Since I started my first job after graduating from Nottingham Trent, I have had a lot of responsibilities and faced a lot of challenges. I got a job as a Marketing Assistant at Strip Wax Bar, assisting the Marketing Director. My roles involves a range of admin tasks as well as creative projects, which I am extremely happy about as I get to continue my love for visual art.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My most recent project was to create, design and make a campaign for Strip's laser treatments. I was responsible for the whole project from start to finish and was able to work through the whole process - from concept to execution. The concept 'Shining a light on laser' came from the idea that we needed to let everyone know about these new, exciting treatments Strip had to offer. As no body knew about them and there was no real push of marketing before hand, they knew they had to boost this idea and 'shine a light on it' to make it known to clients. This is where the light concept cam from.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As a visual creative at university, I really got to know my true artistic style. I grew to love collage and abstract art. I am a huge fan of Luca Mainini - a collage and GIF artists who has previously collaborated with TOPSHOP and Arthur Arbesser. Like any other artist I did my hourly trawls through Pinterest, books and instagram for visual inspiration but every other laser ad I came across looked scarily clinical and just reminded me of being at the hospital - they all screamed pain. I decided to go for a completely different outlook on this and go for an abstract design. I knew the concept was about shining a light and the laser treatments are for your body, so why not put the two together? After hours of scribbling in my sketch book and creating graphic mock ups I finally got to the finished outcome. I am extremely lucky to say my first advertisement has been published in magazines such as The Resident, Tatler, Mayfair life, Absolutely magazine and several more. Proud is an understatement!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello all! I have been
living in Melbourne for just over 2 months now and have gotten to know the city
pretty well. As a Brit, Australians culture has felt alot like home, however, I
am still getting used to a few things that Ozzies do - Vegemite for Breakfast?..

as she went off for her travels round Thailand. She was 18 and flying to a
country she had never been to before, all by herself. People asked “Why aren’t you
going with her?”, “Don’t’ you want to
go?” and in all honesty this seemed like my idea of hell. I was envious of her
confidence and her drive to push self boundaries to get out of her comfort zone –
this was a skill I lacked and I hated myself for it.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #F9F9F9; line-height: 15.6pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; mso-outline-level: 2;">

I was tired of
the monotony and the cycle of old patterns.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: inherit;">I was tired of coming across as shy and nervous. I’m none of these
things, I’m an introvert. I have aspirations and dreams too but I struggle to
push myself. I class myself as an introvert with outgoing qualities.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: inherit;">I needed a new beginning. It was as if I had outgrown my
skin and suddenly had this overpowering feeling of confidence in myself. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15.6pt;">I recently moved over to Melbourne on my own. When I informed my friends
and family they were nothing but pleased and excited for me, their positive energy
took all my anxious feelings away which I am grateful for. For them, flying on
my own, finding my own bearings in a new city and meeting/traveling with new people
is something they never saw coming – I’m the person who struggles to order a
takeaway on the phone as I’m worried I won’t be able to understand them and
make a fool out of myself. Moving away and traveling on my own has been one of the most rewarding experiences and here's what </span><span style="line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">I've</span><span style="line-height: 15.6pt;"> learnt so far:<span style="color: #3f3f3f;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 15.6pt;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>

