An update on my projects

Fashion Issues
I think I have decided on a location for my photo shoot for the marketing campaign I am creating for the company New Look, because they normally advertise in magazines such as Heat and More, I want to create an ad that would be worthy of Vogue magazine. The location I have chosen is the centre of Derby at night as I want to have the city lights in the background and perhaps the big screen outside the assembly rooms. I have my model too my gorgeous friend Kate who has modelled for zoo magazine amongst various others and has been on the cover of Loaded magazine. I have requested a photographer from the photography dept at university and will do my model's hair and makeup myself. Because I work at New Look I own a lot of their clothes and so my model will wear some of them for the shoot.

Research for the group presentation is not going as well. I am struggling to find info on the company, my only resource is topshop.com I must think of somewhere else to find info. My group also need to start meeting up more to discuss the direction we are going in.

Directed projects in fashion
Well I have finally cracked Illustrator...I think, and have started on my technical sheets. I have created my patterns for my two garments and nearly finished my stretch garment toile, I am going to start my woven garment toile this week.

Professional studies in fashion
I can honestly say I have been terrified by this module and all the things I have learnt about what to do and what not to do when applying for a job! Tonight is the info xchange and so hopefully I will get some useful contacts and information and can finally start applying for work experience at companies.
