Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task 1 - due Week 5
Origin of a Trend
For this assessment, you will create a blog, where you will systematically record a weekly task and present your findings at the end.

You will track down the history of this trend and finally present your work to your peers in a 5-minute talk.

Assessment Task 2 - due Week 11
Trend Forecasting to Concept
As stylists, you need to be able to understand how WGSN works, analyze their forecasted trends, relate them to what is happening around you and interpret these trends into your own personalized theme. The purpose of this assessment is to guide you in preparation for your final concept boards and editorial shoot at the end of the semester.  

Assessment Task 3 -due Week 15
Concept Realisation
As stylists, you will often have to communicate your ideas and present your concepts visually. In this last part of the course, you will learn to present your final outcomes in a professional and appealing way, using industry standard software.