new people can be daunting and naturally we are drawn to a comfort spot; our phones,
which in reality is slightly embarrassing. I've learnt to leave my UK life in the UK and embrace my new own in Australia. It's so easy to be distracted by things that are going on at home. Put your f*cking phone away. Enough
said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 15.6pt;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Comfort
isn’t everything</span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When you travel, you’ll most
likely have some peculiar nights in strange places, where the beds are questionable,
the scents are foreign or you end up spooning with 29 cockroaches when you wish
it was your significant other.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That
will sometimes leave you feeling lost and alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But, in my experience, once you
let yourself go for the first time there’s no better feeling than coming back
to your previous comfort zone with new eyes and a more refined appreciation for
it. You may even find you’ve grown out of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 15.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">You
become more independent</span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've become independent; I've learnt how to use a map, navigate the different cities’ public transportation, and I
have to pay better attention to my surroundings.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is such a satisfying
feeling of accomplishment that comes along with being able to navigate a new
and foreign place, especially when you do it alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 15.6pt;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">You become more observant</span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Normally, on trips, you spend a
lot of time talking with your travel companions; whether it is a friend/family member
or significant other and you put your attention on them. I am always putting people
before me and I love to see people happy, meaning I put their ideas forward
before my own, even if it’s something I would prefer not to do. On your own you
don’t have an interference of others; all of your focus is on your
surroundings, as it should be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wonderful things happen when you
are free from distractions; you see things you might have missed before, you
can take things at your own pace or you meet new people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You
are free to take this new place in with all of your senses. When you travel
alone, it might be the first time you’re seeing the world and actually<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit; outline: none;">seeing</em><span class="apple-converted-space"><i> </i></span>it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 15.6pt;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">People
are generally good.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The world is, at times, a
sh*tty place, and humans appear to suck more often than they don’t.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing you’ll learn when you
step outside of your comfort zone, is that for the most part, society is a
refreshingly classy act and being alone should not be seen as jeopardy. I recently pushed my comfort zone and traveled with people who I had never met before. At first it was daunting and I was nervous but I had the most amazing time and loved every second!</span></div>
<h2 style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 15.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Treat
Yourself</span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Your 20s are a time of
frugality and like me, most of us are students. You probably don’t have a real
job; more than likely, your refrigerator is broken, you have mice in your
crappy little studio room (I do) and your rent is getting to be a little too
much. You might have to live like this in your everyday life, but you should
treat your trip alone like the celebratory event that it is!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Splurge on a fancy (or by fancy
I mean something other than student budget hostel, we’re not millionaires just yet)
hotel. Treat yourself to a luxurious dinner; order an alcoholic drink instead
of water; try to make it like the vacation you deserve.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Luckily, there is no one there
with you to say, “This restaurant looks too expensive,” or “maybe we should
spend this on other things”. What I’ve learnt is too not live in a massive
black hole of money worries. In the past it has caused me a lot of unneeded stress
– if it makes you happy then bloody go for it! Happiness is not eating rice
and soup for 6 months and watching your flatmates go out for an amazing yet
cheap dinner – I have learnt this. You have the rest of your life to worry
about finances, be selfish when you can!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When people who don't know me learn about my boyfriend, they usually respond the same; with shock, confusion and a laundry list of questions. No, I’m not dating an
ex-con and no, he’s not made up.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m simply just in a long distance relationship.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And when I say long I mean really, really long – like London Heathrow
to Singapore Changi and 6,000 miles long. Although now I’ve moved to Australia
things have gotten a little better.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I just turned 19 when it happened. After a year and a
half together, my boyfriend got a university place in Singapore and I still was
at university so had no chance of going with him. Before this our relationship
was still long distance but we were in the same country and I knew this was
going to be a lot different from what we were used to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It
was a great opportunity for him, and naturally I was happy for him yet deep
down I knew things were going to change drastically. <o:p></o:p></span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">No, it’s not perfect, and sometimes it gets really
f*cking difficult, but I don’t regret a day of it and here’s why.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); line-height: 15.6pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">You learn how to enjoy being alone</span><o:p></o:p></span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Although I might be on my own, I’m never actually alone.
Sure, my boyfriend can’t physically comfort me or take me out on dates, but
he’s never more than a quick message
away – that’s if we both have wifi! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While
I value my time alone, I’ve never been more grateful for my boyfriend’s virtual
presence; he’s my safety net and my rock after a hard day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He and I both have more time for me time. In the last few
months of our relationship and my move to Australia, I’ve learnt that I love
to travel alone, I am an introvert with outgoing qualities and learning to
define my own success is one of my biggest accomplishments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has taught me to depend on myself and to enjoy
solitude.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); line-height: 15.6pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">You communicate better</span><o:p></o:p></span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #F9F9F9; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Many people fail to understand why I’m in a long distance
relationship and ‘wasting’ my glory years — my 20s — with a guy who I barely
see. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They
can’t seem to understand a relationship based on verbal communication rather
than purely physical. They doubt the future of our relationship and our ability
to stay faithful to one another.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: rgb(249, 249, 249); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes,
I’ll admit, it’s really hard to date somebody almost exclusively over Skype
(although very interesting with poor </span>WiFi<span style="font-family: inherit;"> connection). However, in a long
distance relationship you learn to appreciate the time you get to speak to each
other. Our schedules never ever match. He’s asleep while I’m getting up and
when I’m busy he’s free and vice versa – it gets extremely frustrating. But
when you are able to spend once a week or so Skyping with them it makes it all
worth it and I’ve learnt to appreciate the little things and a quick, simple conversation
goes a long way. Even being sent a Snapchat or a spontaneous WhatsApp message
gives me butterflies. (It’s a sad life I know)<o:p></o:p></span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">You have time to advance in your chosen career or
experience something new</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They say your
20’s are the time to explore and I </span>couldn't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> agree more. The time apart has
allowed me to try new things whether it will be a new hobby or career path. It gives
a chance to cram your diary full of opportunities and make something of
yourself and start fresh. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We need this
time to make mistakes, <span style="background: #F9F9F9;">We need to learn what
we like in a job and what we don’t. We need to learn what school didn’t teach
us. Most importantly, we need the time to invest in all of this.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><span style="font-family: inherit;">While my boyfriend is away studying and working long hours for a highly
established business, I’m designing away and experimenting with my skills
(while studying hard of course!)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I get the time to do things I never normally had time for. As a design
student I can make time to go to workshops, design lectures, exhibitions/events.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249);">We have learnt that being apart has given us more time to explore and

