Out of the pictures I took, I chose ths one because it is representative of the Creative Inspiration mood board that I made from my necklace. With my eyeliner and simple makeup, my simplicity and strength is apparent. And my color scheme is shown from my sweater and necklace as well.

#ParsonsxTeenVogue Retail Marketing Assignment For this assignment, we were tasked with visiting a local retail store and evaluating the "Visual Merchandising" and the design of the store. The first thing that I noticed about Kate Spade was is attactive windows. From the outside, you could see some of the clothes on display and window stickers unique to the company. I believe the inside of the store was purposefully painted white in its design because Kate Spade's creations are notoriously bright and full of interesting patterns; this automatically makes everything pop out. The store was so bright and clean, it was so pleasant to be there and it made me want to explore and buy everything. As for the store layout, The beginning of the store has the newest fashions and styles from the brand. There was a culmination of bags, just bags everywhere, which makes sense because her bags are another thing that her brand is known for. The layout of the store was elongated so as to not have the patrons feel like the location was flooded. The first half of the store was separated in half by the tables to better create a flow by the patrons. In the middle of the store, there was a section to connect the first half of the store to the second. This section had the accessoires that were available to purchase. The second half of the store had clothes that were a bit out of the typical Kate Spade look. There were shoes, handbags and dresses that weren't as colorful as the former half. A little bit further, the fitting rooms were located in the back. I tried to look for a place where there would be a sale but this location did not have one set up at the time. I realized that Kate Spade is too upscale for a repeating sales rack and that this type of clientele would be identified by mailing list, or in store of any special promotions going on at the time. All in all the experience was very insightful because if I were ever to have a brick & mortart store, I would want it to look very close to this store; with the exception of the lighting. I tend to go with darker colors and tones so I'd want the store to reflect that; more wood, darker lighting etc.

Your Pitch Assignment

We had to come up with an elevator pitch that we would use to advocate for ourselves and what we wanted in a future position. I'm in the Marketing/Advertising industry and I just wanted to give a slight background about myself, my experience and the areas I want to eventually explore.

#ParsonsxTeenVogue Production Costs Assignment In this assignment we were tasked with evaluating the costs of the product that we created for the "Your Idea" Assignment. In my case, I wanted ot create a simple bracelet that complimented my idea for main product to sell on behalf of my brand. In gathering all of these materials, I realized how serious it is to find the exact materials that you want. I had to evaluate stylings based on what I could afford but it was difficult sacrificing one thing for another. Once you have something imagined in your mind about the way a certain thing should be, espeically something that you want to create, it's very hard to relinquish on your vision. Because some of my matherials came in bulk, I had to find the different costs that I incurred in total versus the costs that it takes to actually make just one of the bracelets. It's things like this that made me realize what a daunting process this must be for someon in the sector of the industry.
