I mentioned my phone case business to her and mentioned that I aim to continue to develop my designs and business etc. After discussing my thoughts and interest I decided, for now, to narrow down and look at things surrounding my business. Also what I want to achieve this year at uni, for my final honours project.
Things I want todo with my business/honours project;
- develop better and more designs
- learn further about illustrator/photoshop/after effects
- expand onto more products
- create lines
- christmas/typography/etc
- research trends (forecasting)
- interview similar companies as well as bigger companies in the same line of work (such as paper chase) (use instead as a case study in dissertation) (compare)
- look further into branding
- what makes patterns/designs appealing to people
Companies I'm interested in contacting/researching;
- Sighh
- Skinny Dip
- Paperchase
- H&M
- Ohh Dear
Now that I have solid aims and goals for the year, I now feel I can start to pin down a final question for my dissertation. Below are some questions which I can hopefully turn into one final question;
- Which aspects of a brand makes it appealing to the consumer?
- How do trends effect a business working in the retail market?
- How has the rapid development in software transformed the design industry?
- Do the consumers prefer digitally enhanced designs over traditionally designed art on products?
- Is there still a place for traditional art based design, in the modern digital age?
- How to you make art work and design appealing to a larger audience?
I will need to revisit these topic questions later on and narrow down even further. For now, I can research and look wider for inspiration and see where that leads me!
