16. The Design Project a very essential part of the course
as we learn the pros and cons of working in the
industry.
The market survey leads us to understanding the
different types of markets, target groups, consumer
behaviour and choices of different sections of the
society.
Perhaps, there are various challenges and difficulties
which we learnt how to overcome with time and
experience.
The knowledge imparted during this course would be
incomplete without this project.
The industry experience allowed me to experience the
difference between a hypothetical project in a controlled
classroom environment and a project underway for the
collection under a brand.
