1 TO 1 & DESIGNER EXTENSION…

Yesterday morning I had my 1 to 1 session with my tutor, Adele. It was really nice being able to go into university and speak with Adele in a physical teaching space.

It was a 10 minute slot altogether. I was confident to tell Adele that with the deadline only a week away, I am almost finished and that I am feeling generally okay with it. One thing that I haven’t yet focused my attention to is the range development and pricing architecture. I flagged this to Adele, openly saying that I am a bit confused by this. She gave me some useful tips of how I can get cracking with pricing up the garments. She also suggested that I start with this sooner rather than later.

A slight problem that I have recently faced is that my designer Evie has an extension for her own work. When she told me this, I automatically worried that I would not get what I need from her before the deadline. I evaluated and realised that though she is getting an extension, I only need her digital designs, and I am aware that she has finished these. I will be getting my hands on them as soon as possible to feature in my Brand Launch Pack. I told Adele that my designer has an extension, but she put me at ease and allowed me not to worry. She advised that I try my best to work with what Evie has up to date, and because of this, a few elements in the Brand Book would need to be altered. I was also told that this would not penalise me in regards to marking and grades, which made me feel better.

With the deadline in a week, I am going to use these next 7/8 days working on my final touches including the price architecture, a few digital mock ups and my critical path. Out of any project I have done before, this has definitely be the one tightest for time. With previous projects, I am often complete with a good 5 - 7 days spare to double and triple check my work. This project and overall module has definitely been a challenge, but the finish line is in site and just one last push is needed.
