAH TO FINISH THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR SO THAT I CAN SEE HOW SHE HAS DONE THE FLOOR PLAN.
