I felt that our groups presentation as a whole went really well. Unfortunately I don't think we made it to ten minutes, however I still feel we managed to get in all of the necessary information we needed to get across. As a whole I was really pleased with our pitch, and I think our business could definitely work in the real world. I also think it has the potential to very successful. Promoting the creative industry is becoming more and more important to me after embarking on this course, and especially now that the government are planning on getting rid of creative subjects within schools.
I had this business idea before I came to university, I wasn't even going to come because I was so sure that that was what I wanted to do. Setting up my own business after working for numerous coffee shops and cafes over the years was really something I wanted to get into. However, studying illustration has given me so many more ideas, and given me a much clearer idea of what i'd like my business to be like in the future.
Working in a group was at times, extremely difficult. Absences and illnesses from sessions meant a lot of catching up to do at the end with certain members, but everyone really pulled their weight throughout the last weeks.
It was great to understand all of the ins and outs of what encompasses setting up a business, certain things I had never thought about before. I really enjoyed this section of PPP as I felt I could relate to it. When I leave University, I can't see myself being a free lance illustrator at this point in time, but life's a pitch has given me the option to think of other possible business outcomes, and other ventures and roads to take when I leave.
