Elinor Prince proposes a final project for her graphic design and photography course where she will create her own clothing brand called "Notion Clothing". She will design a logo, print it on shirts, and promote the brand on social media and posters created in Photoshop. Elinor will research local print shops and font options for the logo. She will also research locations to photograph models in the clothing. To evaluate her work, Elinor will keep a weekly reflective journal and create an evaluation presentation analyzing her strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. She believes this ongoing and final self-reflection will help develop her skills for further study and career in media.

Centre Name and Number:
York College 48357
Student Name and Unique Learner Number:
Elinor Prince 401951
Project proposal title and date:
Notion Clothing
Main area of activity:
Graphic Design and Photography
Rationale:
This year I have made a variety of different things such as a music video, an adventure game- a
film poster and magazine to go with it. From creating these I have developed further knowledge on
the apps photoshop and premiere pro which I hadn’t used before starting York College. I will use
these skills I have learned and put them to use when creating my final project, specifically
photoshop as I will be creating my magazine for my clothing brand on that app and using the
different tools to edit my photos in many ways that I have learnt from messing around with the app
and practising or YouTube tutorials.
Project Concept:
The concept of my project is that I will be designing my own logo and printing it onto clothing and
advertising the brand through social media and creating posters on photoshop to advertise the
product. I will also be photographing models in the clothing to go onto the posters. The research I
will have to conduct is finding a place where I can get my design, I draw printed onto a shirt and
research the prices of this. I will also have to research different fonts and do many drafts to see
what I prefer and what looks the best with the logo and colours I choose. I will also have to figure
out what vibe I want and where I want to photograph the models wearing the clothing and the
different locations. By researching similar existing products this will help me gather an idea for how
I want my final project to look as they give me inspiration and is something I am interested in. For
the way I want my photographs to look I researched into different cameras that give you the old
school look and I learnt that a disposable camera is the cheapest alternative for what I want to
achieve so I will buy this to favour what I want.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed: 50 words approx.
The way I will evaluate my work is by going through my work I have done and analysing my
strengths and weaknesses and how I could have improved it with more time and how I would
improve it. This will be done by a weekly reflective journal and the evaluation PowerPoint. I will
also show it to other people so I can gather their opinions on what went well and what did not go
well for my project.
How do you plan to evaluate the work? Reference conducting on-going evaluation (Production
Reflections) and your final self-reflection (Evaluation), analysing your work and its outcomes.
How will this process help developing your working practices as you continue with your
study/media career?
