At the beginning of this term because we have finished our illustration lessons we moved onto Buying and Merchandising, i was looking forward to having lessons outside of the studios and learning about a different side of the industry. I've never really thought about the B&M side of the industry but was really impressed by our teacher John Maynard and was really impressed by his experience and knowledge that he had from working and being very successful within buying and merchandising. I didnt think i was going to be interested in the subject but he changed my mind.
