During this session, I was tasked with creating a press release for my jewellery product. I felt prepared for this task because of the previous task we did, which was creating the promotional statement for my sneaker design. These two tasks were extremely similar. I made sure to use words such as bold, rebellious, fun, grungy, playful, edgy, etc. in order to describe my product. I wanted to clearly target a specific audience which is why I chose these words specifically. While doing this task, I struggled to reach the word count. I had a mental block and I wasn’t sure what to say and what to add.
To overcome this, I looked back at my product and thought how would I sell this to customer, and how do I make it appealing? Answering these questions really helped me write more. I want to practice my writing more. I would like to improve my writing skills and learn new vocabulary. I ended up with only 240 words and not 300. This task was challenging to me as I am not the best at writing. In the end, I was happy that I did my best and I was proud of the end result.
