I’m quite excited about the IFBF unit in semester 2 as this unit studies on trends and future outlooks. I am hoping to gain lots of insight for my future personal business and inform myself on direction and spaces to operate in.

Other areas where I would need to focus on are East Asia and China specifically, as that will be my main locations for market in the future.

Throughout this unit, my aim is to further look into areas of the above mentioned geographical regions, as well as the gaming and entertainment industry, while I look to develop something of phygital fashion in nature.

what, how, when – to improve communication skills

How can you use storytelling to promote yourself?

• I would need to sit down with myself, identify the key selling points and value adds I can provide a company or organization. What makes me unique?
• Then, I would need to link all of the selling points into a story narrative. A story telling technique I could use would be the Hero’s Journey, for example.
• The narrative should be sprinkled with personal experiences and touches that make the story unique and memorable. I will consider adding humor into it.

We tend to focus and drill down on our self perceived weaknesses and not put enough emphasis on our strengths.

Reflecting on networking

Recognized a gap in my own network that I need to develop during the course of the year

• meet other design students, one per month, take a walk upstairs in the LCF building and look at who’s staying late for their design homework, ask them questions, discover their designs
• for the site visits, add the facilitators and industry professionals on LinkedIn, stay connected and see what they’re up to, keep that connection for potential use in the future
