How have your own abilities and professional skills developed while working on this project and how do you intend to further build on these skills in the future? While going through this process, I knew that I wanted to apply a focus on marketing. My first attempt was product design, and my final idea was a campaign.

With one week left, I’ve decided to change my project idea. The superhero/self-love thing was confusing to a lot of people and how can I do a project about self-love when I don’t believe in it myself? I decided to focus my project on depression, with a goal to raise awareness about the symptoms and the types. I started out with an idea of ho … Continue reading New Capstone Idea!!!

I don’t think I will have the time to brand a deodorant stick, water bottle etc. but I still want to have something hand made in the boxes. Also at … Continue reading Progress…

On Thursday afternoon I meet with Inna Alesina to discuss my capstone project. The meeting was rushed but I still got some feedback. Inna gave me feedback on my title (Evolution) and told me to focus on what I want my audience to get out of my brand. Inna said that Evolution reminded her of evolution vs. creation and that’s not what I wanted. She … Continue reading Feedback and Progress
