The PATTERN DESIGNER
When you look at one of these people , you might not see a traditional creative type . There ’ s no genre-inventing or trendsetting happening in front of them . Instead , the Pattern Designer is someone who draws on the knowledge , styles , and thoughts of others - remixing , reworking , and building them into better structured things . But make no mistake about it ! These creative minds combine playfulness with antithesis of endurance , doggedness , and perseverance . Having as a second mother tongue programs like Gerbers Technology Accumark , Pattern Designers can immediately picture the high-level design in their heads , after referring to the name of a particular pattern . Being the technical backbone to the manufacturing process that goes around in design , they are also great at maintaining a more efficient communication between designers . They show a tendency for being both conservative and rebellious , traditional and extraordinary . They recognize that failing to stretch one ’ s boundaries causes stagnation , leaving the world unchanged , while at the same time , knowing that constant risk-taking rarely fosters novelty or improvement .
The PURCHASER
The majority of this creative type is exceptionally passionate about what they do , while at the same time , they can display an extreme degree of objectivity . Without passion , they lose interest in difficult creative tasks , and without objectivity , the task lacks credibility and may end up not very good . Those combining education in fashion merchandising and business are needed to held accountability and profitability of stores , negotiating with suppliers and orchestrating the sales force , back office support staff and security departments into a cohesive and successful team . ‘ Oh , hello ! In need of a supplier ? A statistic ? A pat on the back ?’ The Purchasers are viewed as little brainy accountants , the glue that holds everything together . They give , they struggle , they find a way to make it happen and they keep their head focused no matter what . So whenever there is an important project that ends with finances and budget plans , we can all admit to the craziness that is revolving around finding an available purchaser . Don ’ t take it the wrong way ; is it only that you are so much better than the rest of us ?
