placement.

In January 2010 I carried out a placement at Office shoes head office in London. It was six weeks and I absolutely loved it. I rotated around the different departments for the first week or so and then settled in nicely in the Visual Merchandising department.

Kerrie in the VM department was really welcoming and trusted me with a variety of tasks. I did a number of things varying from store visits to arranging the spring/summer 2010 merchandising guidelines that all stores were sent.

It was during this time that I really developed the basic skills in Photoshop that gave me the confidence to try new things and experiment more.

These are some of the trend boards I did:

 Androgynous

Woodstock

These were done using Photoshop. On previous moodboards Office had done they weren't always using Office products on them to translate the trends. From working in store I thought it would be a good way to translate the trends to the staff - especially those who don't understand them quite as well.

The Buying Director told Kerrie they were the best boards she had seen.... No biggie!
