love and hate

Over the Summer we were set the task of creating two mood boards with the themes of' love' and 'hate' that summed up our personalities and were to be presented to the class on the first day: sort of an arty ice breaker.

Anyway, here is what I cam up with.

Love.

 This included David Bowie, beach volleyball, knitting, sequins and Dr Martens.

Hate.

 This included fake pockets, small yappy dogs, sunburn, and technology. Surprisingly the most controversial hatred of my turned out to be Julia Roberts. Who would have thought?

Here are a couple of fashion illustrations I did the other day, probably when I should have been working on my shirt project -I expect I'll get around to uploading that soon.

illustration project

Here are my 6 final illustrations plus front cover and editorial page.

All clothes were selected from the a/w 2012 fashion shows for my theme of colour blocking and shapes that distort or play with the body's silhouette and proportions, I chose to aim them at Dank magazine.

 

Tim Walker: Story Teller

The other day my sisters and I went to see the Tim Walker: Story Teller photography exhibition currently on at Somerset House. It was absolutely stunning to see his photographs on such a large scale rather than in magazines or on the computer screen which in themselves are impressive. 

There were also a load of the original props from the shoots -this guy's budget must be limitless

Tim Walker is my favourite fashion photographer, in fact, my favourite photographer full stop! I wonder if it is the amount of money that is used to create his shoots or whether it is just some spark of brilliance that he has that no amount of money can give you? Because surely other people can splash out on extravagant props and locations, but no one can create such believable and enticingly mystical other worlds quite like Walker does.