<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've learnt to look at it from a positive
perspective. I've had the amazing opportunity to visit Singapore (3 times!), we
have both traveled South East Asia and he is coming to Australia. What a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">I’m not going

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249);">What I will say, is that being in a long distance relationship has

situation. Learning how to make the distance work has been invaluable.</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- VAMFF (Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival) ran across the week from the 14th - 22nd March 2015. I will be sharing my favorite shows, runways and collections with you all, starting with Runway 4. -</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fashion Festival finally arrived in Melbourne! Sadly I was unable to attend the festival due to an overwhelming amount of coursework boooo :( but I still kept up to date with what was going on through Instagram,blogs and Twitter. As a Londoner, Fashion Week is yearly event so when I found out about the VAMFF I couldn't of been more thrilled!</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Runway 4 was the second VAMFF show of the Tuesday Evening. <span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Premium Runway 4, presented by SHOP Til You Drop, featured key autumn winter looks from designers Akin by Ginger & Smart, Alice McCall, Keepsake, Shakuhachi and White Suede.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">The models wore a splash of colour to on runway with gorgeous red lips, whilst focusing on the fashion, stand out pieces for me included the </span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">Shakuhachi</span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">sleeveless waist coat and White Suede plunge dress.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Some of my favourite pieces from the designers collections:</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Keepsake" src="http://www.melbournegirl.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Keepsake.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Keepsake</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved all their collection however this white taut midi skirt with matching embellished bralet definitely stood out amongst the others. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="alice mccall" src="http://www.melbournegirl.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/alice-mccall-.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Alice McCall</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Black, elegant and simple. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Akin by Ginger and Smart" src="http://www.melbournegirl.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Akin-by-Ginger-and-Smart.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Akin by Ginger & Smart</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This piece uses multi textures to add structure and depth to the collection. The use of wool and leather portray a grunge look while the juxtaposing textures created a look that can be worn day or night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Shakuhachi" src="http://www.melbournegirl.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Shakuhachi.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; line-height: 24px;">Shakuhachi</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My ultimate favourite piece from all the collections is this short sleeved waistcoat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

So, where have I been? A bit all over really, but to start
things off I have moved from the UK to Melbourne to study for 6 months,
(craaaaaazy stuff) which was a totally spontaneous decision of mine but the
spontaneity paid off. I have been over in Australia for just over a month now
and loving every minute. Apart from the weather – incase you didn’t already
know, Australia’s winter is UK’s summer! Meaning I had 2 weeks of lush sun and
tanning on the beach and now, well, its fecking chilly at night! But hey I
can’t complain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Melbourne is a fab city where everything and everyone is
constantly glowing. I have absolutely fallen in love. So I have put together a
short list of everything I love about Melbourne so far! Since I’ve been here
only a month there is so much more to see, so shall be posting about the top
things to do in Melbourne soon.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve been back from Thailand for about a month now and I can
safely say I am suffering major travel blues. One of my favourite memories from
my trip was the famous Moon Party on Koh Phanagan, which is something from out
of this world, honestly. I thought I’d share a quick guide for those who are
planning on visiting Thailand anytime soon or those of you to reminisce the crazy
experience! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Alcohol Buckets<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cheap, big and strong. These buckets are always a good idea,
until you end up face planted on the roads of Koh Phangan. Buckets in Thailand
are sold on every street you pass, so if you are desperate to try one, don’t worry
you will be sure not to miss out! The buckets cost anything from around 100-
500 Baht which is £2-10. This may seem very cheap for us Brits but very
expensive in Thailand so be sure to bargain or even move 1 metre down the beach
to find another stall! They are also ridiculously strong which you may be
thinking why is that a problem?, but it is when you start to forget how much you’ve
actually drank! – so be wise and make sure you only buy the buckets that have not
been pre mixed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Burning skipping rope<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Great for all you adrenalin junkies
but if you want to leave the island with a ‘Koh Phangan tattoo’ I suggest to skip this detail out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bum bags<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This was probably my most handy accessory I ever bought
with me. I used it every day and it meant i wasn’t on edge about my valuables.
I know for some of you this seems like the ultimate fashion crisis (I never thought
I’d be seen dead in one) but purchasing a thin/slim bum bag means you can put
it under your clothes without looking like you’ve had one too many Thai
curries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Have a meeting point<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Chances are,
you’ll be attending this festival with friends. Trying to keep an eye on
them among 30,000 people can be a bit difficult. It would be far more fun
to hangout and dance with them, rather than spending hours searching the beach
for them. Before you go out, decide on a meeting point so, if you can’t find
one another for say 10 minutes, head to that point and meet up. Then, reunited,
you can continue partying together!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Accommodation<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">While you’re on Haad Rin Beach having a great time at the
party, who’s watching your precious belongings in your bungalow? This party
gives thieves a prime chance to break into your hut and take your
expensive travel electronics, money, or even worse – your passport. Get a
hotel/bungalow that looks well taken care of and has someone around 24/7.
Better yet, go for a room that isn’t right in the middle of the action. With
30,000 people on the beach, the odds of someone walking up to your room
unnoticed are pretty high!</span> It’s a good idea to stay off the beach and
into the centre of the island, but not too far; the taxi drivers take the piss
slightly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Transport<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Going off my previous tip, try to get accommodation
relatively close to Had Rin beach or Ban Tai beach for the Half Moon. The last
thing you want to be doing is getting a boat onto the next island in your
drunken state on an over packed long tail boat. They have capsized in the past
which has killed many students, so don’t risk it!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Neon paint – always a good
idea.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On that light note, be sure to pack the neon paint. You’ll
see some insane pieces of body art so make sure you fit right in!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are some of my photos from the Half Moon Party!

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For those of you to love to jet off away from the norm and
occasionally love just a bit more than that European city break, you’d understand
the pain that is long haul fights. Recently I travelled South East Asia to see
my boyfriend, after 4 months of being apart! The trip was utterly amazing and I
was so lucky to spend a whole month with him in the most amazing countries! But
soon I had to face the horrific reality that was a long haul flight back to
freezing London. FECK.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As I had to endure 24+ on long haul flights that pretty much
makes me an almost an expert on surviving the dreaded things, so heres 7 ways to survive your dreaded long haul
flight!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;">Get comfortable.</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><b><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;"> </span></b></span><span style="color: #333333;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<span style="background: white;">Wear a
super comfortable outfit for the plane. My favorite outfit for long-haul
flights is a pair of stretchy leggings, a cotton tee, and dolly shoes and of
course a fluffy jacket or scarf to use as a cover up or pillow! If you are
thinking outfit disaster like I am, you can always freshen up and make yourself
look more presentable when getting off the plane. Unless you want to meet the
man of your dreams flying over Asia but let’s face it, comfort wins. Everytime.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;">Pack an inflatable pillow.</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><b><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;"> </span></b></span><span style="color: #333333;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<span style="background: white;">The
pillows provided by the airplane are really only useful as lumbar support. If
you intend on sleeping on the plane, pack an inflatable neck pillow. If
you are lucky enough to get an adjustable headrest then you are already one step ahead
of the game.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;">Move around.</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; color: #333333;"> </span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<span style="background: white;">Sitting
for long periods of time can increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis and in non-scientific
terms; a really numb bum. Larger planes
usually have space in the back to stretch (literally). On my last flight from Singapore to Dubai, I
stood in the back with the flight attendants twice for 30 minutes. I've learned
that flight attendants usually have great travel stories to tell and free
goodies so hit them up for a chat if you're bored.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;">Bring a sweater or an extra blanket.</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><b><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;"> <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;">It
may be 30 degrees down below but once youre in that</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"> airplane the aircon is
turned on and without a jacket you are stuffed. Some aircrafts supply blankets,
however these are usually very thin that they quite frankly do not keep you
warm at all.<br />
<span style="background: white;">Travel
with a warm sweater or a small travel blanket so that you'll be comfortable
during the flight. Luckily I had my sarong to cocoon myself in with an Emirates
blanket but don’t always count on that!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;">Choose an exit row.</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><b><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;"> </span></b></span><span style="color: #333333;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<span style="background: white;">Exit
rows have a ton of extra space and are often available for an extra fee. The
worst thing is getting trapped in-between two sleeping people and having to
wake them up several times cause you’ve drank too much wine. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;">Use an eye mask and ear plugs.</span></strong><span style="color: #333333;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<span style="background: white;">Depending
on the time of day your flight takes off and the direction you're flying, it
might be bright outside, making it difficult to fall asleep. It's also
challenging to sleep when there's constant conversation, babies crying and
noise from the meal service. Some airlines provide seat stickers so you can let
the flight attendants know you don’t want to be disturbed but this doesn’t l=block
out the noise. Many</span><span style="background: white; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">
international carriers give out a free amenity kit that includes these items.
If your airline doesn't offer an eye mask and ear plugs, it's definitely worth
investing in a set.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background: white; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When flying from London to
Dubai I was a nervous wreck, while trying to keep myself together I got
approached by Emirates staff who asked if I was flying alone and/or this was my
first time travelling alone. All I had to do was say yes and I was automatically
upgraded to business class! Unfortunately it is not that easy every time but the
free champagne, business class seat and luxury lounge is worth the effort!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

