Robyn Scarlett L4 Creative Enterpise Blog

When coming up with the premise for my creative business at the start of the academic year, I chose to create it in a market that I am interested in. Initially I chose the idea of making an independent animation studio but quickly realised that the work I would produce would mainly be based off of other already established animations studios, such as Pixar who I take inspiration from. After this realisation, I then deliberated on my business idea as I still wanted to be in the film industry and have a business that would allow me to be creative and both practical. As a fan of the horror genre, I have an appreciation for the work that the special effects and make-up artists do on their respective films, and so I then chose instead to base my business in the special effects region of film – I would create customised special effects prosthetics for film studios or other individuals with a not-so flexible budget. By choosing a market that I have a genuine interest in, the forthcoming wor...

  Finances for company from RobynScarlett2

  Who will help you? KEY PARTNERS   The professional business partnerships that I would be looking to establish would be with a company who sells liquid latex called Liquid Latex Direct. They have stated that their liquid latex is imported directly from Malaysia and their supplier is a reliable source. They have also stated that they include no animal products of by-products in their products and so they are vegan-friendly. When purchasing silicone for my business venture, I would have to do a lot of research to ensure that the supplier I'm purchasing my resources from is an ethical source and my values are aligned with theirs. Smooth-On is a company that offers a wide range of different brands that sell skin safe silicone. However, it is difficult to find any information on where they source their products from and what ingredients are included in the products. How do you do it? KEY ACTIVITIES   I will need...

The mission statement of my business is; "Rebuilding the relationship between customer and businessperson, and supplying institutions and individuals with custom commissioned products that are affordable."

I wanted my company logo to be simple but showcase exactly what my company was about. I knew that I didn't want any bright or neon-like colours as they didn't follow the aesthetic of the business which was more dark and serious. The idea I had for my logo was to appear unusual with weird features. I created my logo using a mouse on Photoshop. I didn't want to use the initials of my business, and wanted to show my creativeness. I first created an alien head like shape with a thick white line so that it would stand out against the black background. Using white against a black background makes the image stand out and be very eye-catching. Once I had a shape that I was happy with, I began to add the details. My logo was going to be a face, so I then thought of what different types of ears there were. Something that I want to specialise in within my business is horns, and so I thought it would be good to instead replace one ear with a horn to make my logo more asymmetric and odd...
