In this session, we mainly learnt about how to classify brands and products.
At the beginning, I thought my strengths in this workshop is to classify the products, but as the class goes on, I found that I was wrong, especially when we have to classify those sunglasses. When I thought 2 of the sunglasses are the different type, Sarah said it’s actually not.
The part that I need to improve is obviously the analysing part. I hope I can classify them more accurately and analyse the differences between them in the future.
This is my first time learning about buying function, trend forecasting, building a range pyramid and recognising the difference between different fibres and fabric construction types. I never thought about getting into the business pathway, but I know it’s not enough for a designer only to understand how to design. Although I’m not interested in business, it’s a perfect experience.
