Jewellery Elective

Wednesday 12th May

I had to research Promotional packages for my 3rd year as they are finishing their final collection. This also came in handy for my crafts package for Interdisciplinary as it gave me an insight into what other designers use for their package.

Some of the interesting ideas were...

• Look books
• Memory sticks (Digital Look book)
• Personalised Balloons
• Swing Tickets
• Badges
• Stickers

Makeup

LOVE THIS!!
As i was flicking through a beauty magazine I came across this image. I scanned it in as i think it is really interesting.
Make-up is such an important part of fashion with fashion shoots and look books.

JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL :-)

NEW DESIGNER I HAVE COME ACROSS

Having researching designers for my module I came across this designer which I really like.

He started off at a hair-dresser specialising in hair extensions and weaves which then gradually tranformed into fashion designing but still using hair.

He styles many people such as the legend that is GAGA!

Day of the Dead Photoshoot

10th May 2010

3rd Year Photoshoot

I helped with Edric's Photoshoot, I really like how he had planned his photoshoot, as his collection was on "Day of the Dead" where you celebrate the death of a loved one, he wanted the photoshoot to look like a party with lots of balloons fun and laughter. HE THEN DRAGGED ME INTO THE PICTURES. OH OHHHHHH!

There was no strict direction or staged posing which worked really well to suit his collection.

The photoshoot should always compliment the collection.

A formal, staged photoshoot wouldnt have worked as well!!!

Edric asked me to sew his fabric onto the tshirts... So I cracked on. I sewed 3 tshirts which he was really happy about.

You can't print on to jersey that well as it cracks!!! And thats why he did it that way round!

Edric worked doing the embroidery on domestic sewing machine. I found this really interesting as ive never seen it been done before. And now I know I can use it some of my designs.

Things I haved learnt:

• Pressure can be a good thing - It sometimes makes you make descisions a lot quicker.
• Building a good relationship with people you work with is very important, as I have helped my 3rd year I know they would help me if I needed it.
• The more you put in the more you will get out...
• Try think in advance things you need, it always helps along the way.
• Asking questions helps you out! The more questions you ask the more information you learn!!!
