Dissertation and final major project

So in our final year at uni we have to create something or anything to be graded on to finally graduate in June. We have to plan and research religiously to generate the backbone to our projects. I automatically knew I wanted to create a magazine of some kind but I was unsure on where to find my inspiration. The one person who inspires me the most is my mother and after her diagnosis of bowel cancer whilst I was in my first year at uni I felt this really touched upon a inspiring and delicate subject that I feel other people could benefit form having an information pack all about cancer and have to all come together as one to fight cancer. After months on continuous research I found there was nothing to date some advice and fashion information for people with cancer in mind. The thing is when it comes to cancer, it sucks basically, and unfortunately some people may have to have their bodies changed in some way to remove a tumour or cancerous cells. My objective is that I would like to bring all women together into the one magazine to update and post regular high street clothing that would be comfortable and suitable for people that have cancer. I am not going to seclude the everyday women of whom may like to read Vogue, Elle or Look magazine but to simply have fashion advice tailored to them within mind.

I am pitching these ideas to my tutor on Monday in a presentation with other people in my year. I will let you know how I get on.


On the other hand I am also starting the literature review for my dissertation that is honestly the most confusing piece of writing I have ever had to type out. Like seriously surely the literature review is the most pointless piece of text, why don’t you just read the essay!
