FMP Reflection on college

Nick Blythe

For Nicks project, we had the fashion brand, which included combining two brands and creating a product from both designs, Which I found went well. LJ Hugs involved creating a product to help update LJ's; I created two menus, kids and main. I did find some of it a bit tricky to do but was happy with the outcome. And lastly was the Typography which involved re-design the boards with a quote which we later had to re-do and re-wrote the quote. That was a challenge, having to re-do it again then working with the wooden panels.

Presenting projects - Fashion brand and LJ Hug's

Let downs: Fashion -  5-10 visuals, LJ Hug's - No results for the word search, Typography - ideas coming later.

   
Jo Dolby

For Jo's projects, we had to write a Personal Progression, involving writing our strengths and weakness, media jobs (We are interested in) creating person logos and going out and interviewing the company Minuteman Press Visti. We also wrote out a personal statement for UCAS and a portfolio from previous work we've done.

Presenting - What we want to do after college

Let down - After college presentation because I didn't do it the first time we were meant to present it.

The last project was the research project. We had to look up a subject that relates to our FMP. (My was, Has social media helped the paranormal community?) We then had to research books relating to both subjects, for me it was social media and the paranormal. Along with internet news articles and journey and last interviewing people.

Presenting -  our findings and conclusion

Let Down: The printed piece of work with all the information I did. That was a let down because of a misunderstanding; I thought it was the powerpoint needed. But ended up ok and got done.

For Steve Lesson it started with us coming up with a business plan, I chose to use my book. This including research on the process of a book to get published, to publishers and money will be making or losing. It did help me because I want to be a published author and this gave me an idea on what I need to do or to expect, and I also discovered self-publishing as well which could help with my future.

Let down - The money sheet, that was the hardest part of the project because I put in wrong information and getting weird results.

The Pop-up book project was enjoyable; it was interning seeing different pop-up books than getting to design our own. I chose the coffin scene from snow white where I rewrote the ending.

Let down -  the pop-up background midway on the page it was left blank because I didn't know what to add in because I didn't want half page sky and the other ground, I didn't think it would look right and so left it, and now I wished I had coloured it in.

Museum of Bath work was interesting; I haven't heard of it before until now. Our project was to choose something from the museum and re-design it to make it interesting. I decided to re-design the information sheets for each glass bottles.
