"Design and the market aims to introduce you to enterprise culture and terinology and to place the practise of design within a buissness context."
The start of a new project with Mike Press and Christina Hurst. We are going to learn how to brand ourselves correctly so that we stand out from the crowd. Invent yourself when you are successful, keep the enthusiasm going, always be one step ahead.
The first project we are splitting into two groups of six, sticking in our classes. First week, we are choosing an artist/designer/company to research as a team. It is harder than you think as there are so many inspiring people who have the skills to brand themselves creatively yet still with a competitively business like mindset.
I will be posting on my blog once a week so get ready.
Here are a few of our ideas:

She graduated from Duncan and Jordanstone as a textile designer specialising in print and weave. Shortly after graduating Taisir embarked on her mission to embrace the bold and abstract. Come with me on my never-ending journey of discovery as new influences inspire my designs; at time unpredictable, but always exciting and compelling"
