Research
my main reason in using Dyson is because The founder of Dyson, James Dyson invented the vacuum cleaners himself and now has many important inventions that we seem to use. I was keen in how he solved the problem with the vacuum's losing their suction and the dust/dirt clogging up the vacuum.
2. how the 10 second hand dryers were better than the warm air hand dryers.
HOW this effected the environment.
The expenses on paper towels or paper tissue's that we use to dry our hands if there is no hand dryer. Why cant these paper towel / paper tissues be recycled.
The fan that doesn't make a buffeting noise, how is it possible to make a fan that doesn't have blades which spin to produce the air.
Burberry is a very, very old company, so I thought that being a old company that must have gone through a lot of changes with in the designs and the style or the type of class that they went for. The one garment that Burberry that stayed with is the Trench coat, the company had started with the trench coats and up till now they are still selling and designing trench coats.
How or what did Christopher Bailey do to change the Burberry's classic style to a HOT modernised fashion label.
These are some of my key points that I will be looking at in my essay, I will also be using different sources to provide me with the right information such as e-journals, offical websites and books.

All together there are 56 parts, including the small hoops that link in to eachother.
5. What colour is it?
There is a mixture of colours, the necklace has black, light pink, silver, white and gold

The texture of the necklace is a mixture of soft pebbles, rough like stone and bumpy around the letter J and the round coin
