NYC Trend Report

From research undertaken in New York I created a trend report using most of my own images with brief commentary. When making this booklet I considered the design to be that of a fashion magazine and by visually tapping into emerging markets I have showcased common trends using stereotypical types of people found in each area I visited.

The feedback I received after informally presenting to a group was that the magazine inspiration idea was great as it showed I'd looked at resources for inspiration into my layout. The production and creative execution was good and I had observed links from location to product and style. Criticism is that I should maybe have used in store photographs to display visual merchandising of shops in each area of the city, I also need to proof read my work and learn to Harvard reference. 

  

Supreme Brandzine

Prior to our trip to New York we were briefed that the next project was to be a 2 part brand-zine on a chosen brand. After choosing Supreme, I conducted in-depth secondary and primary research into the brands history and lifestyle.

The second part of the zine project was to then expand the brand with either a new product line or collaboration then to re-launch your new idea going into detail about the brands previous marketing strategies.

From the research I conducted Supreme do a wide range of products and are well known for their ground breaking unexpected collaborations but they are yet to produce a range of watches adapted for the skate culture. Instead of going for the obvious and undertaking a collaboration with an already known watch brand I chose Lego as they attract a new young consumer and create nostalgia for current customers.
