C.Crew December 2013 | Page 22

Today, Professor Zuckerman had one of her previous students come in to talk about what he is currently doing in the industry and how taking her class has benefited him. He was extremely funny and I enjoyed hearing how he used social media such as Facebook to network and meet with impressive, fashion directors of multiple highend companies. I thought it was funny how Facebook, something majority of my generation uses, would never use it to network to professionals. When I think of online networking I immediately think of LinkedIn, which I guess is just a professional form of Facebook. While he was speaking about his project and career journal, it hit me; my idea for my career journal. I immediately took out a pen   and a piece of paper to jot down my thoughts before they slipped my mind (which tends to happen too often) and I wrote. I came up with the idea to implement what I love and who I am, C.Crew. I am going to make up a mock up version of a J.Crew catalog. My friend who is photography major will take pictures of me and some of my friends all in J.Crew clothes creating the same theme and look as they do. We will go to multiple locations as well as the studio to take pictures. I will become the Creative Director of this photo-shoot and I will be filming the whole “Behind the scenes” footage and include that in my journal as well. I want this to portray who I am, what I am want to do and everything in between. I am very excited to get started! 22
