I am very glad to say that this is my last term. This last term, the remaining subjects that I have are Future Fashion Project and Future Proof Personal Development Planning. I can say that this term is quite tiring because this is the last term and I must be able to give my best for my last task in this degree. I thought during this term I have more free time because most of the assignments have been done since the previous term. In fact, there are still things that need to be improved and double checked in order to give the best results.
The very tiring subject is Future Fashion Project. However, this lesson really helped me to prepare myself before entering the real industry. This subject required me to create a business plan and set up my own brand. I decided to create a body care brand called Remedi Natural Bodycare. I feel interested to learn more about skin health and what products are good for human skin to absorb since there are a lot of chemical ingredients inside body care sold in the market that can make damage for skin. Moreover, I also just found out that fashion is a really big industry. At the very beginning, I thought that fashion only covers clothes, shoes, bag and accessories. And through this subject, I realize that skin care, body care and makeup are also a part of fashion.
In my last term, I have almost completed my business plan. In this term, I receive feedback from my lecturer and I need to improve some parts to make it more perfect. Moreover, I also have to double check for the finance section to make sure that the calculation has the same amount from one sheet to another. To be honest, the financial part is not as difficult as I imagined before. We just need to be careful since excel has formulas and can calculated all the number quickly. Since now, I am kinda enjoying doing finance calculation.
Moreover, during this term I am more focused on designing and also creating campaigns. This is very interesting and helps me to improve my creativity skills. Before making a product photo-shoot, I had to make a moodboard, look for inspiration from existing body care brands, and I really enjoyed this development process. In the end, I am very satisfied with the photos and videos for Remedi Natural Bodycare. Future Fashion Project is a complete package lesson that taught me a lot of things. Starting from analytical skills where I need to dig up more information about the industry, feasibility, competitors and also customer behavior of my brand. Financial skill where I have to calculate the cost price of the product, retail price, start up cost, until how long it takes for my brand to reach the breakeven point.
For FPPDP, it is a very long journey for me. I started this subject since my very first term in Raffles and it is still going until this very last term. Along the journey, I feel very bored where I have to blogging all the time and create portfolio as much as I can. I often run out of ideas to write blogs. But during this point, I realize that this subject is really impactful for me. This lesson taught me to manage my time well and see the world in other perspective where there is a lot of things and opportunities in our surrounding. With blogging, I realize that even the little things around me can be an inspiration for me to develop. All of the portfolios that I have created can be the part of my personal branding and help me to apply work in the future.
I can really feel that there is an improvement about myself that is impacted by the entire lesson that I got through out the 4 terms. And I become more prepared with all the experience and lessons that I had to enter the real industry
