Upon completion of placement year I feel motivated and enthusiastic to commence Level 6 and my final project of university. My apprehensions are that I am now out of practise where my research methods are concerned. I also worry that the ways in which I present and discuss work in a sketchbook format will not come so naturally to me as during my year in industry I was not required to backup my outcomes with research or evidence my experimentations.

However I feel confident that the skills I have learnt in my placement (as a Creative Assistant for an underwear brand, Fruity Booty) will improve my final year work as I know my design skills have matured. I am also inspired with a new ethos that commercial projects can entail equal amounts creativity and freedom as in my personal work and I hope that this will present itself in my FMP.