For winning our Visual Merchandising brief we were awarded with a guest lecturer: Adrian Ashmore. We got to spend a session getting to know the basics of TexStore, which designers/PR/Showroom creatives use to create a mock up of a store. I found this workshop extremely interesting, apart from the fact it is exactly like playing Sims TexStore is a great program to use for the planning and designing of our 3rd year exhibition!</div>

After making my business cards I decided to add a bit of creativity to it. I previously saw an image on Pinterest.com in which a graphic designer had created a folded CV. I thought I would mix the two together to potentially hand out to cilents.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I started off making a front cover to present myself with the text 'I'm Georgia Sheehan - Fashion Creative' to engage customers. However you only see this when then you unfold the envelope. On the back is my visual CV so potential employers/cilents can read about my work and experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I went with a super minimal black and white business card, which contains my signature motif of the circle. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As for the poster, in an ideal world I would have made this huge (like 18×24 or larger), but I couldn’t figure out how to fold the paper properly at that size AND it would have been extremely expensive. So, I opted for a normal size sheet of paper, professional printed on matte paper.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then I folded every single sheet, so that my business card could rest inside and create a black triangle that slightly resembles the shape of a house. It took a while to create a design that would line up perfectly, but eventually I figured it out. Here is the photos of the steps of the business card holer. Enjoy! x</span></div>

A bit skeptical at first to say the least as I had never done life drawing before! This opportunity correlates with my new brief 'What is beauty? which is a topic I have always had a passion to explore and research. Life drawing allows you to draw /judge another from just their appearance , you are projecting what you physically see in the outside and portraying their perception on paper. This is what I feel is the beauty of life drawing. It allows you to manipulate a human body how you wish - much like editors do in campaigns in the media today. <div><br></div><div>Below is my finished piece from life drawing. I decided to use a different technique to technically challenge myself. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi5q2pL6K35wsR7UA0gOU747S-CcjTpjFTQR6IMXXyC1dyouD15ZdVBSP0nhb4FN8vYsA2-o7rIQUJDVm9megq-M71DxLIXfXpPZ20jjDQtENXUAnGU2pveXa9oDKKSHdzuLqaFAN_b6E/s640/blogger-image-93103494.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi5q2pL6K35wsR7UA0gOU747S-CcjTpjFTQR6IMXXyC1dyouD15ZdVBSP0nhb4FN8vYsA2-o7rIQUJDVm9megq-M71DxLIXfXpPZ20jjDQtENXUAnGU2pveXa9oDKKSHdzuLqaFAN_b6E/s640/blogger-image-93103494.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822949082804265753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069299946293882198.post-21492832520871085332014-10-27T04:26:00.001-07:002014-10-27T04:26:46.501-07:00What am I like?I've been away for awhile catching up with uni friends and work so excuse the lack of posts! <div><br></div><div>So I've been given my first brief of bye semester: what am I like?. Initially I thought this task will be an easy breeze but then I thought what am I ACTUALLY like? <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Our task was to select 10 topics from a list of 13 and visually display what we feel defines us. I decided to take a different route and ask my close friends what they feel suits me best to each topic. (Which was quite interesting to hear to say the least), I asked 10 friends and wrote down the majority of answers. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMAH6HCWxTlrmfpqGNhxNWlXLbc5ZIwcopG5hsR_sI2toT3VdLiGhqVSLzNHh5ZNYTXXwQCCupxPc2S7h7BgWlX1H7A4lgS-unLsclHj0l18D6VZ2QThZCu5ARjdpJRo4l2OXBK8ksIdM/s640/blogger-image--206352279.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMAH6HCWxTlrmfpqGNhxNWlXLbc5ZIwcopG5hsR_sI2toT3VdLiGhqVSLzNHh5ZNYTXXwQCCupxPc2S7h7BgWlX1H7A4lgS-unLsclHj0l18D6VZ2QThZCu5ARjdpJRo4l2OXBK8ksIdM/s640/blogger-image--206352279.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Above is a mind map of what things I will include in my project.

Unfortunately I was I'll the whole time so luckily I have a Spanish speaking bf to get me the drugs I needed! Although I was ill I still appreciated the amazing architecture. As Barcelona is a fairly big city there are lots of tour buses to chose from, which was great for poorly me to have a sit down while getting the breeze blown in my face!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xf3z1X13rtweP0NZAJo9ErG3e0DNU0Lr57sjVADaubtCHhNare9BXSv5Q7OySuxjrRcdbKyOLwG-JXL8H-df_YdegIPlniKMcFJVvyD0ZEsTu140fUKa3QXrGXk7pS5gW5wVhPedSIo/s640/blogger-image-1098001912.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xf3z1X13rtweP0NZAJo9ErG3e0DNU0Lr57sjVADaubtCHhNare9BXSv5Q7OySuxjrRcdbKyOLwG-JXL8H-df_YdegIPlniKMcFJVvyD0ZEsTu140fUKa3QXrGXk7pS5gW5wVhPedSIo/s640/blogger-image-1098001912.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqP4icw8L1c25_SB_esnDbVfpnRBiUPSqyNtzPnRtwrdovbt3rC4hrJEyu-4cmA6-xMiR3E7FwpZfIncAWSSOf-mNWv2Hs0blO03-g-QTg8ovQ3w0Xwr2ZMxiTR9EB2s7yLJqkfxiWWwU/s640/blogger-image--1693662605.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqP4icw8L1c25_SB_esnDbVfpnRBiUPSqyNtzPnRtwrdovbt3rC4hrJEyu-4cmA6-xMiR3E7FwpZfIncAWSSOf-mNWv2Hs0blO03-g-QTg8ovQ3w0Xwr2ZMxiTR9EB2s7yLJqkfxiWWwU/s640/blogger-image--1693662605.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJcMIog4kF5h61CGmRieM848M6qO4qFYdPz5T8nJYNfidtZgDilVGnX3dVZi_xc139NTv4M6bwUEyxWRmd9fBc1GSAajz650nPcFI2b97Vn3srYpuIP3ZcC5fOKYdzPcrRgvRBtZE1v2g/s640/blogger-image-930194442.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJcMIog4kF5h61CGmRieM848M6qO4qFYdPz5T8nJYNfidtZgDilVGnX3dVZi_xc139NTv4M6bwUEyxWRmd9fBc1GSAajz650nPcFI2b97Vn3srYpuIP3ZcC5fOKYdzPcrRgvRBtZE1v2g/s640/blogger-image-930194442.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE20j2zi39wQq-gc2XXdN44ULHbdH8fyVvlEzJGFdkmEqZV2VsldIQ7KvPZ1T2tkUJNquTBaR4rWZllIA1nMrzeSCPynjKNRBYtPLaotWUI5afIZE0H2TD3KdscfXy5-hH-QucyrXOih0/s640/blogger-image-697605340.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE20j2zi39wQq-gc2XXdN44ULHbdH8fyVvlEzJGFdkmEqZV2VsldIQ7KvPZ1T2tkUJNquTBaR4rWZllIA1nMrzeSCPynjKNRBYtPLaotWUI5afIZE0H2TD3KdscfXy5-hH-QucyrXOih0/s640/blogger-image-697605340.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvUTrS9RsVC05Yh0m7FCxTajZKsni2jooKkrCrVdTHdAlvoCwou96uxhNSAN_c4evwgw64axImYLNtm8fe-Uzk8zeXDS0qIS0CAo4hcpTWDo4BBWZOYCN0cy6jT0r6KrnLRMwcYIOyOBc/s640/blogger-image-1262534111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvUTrS9RsVC05Yh0m7FCxTajZKsni2jooKkrCrVdTHdAlvoCwou96uxhNSAN_c4evwgw64axImYLNtm8fe-Uzk8zeXDS0qIS0CAo4hcpTWDo4BBWZOYCN0cy6jT0r6KrnLRMwcYIOyOBc/s640/blogger-image-1262534111.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822949082804265753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069299946293882198.post-22505153180188405782014-09-29T04:58:00.001-07:002014-09-29T04:58:57.579-07:00Love a bitta interningThere's nothing I love more then getting a good internship which suits your personality and skills perfectly!

