Topic: My third blog post is focus on finding an area in the field that finds the most money. They're are retail and sales, publicity, marketing, design, art department, social media, and many more. The area I want to focus most on is editorial and design but I was amazed how many careers made so much.

Evidence: They're are many areas in fashion that consists of design, editorial, publicity and etc. For an example, In editorial fashion they're are writer, editor, stylists, style bloggers, and etc. Fashion Writer is someone who writes journalism or copy relating to aspects of fashion and style, a junior fashion writer employed by a mainstream publication can expect a salary from $20-30,000 and a successful fashion writer earns an estimate of $80,000.
  In fashion design they're are designers, design directors, creative directors, and technical directors. Fashion designers create original clothing, accessories, and footwear. They sketch designs, select fabrics and patterns, and give instructions on how to make the products they designed. The median pay of a Fashion Designer is $62,860 per year.
  In fashion marketing they're are associate marketing Manager, Marketing Manager, Marketing director, and Chief Marketing officer. Purchasing managers, buyers, and purchasing agents buy products for organizations to use or resell. They evaluate suppliers, negotiate contracts, and review product quality. The median pay of Marketing Manager is $60,550 a year.
 In fashion creative are they're are jobs like Graphic designer, Photo Editor, and design director. Graphic designers create visual concepts, by hand or using computer software, to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, or captivate consumers. They develop the overall layout and production design for advertisements, brochures, magazines, and corporate reports. Fashion Graphic designer make a median pay of $44,150 a year. Fashion Photo editor manipulate images that entertain or inform an audience and they make a median pay of $46,260 a year. 

Analysis: I never realize how many jobs are offered in the Fashion Field. It's an exceedingly diverse field with so much experience and work put in too it. So much careers and jobs that makes up Fashion Art of Design; it really did exceeded my expectations and has opened my eyes too more job opportunities that i must look into.

Meaning: So much time and effort are put into this field just like many other fields like medical, business, education, and etc. No field is easy which is understandable. With so much diversity in the Fashion Field it leads me into more curiosity but because of that it also leads me to be prepared. Next week, I will look into each areas (that i prefer) individually.

career college looking


Topic: This blog post is focused on career college looking. I want to go to the best colleges that can best help me for my future. The most popular college of study for Fashion Institute of Design is Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). I was surprise to see how many colleges offered this focus. 

Evidence: They're are four campuses in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco, and San Diego. The campuses are reviewed by previous students and alumni. I believe that a degree helps validate a designer but it doesn't make a designer. "This is an competitive field, talent trumps any degree," said by Veronica former Los Angeles Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising Alumni. This is an extremely competitive field, they're are students in this field that must handle tough constructive criticism and have an professional attitude to survive. Students in this study are motivated and won't stop for anything until they hit success.

Analysis: I didn't know there was more colleges around this school that offered this. I have read review of each campuses but some reviews were bad. Some said that it offered a splendid opportunities and opened your horizons on the field but it was alot of money to invest in.

Meaning: I wasn't expecting the pros and cons of this field of finding a perfect college for this field, but i understand you can't expect the best and not have other problems with the situation. I worry that I will invest so much money into a college but the college won't offer proper education. Next week, I want to find an area in the field that earns the most money but I also want a job that i can like which is most than likely will.
