As the year is coming to an end so is the longest module of the entire course coming to a conclusion. Design Thinking for Start-ups has been an interesting experience. When I think about the past it feels like we have done so much for this course as it was a highly diverse experience. It […]
The Business
The only thing left to do for this project was to devise on a business plan and to also strategise how to promote the business through social media. I had already got some quotes for production from a specialist company which dealt with such cards but I did not think that was enough to base […]
The Eden Walk Trade Fair
This was an exciting day for me. I had never been to a trade fair where I was not just a visitor and I was on my way to one to create my stand with the prototype of the product I had created all by my self. So a lot of firsts for a day. […]
The prototype
Once it became clear that the professional card makers would not be of any use to me, I had to come up with a new solution very urgently. It seemed that they were not very interested in students wanting to get prototypes made and even if they had come through in time, their prices were […]
Pushing forward
Because a lot of my time and opportunities were wasted due to the group issues, I had no means of testing the idea anywhere outside of my own friends group. This meant that there was some bias towards the idea and it was worth taking it outside my own circle. Luckily the Kingston Eden Walk […]

Reflective personal development journal
My experience with the creative industries so far has been solely through gaming and film. Between those two carriers I must say that film was the one where I had to take on roles which would be considered creative. Therefore, everything I do in this course is always being compared to the only creative industry […]
The solution
Following the completion of each task I had set to myself over 2 months ago, I have finally reached to a solution which I has designed myself. This is my first ever marketing campaign which I took on from brief to designing a solution and I must say I have enjoyed the process. Combining everything […]
The progress
So far based on my research and some of the feedback I have received from the class is greatly helping me to shape an idea for a solution to the problem. I have learned what OOH marketing is and understood what it entails. I have created personas in order to outline my target audience. I […]
The plan
Once the brief had made enough sense to me, I had to come up with a game plan for keeping a record of my progress and also find a way to complete the project. We were all advised to use Dropbox Paper to keep a log of our development and so that is how I […]
