Continuing with ‘Chain Reaction’ Key Rings!

Rome Tour Key Ring Design

In our Enterprise Module, we have been very busy continuing to create new products for my mini-company – ‘Chain Reaction’ Key Rings, which has been trading since November of 2015.

We have recently began to work on a Business Plan, which will function as part of our May Portfolio Assessment. The business plan can be also used as an essential document for our mini-company, detailing all about the Marketing, Accounts, Sales, Promotion, Finance and Production of Products in our company.

In light of the upcoming school trips this March (Rome/Sorrento & Skiing), our mini-company thought it only fitting to be able to provide a personalised luggage tag that will act not only as a luggage tag, but also a souvenir of the trip to either destination.

Designs of the key rings can be seen below:

  

The keyrings will be sold at the students discretion, retailing at €1, and it is hoped that it would be possible to begin asking students travelling with either school trip group, to place an order with us through a varying number of means!

If you wish to order a key ring, you can contact us through the following means:

Irish Architecture Foundation – Architecture Module

My 'Space Study' for Architecture

On Tuesday past, Transition Year students were introduced to a new module that we will study in our ‘Design & Woodwork’ class. This new concept is a new module that we will study called ‘Architecture’, which is brought to us by the Irish Architects Foundation, and is taught by our teacher – Mr Boyle.

Since a young age I have been very interested in designing and drawing. I used to spend a lot of time drawing town plans and house design sketches, and I had also wanted to do Technical Graphics for my Junior Certificate, however the subject did not go ahead due to a lack of numbers in interest in this subject. Therefore, this module is of major interest to me!

Each student is given a ‘Design Journal’, which is a little blue book. In the book is many different sections leading up to a design process. One of the two sections that I have already completed is a ‘Space Study’, in which I chose an area that either appealed or didn’t appeal to me.

The area that I had chosen was my local library, in Buncrana, as it is somewhere that has really interested me from an architechtural point of view. I love that an old church as been incorpotated into a public building, and that a totally modern part has been added to the side of the building.

So far I have really enjoyed my expereinces with this architecture module, and I hope that the rest of the module will be as enjoyable
