First year of being an FCP Student: Stop, Start, Reflection..

Fashion Week Guide For Dummies Pt 1: Tickets & Passes
First year seems to have flown by in a flash and I am now looking forward to broadening my knowledge moving into second year! Looking back over my first year as an FCP student, I believe I have become more confident within my work and the skills I have learnt during the course. 

What are my strengths?
- Creating a strong structure and design recipe to reflect the brand being analysed
- Authoriative and convincing tone of voice
- Clear documentation of research - Harvard referencing was precise and well sourced
- Extensive research from both the required reading list and extra resources
- Considered, organised and detalied approach to my workbook; showing a clear development of ideas
- Clear and detailed Blog; frequent posts with a mixture of personal reflection and posts to show how I am expanding my FCP knowledge
- Good use of historical and cultural references

What do I need to improve?
- Ensure all visuals are of the highest quality to ensure I don't loose marks over these small details
- Pay close attention to professional publications for inspiration
- Play up to my interests within my workbook and blog posts

How will I keep the 'passion alive' for FCP?
- Continue to keep my work at a high standard by ensuring that I have a genuine interest in the work that I am creating
- Spend time researching other areas of FCP to broaden my knowledge for the course
- Experiment within my work to see how far I can take it and how I can make it unique
