Parsons x Teen Vogue Fashion Industry Essentials Certificate Program: Course 1
Recently I was given the opportunity to enroll in the Parsons: School of Design x Teen Vogue Fashion Industry Essentials Program for free, only having to pay a $99 fee at the end of the program for my certificate (at the time the course was around $549, recently it has been bumped up to $749, so I was EXTREMELY excited/grateful for the opportunity to do it basically for free).
I've decided to document my progress in the program as I finish each course section. I've just completed Course One: Unlocking Visual Style. In this course section, we explored fashion as a visual medium. I was assigned different activities that would help me to form a "style story". This particular section of the course helped me to think about how I shoot and display my own designs.
I have to admit, the actual assignments for this section were pretty fun because I basically got to create mood boards and then curate insta pics based on those mood boards (so if you follow me on insta you now know why my posts were a little more *extra* than they usually are)
These were my two mood board to curated photo assignments:
"Seeing Stars"
"My Story" - My own personal style story mood board and styled look:
In this section, we discussed things I don't always think about as a designer, such as stylized photos, online presence, and how I present myself and my designs AS a designer. This also gave me incentive to update and change around my blog a bit so that it fit my own personal style a bit better.
So now that I'm done with this section of the course, I'll be moving on to Course Two: Thinking Like a Designer, so watch out for more updates on my pages! Honestly, I'm definitely going into this second course thinking "okay, but I already know how to think like a designer..." but I'm going to keep an open mind and see what I can learn from actual professionals since I have the opportunity to do so.
