I've decided I'm going to blog more often, two reasons, one being that if I write too much people won't read it (not sure if anyone is anyway but hey ho) and secondly if I am to use this blog as my diary for the MA then its easier for me to pinpoint exact details rather than having too much info on one page.

So over the weekend I played with geometrics. I am still finding it hard to rationalise that what I am doing is work, because sometimes it feels like play! According to WGSN and Premiere Vision geos are going to be big in 2018 and the trend of athleticwear is going to continue, so with that in mind and with my Pilates instructor hat on, that's what I am going to try and do for my first portfolio. I think, at the minute it is anyway, but things may change!


We also went to Westonbirt Arboretum on Sunday, it was a glorious sunny autumnal day, so we joined the hordes and went for a walk. The trees are just turning so we might have been a bit presumptive going there this weekend but either way it was a glorious day and this tree caught my eye.

Doing something new is always a bit daunting, but with hindsight you wonder what all the worry was about in the first place. Today its fabric shopping and macrame workshop in the afternoon.

A mixed day yesterday, I was in at my usual time, straight to the MA room and there was a BA tutorial going on. I asked if it was ok to use the room and I was given the go ahead. Great, set up my laptop and start to write my presentation that needs to be in in 3 weeks or so. I'm trying to get this bit out of the way because I know I'll need time to perfect the powerpoint part of the presentation because this is not a strong point for me. My presentation is on Trend Prediction, looking at the history of it, how they go about doing it, how prediction has changed with the arrival of social media and then what Li Edelkoort will talk about in her presentation that I am going to on the 23rd. I need to come up with some sort of argument, so my presentation is different should anyone else decide to do something along the same lines. I'm not sure what this is yet, traditional vs modern trend prediction - is the traditional method still valid. I also caught up with my Cr...
