magazine layout

For my magazine layout, I had to choose a existing magazine my choice was look magazine not to high profile and its a bit commercial and editorial. I did an editorial shoot, my theme was 18Th contemporary, the outfits where modern day but with a old fashioned look. I choose simple back drops as you can see in the images an old beaten up wall and gold simple pattern wallpaper but i think both backdrops are very effective.This photo shoot was a practice for my final work that i will produce end of this year. I enjoyed doing this photo shoot, it has tort me that its not as easy as it seem to produce an pretty image their is so much work from myself and others to get the perfect shot. I did the hair and make up myself but got a photographer to take the photos. I found directing the shoot was the hardest aspect of the whole event, trying to think of the poses and what will work for that model and for that image.

brighton musem

For my design aesthetes project I have decide to write it about, The difference between Visual Communication Exhibitions and Display Exhibitions with the incorporation of Window Displays. Last week I went to the Brighton and Hove museum to see there display on fashion throw the ages. Last term i went to London to see the Nick Knight exhibition, this exhibition was very interactive compare to the Brighton and hove exhibition.


Many of the clothes where in display cases apart from 3 items of children's wear which u could interact with, this was the only thing that had any communication with the audience if the exhibition.

They where displayed on clothes hangers and they where early 19Th century designs.
