#enterprising

Have you ever struggled with finding the right major or career path for yourself?  Try taking a Holland Code test!  Developed by John L. Holland, tests that use Holland Codes look at your personality and interests to suggest a wide array of careers that might be a good fit for you.  After taking the test, you are given a 3-letter code, made up of the letters RIASEC (see above for an explanation of each letter).  Different combinations indicate different fields/careers that might be a good fit!

For example, my code is SAI - Social, Artistic, Investigative.  The combination of these three “traits” means like I like working with people, I like being creative, and I like to be analytical and work with data.  This combination means that careers such as counseling or teaching would be ideal for me!

One nice thing about this type of test is that you often end up with a variety of jobs that require different educational requirements, offer different pay, and allow you to examine your own skills, interests, and values as you consider the results.

I have been working on Photoshop and editing some photos I have posted previously for our enterprise idea.

My idea like I said before, it’s to transform normal images into creative ones. This is the original.

I have been really inspired recently by Infrared film as I want to give it a try once I get a hold on one of the films. So I have been trying to do this digitally and improving every time that I try editing a new pic and get better at this.

So I have photoshoped these into Tote bags to see how they look and this is it.

Next Steps

Work on our Abobe Spark presentation for the upcoming pitch to the panel and compete and submit our business grant application. 

Totes Amazebags.

Our team have decided to design sustainable tote bags for our enterprise idea. We have completed and sent our grant application so hopefully it will be successful.

The idea is to use screen print and transfer on our bags. Our designs are fun and quirky. Some will have silouhette images with “Glasgow banter’ quotes, some with a homage to the “Glasgow Uni Accent” with some rants and bants (can’t give too much away) and some with a slant on photography speak.

It’s been great fun coming up with our ideas for these. Each bag is made with sustainable cotton which makes them super eco friendly. They are reusable and recyclable. Every bag will be branded with the business name “Totes Amazebags”.

These are the types of bags we will be using to screen print and transfer our designs on.
