Display of Goods Assessment

This week saw the culmination of many weeks of group work for the Display of Goods unit. Our task was to create a promotional window display for a florist shop based on a calendar event. My group decided on the start of British Summer Time, when the clocks go forward. The display was divided into a country picnic and seaside scene.

I was really pleased to be given a Distinction for my part in the task.

It was a real team effort with each of us taking the lead on different items in the display. I did the tree, bunting and parallel seaside themed arrangement. The beach hut prop is from my bedroom :-)

The thing I most enjoyed doing was the parallel arrangement. It is my own design and is made using lots of items I found on Southend seafront. I added narcissi bought at the supermarket and some blue eryngium I had leftover from Christmas. I made the paper windmills myself from an online tutorial.

Front view - sea grasses, oyster and mussel shells, driftwood and seagull
feathers give the arrangement a natural beachcomber look.

Back view - thrift, succulents and dried grass seed heads from the garden

The arrangement is on a shelf in my bedroom now and the narcissi smell wonderful :-)
