A Reflective Diary

Everything starts with an introduction, so:
        Hi! I'm Salina Popova and I plan to base this blog on the main project supporting my MA programme at Nottingham Trent University. I've already succeed in a graduation process so at least I could try to repeat that with a shorter annual cycle of studies. First of all, I can't skip mentioning my daily passions which (most of them) are strongly related to my future plans and the creating of this piece of work. I hope by managing to combine them to achieve some interesting and useful outcome.

         Fashion has been taking an essential part of my heart since I was a little child. It continued its development during the rebellion teenage years while Sex Pistols posters were hanging on the walls and Vivienne Westwood was the inspiration. Under the sound of punk rock I formed my own fashion atittude trying to design unique clothing with save pins, boots, needles and scissors. Through the years by growing up I displaced my focus more on styling and and exploring clothing than design it.

          Event activity is immutable part of my daily routine. I believe that people should meet each other and communicate in the street, in concert, coffee shops, galleries libraries and even in the supermarkets despite online with artificial gestures. My underground music taste led to my attendance of many many many events in the past 10 years, and even before it I was still seeing every live opportunity as a remarkable adventure. This activity is just part of my nature. That’s one of the reasons I succeed in organizing tourist events during one of my part time jobs. I showed up as one of the best party tourist guide and our guests loved me. It was quite a great experience!

           My advertising knowledge was the other tool in my hand of progress. After 3 years of my life dedicated to this ”science” I’ve learnt quite a lot for business development and effective credibitily. Wanted or not, I finally also managed to understood some of the points of internet communication and its helpfulness.  That happened especially during the last university year when we were focused mainly on interactive media and creation of integrated campaigns including apps.
