Week 1

My first class. Wow what a lot of information to take in. Through this blog I am going to post about my learning experiences, development and self reflection on my Professional Practice Portfolio and hopefully by the end of the course I shall have learned something and created a products, service, pilot or prototype for a future business proposal.

Task 1 - As a group we had 10 minuets to discuss and answer the following questions.

1. What is a pilot/prototype?

It is the initial idea/plan of a service, product, show etc. Relating this back to my field which is makeup artistry is would be design plans, photos of practices or a mood board.

2. What is development?

This would be practising and then changing and adding to the initial idea. Trying different products, techniques and experimenting.

3. What is a business model canvas?

It is a template that you can use to breakdown your services and business. For example lashes, nails and makeup.

4. What is reflective analysis?

A style of writing that allows you to process what you have experienced. Discuss certain events and critically thing about what happened, what you've learned and why.

5. What is design thinking?

this is when you test what your pilot is and then find out what the flaw are. Then you would then fix the flaw and then try again. What works and what doesn't?

Test, find, fix, repeat.

6. What is a reflective journal?

A day to day record about what you are learning, achieving, how everything is going. what your creating and why. For example keeping a physical journal that you write in or a blog.
