Today's sessions with Anneke and Christian Peterson were on Digital Tales and personas and finding the persona of someone for your project or making a fictional one. Persona to me is the way of describing a person and includes their attributes, look and interests in life, it's a personal profile in a way of this person and you want to find out more. We started with Anneke showing a slide that had 'Yellow, funny' on the centre of the slide, she then asked us what she may be describing. The first thing that came to my mind was a 'Minion' as they are yellow and funny little fictional beings. Then our task set for us was to create a real or fictional persona for our projects and include as much or little information about them as we could, we were asked to look at the layout and design of our persona along with colour themes and font styles.

As I am not very savvy with graphics and digital creation especially to produce something in an hour, I decided to plan my persona to then create a profile in my spare time after the session. I came up with the idea to create the personas of salon owners from my project who have taken part in my interviews. Using the second part of the session this morning, Christian Petersen started by asking us to think about some questions you would include to the digital personas like the style of the person, age, fashion, what's their best way of working and their ambitions and targets. This way of thinking is the best way to create a fake or real persona for this projects and gathers all the information about one person in a page.

During the session this week with Anneke and Christian, they introduced The Future100 to us and asked us to have a look through the three documents provided and find any relevant research that may be able to help in our projects. I started by looking at the contents pages of the documents and found the 'Beauty' section and started to read through some of the pages on skincare, health and safety and skin trends by skinfluencers. I hope to gain a lot of information from these documents to help me in my portfolio and final project.
