1st year student helper

Having been given a first year student as someone to collaborate and work with i have tried my best to think of ways to work best together with me being back in Birmingham and Farah being based in Brighton.  I made sure to ask what her areas of interest where so she was able to work with something she enjoyed. She is mainly interested in styling and photoshop so i thought this could work well as styling and photography isn’t my strongest area, so having her creating mood boards and ideas for shoots is a nice way for us both to understand the direction of the project and for her to create content she enjoys and maybe understand how something like this is done for final year project. I have also given her the chance do more admin side of things that would be found within a PR based project and the jobs that i was experiencing through interning, such as finding company for printing and model scouting.

So far we seem to be working well together. Will be helpful and interesting to get feedback from someone new and excited to get started. I will be posting about to processes of this to give good and bad points to showcase how it works for upcoming years.


 

UPDATE – a week later

Farah has decided to work with another final year. I think for future years students should be partnered with those who are working the field they are interested in. Its a shame i now don’t have a student to work with however if i need help i will make sure to try find another first year if any of them need to do more to pass their project.
