If you Play It By Ear, you don’t plan ahead but you do whatever seems best at the time depending on the situation.
Work Activities:
Tenth week was the last week before the winter vacations and the fall semester. This week we were given rest after the successful launch of the PIBE Magazine Issue#11. This week we had not any kind of work beside going to some brands and agencies to have meeting about the magazine. I’ll go through the start when I started to work on social media strategies and handling of the magazine. After that I was assigned to create new ideas for the magazine and I was also asked for the research of the content and the articles. Furthermore, I was given to sort out the data and create credit stories for the magazine along with the stockists. Not to forget artist featuring was the most difficult and interesting task for the magazine. Lastly, after the launch we were asked to do work for PR, marketing and promotions.
Reflection:
Semester is finished and all went pretty good with many learning aspects. When I started it was difficult to understand the circle in which the PIBE magazine works and operate. After guidance and and training I was on the track and the company was pretty much happy with me. Many tasks were new to me because I haven’t work for the magazine before while many tasks were easy for me because I am from the Fashion& Textile Designing background I was familiar with many things which helped me a lot. After finishing the work and when the new issue was launch I met many big brands and agencies during the last two weeks all over the London, received positive and over-whelming feedback and discussed about the future objectives. This was the main important thing for me as I and other team members worked very hard for this.
