This was an intense workshop. It was incredibly fast pace and in secured my thinking that I want to go into promotion rather than design. I started off the workshop by creating 6 t-shirts, 6 tops, 6 skirts, 6 pairs of trousers, 6 jackets and 6 coats. I found coats and jackets the most difficult and I found myself thinking too much about it rather than sketching my initial first design ideas.
I knew before completing this workshop that I wanted to go into promotion and not design and this day definitely clarified this for me. It was definitely interesting to have a go at the process, to watch different catwalks and to critique different collections. The goal of the day was to have a completed collection of designs, something that I didn't manage to complete. Each part of the day was timed and went incredibly quickly. I found it quite stressful to complete the desired number of designs and found my self designing because I had to and not because I wanted to. I do enjoy designing but I can't see myself doing it day in day out as a full time job.
