Literal
(a) I, student name, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
(b) I completed thirty hours of creating my own business and created my own products for bath and skin care that can be sold on the web (therefore it can be accessed by international clients as long as they speak English.)
Interpretive
This project showed me that created your own online business is NOT easy. Before I started completing this assignment, I didn't think that creating an online business would be much of a challenge, but I was proved wrong. Spending hours trying to create a name, logo, and website design proved difficult. It took careful planning a lot of thought. However the hardest part (and the least fun) was creating the product. It took a lot of patience and dedication. It was important to make sure that the recipes I had used for my products were capable of being sold to others (meaning that the product was both visually appealing and effective.)
Applied
How did it help you answer your EQ?
This assignment gave me a couple more answers to my essential question. The first one is marketing. It took a long time to find a name that was catchy and easy to remember. And if I chose a name that was too long it would have been hard to create a logo and design for the website and packaging which would have turned off possible clients. The second possible answer has to do with creating and protecting your product. While making the website I listed the ingredients that were used to create the bath and skin care products... however I had to be careful to not use obvious names so that way people could go home and make the same products on their own.
