UPDATE #6

Sunday, 31 March 2019

Since last week, I have picked up my printed t shirts and tote bag from the printers and have also conducted further primary research.







This week is mostly about preparing for next weeks shoots, as both the lookbook and video shoot is scheduled for the following week. I have received all orders and bought any additional accessories form Primark to help with my outfits. I am packing all clothing in separate bags inside the suitcase to make sure i am as prepared as possible!






I have also written a brief for the photographer and a schedule for the day to ensure things run smoothly.

This week i have been focussing on organising for my photoshoot, as this is coming up in less than 2 weeks. I have planned all outfits for each model and began ordering these things online. Each model will have 2 outfits and thus, this will mean there is 8 looks in total. I took a trip to Cheshire Oaks designer outlet to see if i could buy any Levi's clothing for my shoot at a discounted price. I found a t shirt and pair of mens shoes that will work with the outfits i have planned out.
I found these t shirt designs in the store that looked hugely similar to my designs and i felt that had created something very suitable for Levi's.



In preparation for my shoot, i have created mood boards for the MUA and Photographer.


I conducted research into Mind's previous collaborations and found these bracelets in collaboration with Ternary London. I really like the simplicity of the design and branding of this collab. This may be something to incorporate within my work.

I have spent this week organising for my photoshoot. I have now booked a studio and a photographer, and planned to shoot on the 2nd April.



This week has also involved scouting for models and styling outfits online, in preparation for purchasing the correct sizes once models have been determined. I posted on Facebook asking for models to participate in a uni project shoot on a TFP basis. I have received a number of promising responses and I'm excited to shoot with young creatives! 

These are the models that i have booked:






I have also made a rough plan of the promotional video, after last weeks' discussion with the videographer.

FEASIBILITY REPORT WEEK! 
This week has been focussing on the completion of my feasibility report, as submission was on Friday. I am excited to know what mark i have been given, although i am also anxious to move forward with my project in case i need to change anything majorly.

I have met with my videographer this week (Tuesday) to discuss the promotional campaign video for the collaborative collection launch. We discussed initial ideas and i explained the concept of my video. He advised me to nail down my thoughts and create a storyboard to plan out the scenes.

I have also designed the t shirt logo designs too, this week.



I have been in contact with a local printshop to organise these designs to print. I have bought the plain t shirts from Primark and ordered a linen tote bag from Ebay too. 

UPDATE #2

Sunday, 3 March 2019

Since last week, I have decided to create a collaboration between Levi's X Mind. Levi's are a brand which have been involved in many charitable collaborations and are an ethical, inclusive brand. From the large size selection to their work with the LGBTQ+ community, they seem like the perfect fit for a collaboration with mental health charity, Mind.

I have refreshed my gantt chart now to plan for this project pathway and have undergone in depth research into Levi's and Mind as brands.




I have also conducted primary research this week:
