A year older

SO YER IM 23 NOW AND YET AGAIN I DONT LOOK ANY OLDER. SADLY HAD TO GO INTO CLASS IN THE MORNING BUT THEN WENT OUT FOR AN AWSOME LUCH WITH MY MUM, SISTER AND BOYFRIEND FOLLOWED BUT FAJITAS AND APPLE CRUMB WITH MY HOUSEMATES...DEEEEE-LIGHTFUL. CARA STARTED A STYLE BLOG WHICH WE ARE ALL ON- BASICALLY JUST TAKING PICTURES OF HOW WE ALL DRESS AS A FLAT. http://powerof-5.tumblr.com/ ONLY DONE ONE EACH SO FAR BUT MUCH MORE WILL COME ON THERE. HERE IS MY LATEST ONE BELOW WITH AN ADDED PICTURE OF SOME OF MY JEWELLERY I TOOK WHEN I WAS TESTING OUT A CAMERA...I JUST LOVE MY SCARF!!

Whooops

THE WORK LOAD HAS BEEN HEAVY SINCE GETTING BACK FROM BERLIN WHICH BY THE WAY WAS AMAZING!! I HAVE JUST BEEN TRYING TO CATCH UP ON MY FINAL CAMPAIGN WHICH GOT ME A BIT STRESSED A FEW DAYS AGO AS I WAS REALLY STUCK ABOUT HOW TO WORK OUT THE COSTINGS AND STUFF. I SPENT ALL TODAY TRYING TO  FIND CONTACTS TO GET HELP WITH THE RESEARCH. I TWEETED THE FOUNDER OF BESTIVAL AND HE GAVE ME AN ADDRESS TO EMAIL I ALSO TWEETED A FEW PEOPLE AT CONVERSE AND THERE WAS A ONE OFF FESTIVAL IN THE WIRRAL (MY HOME TOWN) CALLED SUNSET FESTIVAL...THE CAPACITY WAS ONLY 5000 BUT IT WILL BE USEFUL TO ASK ABOUT COSTING FOR ACTS, THEY HAD THE LIKES OF TINCHY STRIDER, TINIE TEMPAH AND EXAMPLE SO FINGERS CROSSED I GET A RESPONSE.

WE HAD AN EXHIBITION MEETING TODAY. OVER THE WEEKEND I FELT AS THOUGH OUR GROUP HAD GOT A BIT BEHIND SO ME AND JESS SORTED OUT CONTACTING THE REST OF THE COMPANIES ABOUT THE TEXT. I GOT THE DJ TO BE CHASED UP WHICH HE CONFIRMED, I ALSO GOT IN TOUCH WITH REVOLUTION TO CONFIRM A DRINKS RECEPTION AND SORT WHAT DRINKS THEY COULD OFFER US WHICH WILL BE SPARKLING WINE. I ALSO CONTACTED KRISPY KREME TO TRY AND GET A DEAL WITH FREE DOUGHNUTS BUT WE ARE STILL WAITING BUT OVER ALL A SUCCESSFUL WEEK!!

More Amazingly Cool photographs Iv Found

HERE ARE SOME MORE REALLY QUIRKY PHOTOGRAPHS IV RANDOMLY FOUND WHILST DOING MY RESEARCH. I LOVE THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT ARE MADE UP OF 3 IMAGES SLIGHTLY OFF CENTRE WITH EACH OTHER OR NOT QUITE MATCHING UP. I AM GOING TO TRY THIS WITH MY SHOOT FOR MY CAMPAIGN. I HAVE A BIT OF AN OBSESSION WITH DOUBLE SHOTS. I CAN DO THESE ON MY FISH EYE BUT USUALLY WHEN I DO I TAKE ONE THEN TURN THE CAMERA UPSIDE DOWN AND TAKE IT AGAIN TO GET A FLIPPED PICTURE BUT NOW I AM GOING TO TRY AND TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THE ONES IV FOUND BY SING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IMAGE BEHIND A PHOTOGRAPH. MY FAVOURITE IS THE WRITING ON THE PAPER BEHIND THE IMAGE OF THE GIRLS. I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN I TAKE MY CAMERA TO BERLIN TOMORROW!!

Song Obsession

LITERALLY HAVE THIS SONG ON REPEAT AT THE MOMENT. SUPERB TUNE AND GREAT DROPS. IV HAD A LISTEN TO A BIT OF THEIR OTHER STUFF WICH IM NOT TOO SURE ABOUT YET BUT THIS SONG IS A WINNER!! 

Exhibition and Work Updates

SO WE HAVE BEEN IN CLASS TODAY AND WORKING IN OUR GROUPS TO ORGANISE THE EXHIBITION. WE SORTED OUT A TIMETABLE AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE BY THE WEEK AFTER NEXT, THESE INCLUDING: CHOOSING THE FINAL IMAGES, CONTACTING COMPANIES FOR FOO, DRINK AND MUSIC, THE TEXT THAT WILL GO UP ABOUT THE BUSINESSES, WHO WE WILL INVITE AND THE INVITES AND FLYERS. ALL THREE GROUPS WILL NEED TO WORK WELL TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RIGHT THINGS ARE DONE FIRST OR ELSE IT WILL HOLD ANOTHER GROUP BACK. WE HAVE THE DB3 SPACE IN THE MALL WHICH HAS TWO FLOORS BUT WE ARE UNSURE YET IF WE ARE SEING ONE OR BOTH. RESEARCH WEEK NEXT WEEK SO HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE MRE THINGS SET IN STONE AFTER THEN!!


I GOT MY 1ST TERM MARKS BACK WHICH I AM SO SO HAPPY ABOUT!!
I GOT WHAT I WANTED FOR MY PORTFOLIO AND KNOW NOW EXACTLY WHAT IS IS THAT I AM WEAKER AT WHICH WILL MEAN I WILL REALLY HAVE TO PUSH MYSELF THIS TERM TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. I ALSO DID WELL IN MY ESSAY SO THAT WAS A RELIEF! I ALSO GOT THE MARKS BACK FOR MY 1ST MARKETING REPORT...THIS WAS A GREAT INDICATION OF HOW TO NOW RIGHT A REPORT AND WHERE I DID WELL AND WHAT I LACKED. THE MAIN THING I WAS MISSING WAS BACKING UP EVERYTHING I SAID BUT WITH 2000 I HAD TO CUT ALOT OF INFORMATION OUT. MY RESEARCH WAS STRONG SO WITH THIS CAMPAIGN MARKETING REPORT BEING UPTO 7000 IM SURE I WILL BE ABLE TO SORT IT OUT AND MAKE IT STRONGER.


OVERALL A SUPER HAPPY DAY AND ALL IT HAS DONE IS MADE ME WANT TO DO ALOT OF WORK NOW AND REALLY PUSH MYSELF HAHA!!

I LIKE HOW SHE HAS CONTRASTED A DELICATE MODEL IMAGE NEXT TO A MYSTERIOUS WOODLAND SHOT AND HER DOUBLE SHOTS BLENDED TOGETHER, REALLY POWERFUL!! THEY ALL HAVE A SIMILAR FEEL TO THEM WITH THE COLOURS, STYLE AND NATURAL LIGHT. AMY IS DEFINITELY ONE TO WATCH

Ideas Ideas Ideas

WE HAD A GROUP TUTORIAL THIS MORNING EXPLAINING TO OUR GROUP OUR IDEA OR WHERE WE WANTED TO GO WITH OUR FINAL CAMPAIGN AND IN THE AFTERNOON I HAD A TALK ABOUT MY PORTFOLIO.


LUCKILY THE IDEA I THOUGHT OF STRAIGHT AWAY WHEN I HEARD THE WORDS FINAL CAMPAIGN AND YOUR INTERESTS IS THE IDEA IM GOING WITH. THE FIRST WORD I WROTE ON MY BRIEF DURING THE BRIEFING WAS FESTIVAL!! ALONG WITH THAT WORD WAS TRAVEL//MUSIC//CULTURE//FESTIVALS THESE WERE THE THINGS I REALLY WANTED MY CAMPAIGN TO RELATE TO. I STARTED WITH THE IDEA THAT BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE WERE GOING ABROAD FOR FESTIVALS BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAPER, WARMER, BETTER ATMOSPHERE AND MOST OF ALL YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE COUNTRY WITH THE LUXURIES OF CITY PASSES. I WENT TO BUDAPEST IN THE SUMMER AND WE WENT TO THE FESTIVAL THERE WHICH WAS AMAZING BUT YOU GET A CITY PASS SO THAT YOU CAN GET TRANSPORT TO SEE THE CITY AND GO TO THE ATTRACTIONS. PERSONALLY I THINK YOU GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS AND THERE ARE MANY LIKE MINDED PEOPLE TO ME THAT WANT TO TRAVEL AND GO TO A FESTIVAL OVER SUMMER, COMBINED REALLY IS THE ANSWER!! ANOTHER THING I FOUND WAS THAT IN AMERICA THE 'WARPED TOUR' IS THE ONLY FESTIVAL WHICH TOURS AROUND A SET OF LOCATIONS WITH PEOPLE FOLLOWING FOR SOME OR PART OF THE TOUR OR JUST ATTENDING ONE OF THE LOCATIONS. HAVING A FESTIVAL THAT TOURED COULD BE LINKED IN TO PEOPLE INTERAILING WHETHER THEY WANT TO FOLLOW THE WHOLE TOUR OR JUST A FEW KEY SPOTS. I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS IDEA AND HAVE HAD GOOD VIBES FROM MY TUTORS ABOUT THE WHOLE CONCEPT SO FINGERS CROSSED!!


HAD THE PORTFOLIO TUTORIAL THIS AFTERNOON  GOING THROUGH WHAT I WANTED TO CHANGE IN IT. WAS A USEFUL TUTORIAL AND NOW I FEEL AS THOUGH I CAN START THE CHANGES SO THAT IT DOESNT ALL HIT ME AT THE END OF TERM. BACK TO MORE RESEARCH WOOO!!

Photographs That Inspire Me

WITH ALL MY RESEARCH THIS WEEK I HAVE BEEN COMING ACROSS A LOT OF COOL STUFF THAT HAS GIVEN ME IDEAS FOR SHOOTS, LAYOUTS, BOOKLETS AND PRODUCT SHOTS (THATS IF I EVEN DO A PRODUCT) 

IT HELPS THAT I AM LOOKING INTO SOMETHING THAT I LOVE SO EVERYTHING I FIND I REALLY LIKE. THESE 3 IMAGES HAVE REALLY STOOD OUT TO ME THIS WEEK. ONE BEING VERY FESTIVAL LIKE AND WOULD BE GREAT IF THIS WAS THE ROUTE I WENT DOWN. THE SECOND ONE WAS FROM AN OLD TUMBLR I HAD BEEN FOLLOWING BUT JUST LOVE THE PILED UP JEWELLERY, HEADWEAR AND OUT OF FOCUS BACKGROUND. THE FINAL ONE WAS UPLOADED TO LOMOGRAPHY AND I JUST THINK STANDS OUT WITH THE BRIGHT COLOURS AGAINST THE DARK PHOTO...WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE 'BOHEMIAN RAVE' TREND.

Girl Crush- Victoria Beckham

I NEED THIS COPY OF ID IN MY LIFE...VICTORIA BECKHAM LOOKS THE BEST SHE EVER HAS. OBVIOUSLY WITH THE BEAUTIFUL DAVID TAKING A LOT OF THE LIME LIGHT WITH HIS RECENT COLLABORATION WITH H&M, VIDEO BELOW JUST SO I CAN WATCH IT AGAIN.


AT 37 AND AFTER HAVING 4 KIDS SHE PROBABLY HAS ONE OF THE BEST BODIES IN THE WORLD. THIS IS WITHOUT MENTIONING THE PERFECTLY SCULPTURED CHEEK BONES, HER FACE IS TO DIE FOR. BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM THEY ARE RANKING PRETTY HIGH (IN MY BOOKS) OF THE WORLDS MOST BEAUTIFUL COUPLE!! BOTH WHO LOOK EVEN BETTER IN BLACK AND WHITE HA.

Exhibition Planning

SO AS A COURSE WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER AN EXHIBITION IN MARCH THAT WILL BE HELD IN A SPACE THAT IS YET TO BE CONFIRMED IN THE MALL IN PRESTON. THEY HAVE DONE THIS IN PREVIOUS YEARS TO EXHIBIT THE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOT TO PROMOTE 'PRESTON INDEPENDENT RETAILERS' WHICH WAS THE FIRST BRIEF OF FOURTH YEAR.


THIS IS REALLY EXCITED AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE A BIG PART OF IT AS EVENTS IS SOMETHING ID BE QUITE INTERESTED IN BEING INVOLVED IN. WE SPLIT OUR SELVES AS A CLASS INTO 3 GROUPS, THE ORGANISING AND LIAISING GROUP TO SORT THE PRINTING AND GET SPONSORS, MUSIC, FOOD AND PRESS TO THE PRIVATE VIEW IN WHICH ALL THE PRESTON RETAILERS INVOLVED WILL BE INVITED TO. THIS IS REALLY EXCITING AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING IT UNDERWAY. I HAVE ALREADY SPOKED TO A GUY WHO HAS CONTACTS WITH IN COCKTAIL FACTORY, GLOVERS AND CUKOO, ALL POPULAR BARS IN PRESTON SO FINGERS CROSSED WE WILL HEAR SOMETHING BACK FROM THAT.


WE HAVE 6 WEEKS TO ORGANISE THIS SO MORE WILL BE KNOWN IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS!!

Song Obsession

I FOUND THIS COVER OF THE SONG SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW ON THE COOL HUNTER AND HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH IT EVER SINCE. INFACT I THINK I LOVE IT MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL. THEY DO LOTS OF COVER OF THE LIKE OF RIHANNA AND ADELE BUT THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE FOUND WITH THE 5 OF THEM PLAYING THE ONE GUITAR WHICH IS AMAZING.
