solving practical and technical problems

throughout the project i have faced practical, technical and theoretical difficulties however have managed to overcome this and i know have done so by having my work completed on time.

during the fmp i had decided to use resources such as illustrator, photoshop, imovie and wgsn for retrieving trend information. the problem was i could only access these resources when at college and using their computers as i didn't have them on my home computer. after realising this was a problem my solution was to ensure that i pre-planned my week and thought about what could be done at college and what could be done at home using the resources i had. leading on from this i would dedicate days to certain tasks. an example would be i knew i could do my social media at home so rather than doing that at college i would edit my campaign video. keeping myself organised and updated helped me solve this issue.

my next practical problem is the range plan and not knowing how to present it in a way which brings across the style of clothing, in the way i envisioned, which was the oversized look, raw hem on shorts, graphic tees etc and after looking online and at wgsn i couldn't find a preexisting drawing that brought this across. I also attempted to use illustrator to design my range however after spending time on this i wasn't making any progress and was becoming wary of the time. therefore to solve this problem i made the decision to sketch the range. this solution was very effective because i was able to draw the range in one day and have it scanned in ready to write my explanation, even though it doesn't look as professional i think it brings the style of clothing across well.
