FMP ~ Final Major Project

This is a picture I took in Waterstones on the Brighton Trip.

For my FMP Project I decided upon the recreations of Author Cathy Glass's books, I will also be creating bookmarks, bags, t-shirts, signing cards for the book signing equipment, gift cards and/or signed cards that can be given to another.

Book signing equipment will also be needed to show what would be used when she has a book signing, I thought that the other things like the t-shirts and bags would be a nice touch because it gives her fans/readers the opportunity to own something other than her books. The idea is to have these being available with the purchasing of her books but there will be a limited amount for each design for this then gives the customers more choice. These will also be sent around worldwide therefore the delivery cost and the storage place would have to be taken into consideration. As these will only be t-shirts and material bags rather than food or perfume bottles the amount going into the box will be increased for they will be flat and not in a box.

The bookmarks will give more of a Cathy Glass feel to the book when being read and will be something more for the readers to have. These will be of little price and this money will then be given to a charity of which Cathy herself gives money to. There will be a small list of the charities so they have a choice in which they can give to, I think this is a fair decision as it gives the readers/customers more of an insight into which charities they can help and gives them an option.

I have already started this project and am enjoying it a lot because it gives me more of an opportunity to research into my favourite author as well as learn more about fostering which is something that really interests me in the way it works and how much it helps. I am hoping to get some appointments at fostering agencies to ask the staff questions and even the children if they are up for it. I would like to do something that involves the children to show that every child matters and that each of them can find a loving family and the warmth of a family like the children in Cathy's books if they give the carer a chance.

I have a short list of Artists I would like to focus on in this subject to some extent, these are:

• RANKIN

• Martin Ansin

• Kareena Zerefos

• Silvia Pelissero

• Nicoletta Ceccoli 

These will be the focus of my next post and will show examples of there work. The post will also describe why I want to do it in that sort of style.
