Young Enterprise.

This week in professional, in our groups we had to make some prototypes for our Young Enterprise project.

It's been very difficult this year staying on top of everything but I'm excited to hand-in Contextual early this year and have more time concentrating on my studio modules and professional.

I think the Young Enterprise opportunity will be great for my future and give me confidence selling my own work when I'm self employed.

We have a lot of work ahead of us but I think we're managing everything very well.

I've learnt a lot about buyer behavior and the process we go through when purchasing a product.

Here are just some of the prototype rings I made last week.

This week we have to make a buyer behavior profile of the kind of person that would buy our products.

We're wanting to settle in the hand-made/craft fair and new designers market

we also have to link some of our products to trends if we can.

What kind of trends do you like that are happening right now and which ones do you really hate?

Kick up the backside..

..we all really need one! 

Today in Professional studies we were taken through our new brief which looks really exciting and scary at the same time!

We're joining a site called Young Enterprise

We have to raise £100 in our groups, which we have to convince our tutor the group is beneficial.

Next we will work in our groups each week until February and then we're selling our products in the Metrocentre in Newcastle.

Well I can't wait to dive into this year head first.

I've been slowly building my kit while I have money to invest. I want to use the studios for tasks I can't do at home, this will help me manage my time better since there never seems to be enough of it!

There will be an increase in activity on my blog this year, feeling encouraged!

Hope everyone is keeping well <3
