** *My Future* ** // Part 1-Introduction  // Hi my name is Brovon Evans and I attend West Jefferson High School. The job that I want as my career is to be a fashion designer. I love to dress and combine colors together. I’m a very hard working girl who loves to shop. I know I can do whatever I want if I try. This job that I want is a very hard job, but it’s worth it. It includes combinations, colors, sources and more. // Part 2 the Story Of My Search // I hope to find out a lot about fashion designers and what they do. I want to know the main basics and what they require. What kind of person is made for this job? The information was hard to find on the internet. I predict in my future that I will be a good fashion designer. I think it was really hard to find the tasks for fashion. I think that I will be a successful worker and be a well- known fashion designer. I also predict that I would work in a big office with a lot of clothing sources.

// Part 3 Results // Working as a fashion designer requires a lot of hard working years of study. I will have to have a mind of an expert. What kind of designer will I be? Where will my work take me? Will my work be beautiful and unique? There are a lot of questions I would like to discover. I want to know how to combine and make outfits? I don’t know a lot of tasks that will be needed for this career. I love to dress and be classy and that’s mostly why I want this job. I would like to experience the way to decorate a manican. It will be my goal in the future to be a fashion expert. In the process, I learned how models found there goals to making a person look beautiful with their bodies covered in fashion. A fashion designer is the most interesting job for me. I discovered I wanted to be a fashion designer when I first watched Project Runway. The models looked so pretty and the clothes didn’t even have to match. I learned it takes art to combine colors and clothes together. I looked at a lot of pictures to discover my goals and what I want to be. I looked up modeling programs to which some reason made me want to be in the fashion committee. When contributing to designers they have to study fashion trends, sketch designs of clothing and accessories. They have to select colors and fabrics and oversee the final production of their designs. There are a lot of steps occurring to fashion. The first step in creating a design is researching current fashion and making predictions of future trends. Designers then visit manufactures or trade show to procure samples of fabrics and decide which fabrics were to use with the designs. Fashion designers depend on the size of their design firm and their experience and the fashion designer industry. They also must stay within the costume budget for the particular production item. All these duties and responsibilities are very important. They take their work very seriously. The qualifications of designers tell you how you get started. Bachelors of fine arts and associate degree programs in fashion design are offered at many different colleges, universities, etc. Course work in human anatomy, mathematics, and psychology also is very useful. The main programs attended are at the National Association of schools and they don’t allow you in certain programs, because of your skills and success. Aspiring fashion designers can learn these necessary skills through internships with design or manufacturing firms. Much of experience can help designers gain sales and marketing skills while learning what styles and fabrics look good on different people. Designers must have a strong sense of the esthetic and an eye for color and detail. Good teamwork and communication skills also are necessary, because increasing the business requires constant contact with suppliers, manufactures and buyers around the world. The salary scale amount for maximum prize is $117,120 and the minimum prize is $30,00. The working hours are very regular. The hours are well-lighted and have very comfortable settings. They work long hours, but get paid fairly. Fashion designers employed by manufacturing establishments, wholesalers or design firms. Designers, who freelance generally, work on a contract or by the company. These conditions are hard, but not as hard as they look. All fashion designers occasionally work long hours to meet production deadlines or prepare for important fashion shows. The fashion business requires constant communication with suppliers, manufactures and customers all over the whole world. One disadvantage is the fact that a model has to work at times for many hours and can be very tired traveling from one place to another. Advantages working in the world of fashion offers pleasure, if one really enjoys what they do. Opportunity for Advancement contains experienced designers. Designers may advance to chief designer, design department head, or another supervisory position. A few of the most successful designers can work for high fashion design, houses that offer personalized design services to wealthy clients. I’m going to be self-employed. This job is in an urban place, in the city. The schools I want to attend are The Art Institute of Chicago and New York. The school’s setting is urban. It is in a big city. The Art Institute has a bachelor degree. The terms are about 4 years. The school of The Art Institute is a big school with a lot of creativity.

// Part 4: The Reflection // Fashion has a lot of exciting features. To be a designer you must really be a good thinker. I wondered if I didn’t want to be a designer, what else I would be. I thought this job would be hard, but with all the notes and stuff I learned about, makes it very easy. I didn’t know that fashion is all over the world.

Designing is like art, you have to combine colors and sources. In design, I expected to see more workers than usually, because clothing and fashion is very important in life. It was hard to combine clothes and colors before I learned about designing. I was happy to find a job that fits me. In my future I want to be a famous, well-known designer. Then after finding the best things in the fashion industry has made me want to work much harder. Designing is a work of knowledge. I was surprised to find out that they are a lot of male designers too. In my future I still want to experience other work, but in fashion and art. When I discovered fashion I was glad to see that, I can do something that I been trying to do my whole life. I think I will be a good, talent worker. I hopefully have my own clothing line, where everyone would only come to me. Sometimes I wonder if being a designer is really hard, because it doesn’t look as so. I just started my experience in fashion by dressing myself in pretty clothes. As a teenager I have found out that life can bring you anywhere if you try and it led me to be a designer. I really liked art and clothes and that’s what made me think about fashion and what it’s about. My inspiration was from television and my grandma. She was a great designer of art. I knew that one day I would discover my future. I love to mix colors together just like combining outfits. When I get in college I will have to attend a good amount of years training. I would be a hard working self-employed. I will succeed and accomplish my goals. At first I was frustrated that I wouldn’t make it this far or would know what I wanted to be.
