Progress tutorials with amber

Progress Tutorial  01

I should blog all my work for the context part of my practice that is included in my dissertation. This is relevant towards the study of what i'm doing, this is important so that my practice can then be linked and related over the complete section of everything. 

Look at the work of Si Scott from Hotel Chocolate in Copenhagen

Start to contact event places for the 2nd event that we plan to do for OTTO, there is some good places but they may charge so make sure to check early and try find a place that wont charge.
   - White Cloth Gallery 
   - Mexico 
   - Warf Chambers 

COMPLETE PREPERATION FORM and figure out my audience for each brief and who i am as a creative professional 

In the preparation form put in Primary and Secondary sections so i can put my main focus into the primary and then what else i would look at for the second section of my briefs 

Make sure that i ask Rosie everything that i need to know about her so that when she's really busy in a few weeks that i don't have to keep pestering her constantly

Email amber to forward me some graphic journals

First Meeting with rosie

After having this first meeting with Rosie, it showed that it was rather unclear on what she wanted from all of this, so i gave her a range of questions to which she needs to go away and answer so that i have a clear understanding of what she wants from this.
Information i was able to gather from the interview:
     - She wants the branding to be high end so that it looks, professional, simple and clean.
     - Her company focus so far is on shirts
     - She isn't sure if she wants a logo and type or just one or the other
     - Her audience are creative professionals and fashion conscious adults.


Materials that she mainly works with
Leather


Colours that Rosie mainly uses is:
Greens
Beige 
Black 
White 


Other Designers that inspire Rosie:
Kooples
Acne 

Self Branding from last module

This is the branding which i have completed in the previous module, now i have to build and develop a range of more ways to expand on this and create a branding brief so that i'm able to get myself out there in a professional style to which i'm happy with. 

This will range from various things, the logo i'm happy with and something that i want to keep but i will build the process of how i will complete all of these things and what i want to hand out in the end. 

Planning for the meeting

I have emailed the manager Lee O'leary and i have managed to get a meeting with the manager of SteelTech where i will be able to ask a few questions on what i want to achieve and what he wants from the re-brand. This will be a great chance to get all ideas and concepts down on the table so we both know where we stand. The only issue next would be what questions would i need to ask to make sure i don't waste time or look unprofessional when i go to meet him. Below is a range of questions that i'm going to ask:

Questions i will ask:

• What do you want your company image to say and what do you want it to communicate? 
• What budget do you have for the re-brand?
• What would you like to be included in the branding?
• What quantities would you be wanting printed in the first print run?
• Is there a deadline for when you want everything completed?
• When would you most likely be available again so we can go over the pre-proposed designs?
• Is there anything that you have seen that you feel intrested in when it comes to other companies branding?
• Is there anything you would like to add before we finish this meeting?
