My apprentice group was made up of:
Emma, Jose, Carly, Ollie and myself
Given the budget of 5 pounds we thought of how to efficiently take hold of all of the resources we can.
Going through our options we considered prints/zines, bookmarks, gift tags, wrapping paper and note pads.
We had some small set backs in our plan as the screen printing room was not available to us.
Ultimatly the group went forward with Note pads, and we went around several shops.
We
had gotten the majority of our materials from wilko, being the place
that we took large amounts of free samples of wallpaper, wilko brand
notepads and we were able to find some double sided tape in wh smiths.
During our time gathering materials we visited several shops and the Wilson gallery to see what kind of patterns are in the market right now and how we can compete with them.
This was our process, we would un-spiralize notebooks that needed to and cover the front with wallpaper, re-hole the front with a punch and respiralize the notebooks. we where able to use a variety of of sizes to create different sets.
finnished product.
Although this worked for the project in the long term it isn't a good business plan since it relies on free samples.
