Survey

On Thursday, to help with my market research I decided to make a survey online, because my target is specifically for brides I decided to go to bridal forums and ask the brides to fill in my questionnaire for me.
I am so glad I did this as I ended up getting 155 responses which is amazing, however I can only view the first 100 responses because I only have a basic account but that is still valuable data.
This data will definitely help me know what brides are looking and whether they think my ideas are good or not.

Panic!

In todays lesson panic has started to sink in on how much time we actually have left for this unit, by the 25th we are having tutorials to have a look at the work we have conjured up so far and see what else we can do for it, and also have Tony look at the dreaded business plan.
The lesson was very very useful I found, as Tony talked us through what needs to go into the business plan and told us to first go by the seven titles that makes the plan up.

More logos

Here are a few more designs I have done.

My logo designs

I thought I would also have a go at logo designs, to see how they would turn out.
I played around on Adobe Illustrator and came up with these.

However I do not feel these are sophisticated enough.

Wallpaper

I've been looking at wallpaper that I feel will  fit in with my shop layout, I looked for wallpaper that has a bridal presence and I feel will create a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Collaborating

I'm am collaborating with another student on my course, Sam who is basing her business on branding. By collaborating we are helping eachother and getting different ideas on what to do for the business. It also gives Sam a chance to show how she will brand a starting up business.

Ideas of logos Sam came up for me.

I have decided on the name Tiffany Jane Bridal House

Rossetti

I found this website, owned by Theresa Blake and I actually found it quite inspirational, I love how the garments are made and how putting different colours together works, ok some of these outfits are not my cup of tea but the effort and work involved is clearly shown.

 

I think this dress looks stunning on bride and gives differentiation to a wedding, it has a feel of elegance to it.
