As the deadline for my last uni piece of coursework of the semester approached, I managed to squeeze in some time to visit the degree show. The whole campus was buzzing with excitement as students and visitors alike crawled through the various buildings, the ones I had grown so accustomed to seeing after all these months, and which now looked almost unrecognisable as they were filled and clad and painted with all sorts of different art & design pieces made by the final year students, the graduates.
Of course, I couldn’t not pay a visit to my own course, the FCP show, and take a sneak peek of what my fellow colleagues had been up to, and what the future would hold for me. I was not disappointed!
The show was called FLIP, and it featured a large variety of creative talent. Not going to deny it, I was quite impressed with quite a few of the works on display! I cannot count the time I spent there flicking through the glossy pages of their dissertations. Similar feelings to when I first had a look at past year’s works during my first week at NTU washed over me, as I sat both in awe and amazement at the amount of detail and research that had gone into some of those works. I don’t know whether to be more excited or panicked to think that I’ll soon be working on my own dissertation!
I ended up taking quite a few pictures of different layouts and graphic solutions which I found particularly interesting and/or inspiring, to store away in one of my countless inspiration folders. Here are just a few:
I also went and took a look at one of our “sister courses”, Fashion Marketing and Branding. They are a smaller course, so all their work could fit in one rather small room. While I know I’ve made the right choice for me in picking the more creative and visually-driven course of the two, I quite liked their subdued but striking setup, which gave way to some rather pleasing light and shadow effects.
You can look at more of FLIP’s graduate showcase over at their Instagram page!
Till next time,
B.

It feels crazy to think about, but my first year at FCP has just ended! I can't believe how fast it went by, and the realisation of it makes me both excited for second year and terrified of how quickly I will find myself dishing out ideas for my final year dissertation – yikes! On one hand I feel pretty impatient to make such a big step, especially when most of my friends who are my age have just finished their third year at uni whereas I'm just starting (because of travelling and gap year abroad and yada yada). On the other one, though, I don't know if I'm ready to leave the safe academic setting and make the big leap of faith into official adult world – not the make-believe adult world-limbo that students live in.
Either way, I thought I would share with you my first year portfolio which includes a selection and summary of what I've been up to this year. I have been uploading most of my work on my Issuu account throughout the year anyway, so if you'd like to see and/or read some of those works more in detail, you're welcome to do it there. In the meantime, here's an overview of what Fashion Communication & Promotion students can do here at Nottingham Trent – a combination of photography, trend research, street style, PowerPoints, InDesign reports, packaging mock-ups, and lots of Big Ideas (or find it at this link):
Hope you enjoy that while I sit here drowning in boxes and suitcases as I pack up all my stuff to leave Nottingham and the UK for the summer. I am flying back to Italy this Sunday to go back to my family (whom I haven't seen since Easter break!) and actually have an internship waiting for me at an amazing fashion company near where I live. More on that soon!
