Hey guys! This blog is the forum for discussion on the three year course of fashion design at CPUT.
For our 'legacy' we have decided to create a method of communication between us and you guys, who are interested in studying this course, where we can give you guys tips and inform you on what lies ahead, in the form of an annual seminar that takes place once the short listed students have been gathered for their first interview processes.

As a part of this group with Natalie, Fabian and Victoria, we have decided to do a seminar as a means of info and help to the future first years of fashion design.
Today (the 28th August 2012) we went to a seminar at Truworths and that was similar to what we planned on doing. Honestly this is much more preferred as to a regualr guide or blog, as not only do you experience the speakers themselves but you also can get a fell of what they went through.
The speakers will be the third years of that specific year, so in 2012 we will be the speakers and the hosts of that seminar.
This is extremely helpful as they get to understand and hear about our experiences. We get to tell them what we enjoyed and what we did wrong and what they should be aware of. Something that we did not get to experience was useful info and tips from current third years and their entire experience of this course.
i enjoyed this process. Public speaking is always much better and first hand knowlege is alwa6ys much better than reading something. The seminars can be made fun nd the third years get to interact with them and do exciting fun activities that will make them want to come and study fashion at CPUT.
Time was definately a big issue in this course. we were over pressured with work. and there were tyms we didnt think we were going to make it in time for our deadlines, but we always manage to do so. Tears were constant , but we managed and yet we are still here almost at the end.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed working with my fellow group members and listening to their suggestions about how this seminar could possibly leave a legacy. This project gave me the opportunity to think back when i was in first year and realize how unfamiliar it all really was. This seminar will be extremely beneficial especially to first year students as it will give them insite on what to expect. Starting your first year at varsity is very challenging since deadlines are now suddenly heaped apon you from all directions and also you are faced with many distractions, however, the seminar that third year fashion students will present annually will advise one on how to cope with these issues and show you how to make the best of your time spent at CPUT.

ReplyDeleteI found this assignment to be a very enjoyable assignment and it was great to work with the girl in group that I was in. It does feel a bit bitter sweet, because I wish that all the information that we have gathered and all the tips that we have come across, it would have been great to have had access to it in our first year already. Well, atleast this way, we can leave this information for the current 1st and 2nd year students and the future student who will be studying Fashion Design at CPUT.
