Robert F Hall, Fine Arts
Caledon, Ontario, Canada
September 2007 – June 2011
Four years at Robert F. Hall taught me the
fundamental skills needed in both post
secondary school and a working environment.
Whether I was participating in sport teams,
social justice activities or theatre, I was
constantly surrounded by people. I was able to
apply my strengths, knowledge, determination
and discipline in the arts, and later received a
theater award as a result.
My experience at Humber College was truly remarkable.
The Fashion Arts Program was extremely
interdisciplinary and I was able to gain knowledge and
hands on experience in areas such as Marketing, Retail
Buying, Creative Software, Merchandising, Product
Development, Entrepreneurship, etc.. The program
covered both business and creativity which helped me
become versatile. I enjoyed learning about all of the
areas in the Fashion Industry as well as other career
outlets that you can explore with an Advanced Fashion
Business Diploma. As a result of passion and
dedication, myself and fellow classmates received the
2015 Special Leasing Retail Innovation Certificate.

Academic Work & Designs Course: Photo Styling & Display Techniques, 2015
Objective: To create an editorial magazine layout showcasing merchandise, theme, and styling techniques that your group created from your Editorial Photo shoot.
At Humber College, I was given the opportunity to work with professional models and photographers at Silverline Studios located in Toronto.
Myself and fellow classmates created a theme based on athletic empowerment through the use of MMA. After choosing a theme, we gathered merchandise, brainstormed styling techniques and then chose a model that we thought best suited our theme.
Post production work required Creative Suite Software such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign were used to create this piece.

Academic Work & Designs
Course: Advanced Creative Suites, 2014
Objective: To create a layout showcasing
merchandise that has been inspired by a theme/mood
with the use of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
My inspiration derived from a non traditional wedding
approach. I chose a pastel colour story, and later
found merchandise that best suited an ideal pastel
bridal party.
Creative Suite Software such as Photoshop, Illustrator
and InDesign were used to create this piece.

Academic Work & Designs
Course: Advanced Creative Suites, 2014
Objective: To create a poster layout for Humber’s
Annual Fashion Show. The layout is to best describe
this years theme, A New Dawn.
Designing this piece required a lot of Photoshop and
illustration work. I chose two pictures based on what I
thought suited the theme, and combined them to
create one layout.
Creative Suite Software such as Photoshop, Illustrator
and InDesign were used to create this piece.

Objective: To design denim sketches based on a
theme/mood. Must explain the wash, weight and
fabric details.
My inspiration for these sketches derived from my
astrological sign, Libra. I designed the pieces based
on Libra’s symbol of balance. Majority of the
sketches were designed symmetrically while the rest
were designed
A-symmetrically.

Academic Work & Designs
Course: Colour Theory, 2013
Objective: To design a theme trend board with a
colour story.
My inspiration for this trend board derived from
strong, bold and confident women. I used animals as
an example of the powerful traits and instincts that
women represent. The vibrant colours of each animal
inspired my colour story.
