Summer brief (Fashion) - Black Moniker analysis.

As looking from a designer's prospective, I think it is important to have a professional style to your business / company. I think this plays a big role in a companies success as this will separate or enhance the company from competitors. Hopefully this will also create a hierarchy amongst other fashion companies.

Summer brief (Fashion) - Black Moniker Sketches

As the owner of Black Moniker was changing the factory that makes his clothes. They would only accept his company if he had a portfolio of sketches they could keep to design off.

As I am familiar with Adobe Illustrator, this was my first job under Black Moniker.

Summer brief (Fashion) - Pitch

Over summer, I contacted the clothing brand Black Moniker to see If they had and need for a graphic design.

As my research theme is 'How can a graphic designer work in the fashion industry.'

Luckily they replied stating they are looking for a designer, so I wrote up a pitch to show them what I feel I could bring to the company.