I also got to attend team meetings to share my ideas with the team for their exciting upcoming campaign #BlueDuck and the new edition of Wire Magazine which was extremely insightful.

The Topshop zine. Apart from being completely free from any Topshop store (v dangerous for Topshop lovers) it has a distinctive design which I absolutely love. It's kitsch, flamboyant design brings through the brand and identity of the brand perfectly. This zine is definitely my favourite for design and art direction so take a look in your nearest Topshop store!<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzKzmuy-_4gb-wkkpUxy2jnIsxDpqMd9xgpTAGXQPC2zS6I_ICCOtYopuT97OY5hnu-YLI95DxAN6W3_l8djwuGSBVg97RQZrZPCui-YndxBinaM69kmC5LBLSJJOX0LmNf9_PJfDskbo/s640/blogger-image-1072911094.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzKzmuy-_4gb-wkkpUxy2jnIsxDpqMd9xgpTAGXQPC2zS6I_ICCOtYopuT97OY5hnu-YLI95DxAN6W3_l8djwuGSBVg97RQZrZPCui-YndxBinaM69kmC5LBLSJJOX0LmNf9_PJfDskbo/s640/blogger-image-1072911094.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnDr8cKHZ8h3txcu3DoqPa0B7MnvPYdsnhzA1HM2p0tsfs79HZYSMAilE4amJh4fUb1hnoJxqWoi-SqI4gLp1FwsBnnyHMiSODRiciMevqcbGf0c1yuQ0XlIDpVHXC0HfqVoS0YWkewI/s640/blogger-image--927958829.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnDr8cKHZ8h3txcu3DoqPa0B7MnvPYdsnhzA1HM2p0tsfs79HZYSMAilE4amJh4fUb1hnoJxqWoi-SqI4gLp1FwsBnnyHMiSODRiciMevqcbGf0c1yuQ0XlIDpVHXC0HfqVoS0YWkewI/s640/blogger-image--927958829.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVL2UYR0KJGI5qP1bqEmMiBhrh0ylt2GYwF3eCYH7RbLArZJ3P1YpB5eDqIloc15pnpx-K91E3i3H1ZhCilNMQnt6Vyr-DrYdYZ71b2cte6f7xJwu4rdSVos-J5wPKp6KkQ723ktVQizE/s640/blogger-image-988792084.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVL2UYR0KJGI5qP1bqEmMiBhrh0ylt2GYwF3eCYH7RbLArZJ3P1YpB5eDqIloc15pnpx-K91E3i3H1ZhCilNMQnt6Vyr-DrYdYZ71b2cte6f7xJwu4rdSVos-J5wPKp6KkQ723ktVQizE/s640/blogger-image-988792084.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822949082804265753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069299946293882198.post-49989105800115435552014-09-12T12:09:00.001-07:002014-09-12T12:09:41.662-07:00Mock up of business cardsSo I've decided to get organised before I go back to university and create my own business cards! Below are the digital mock ups I created on Photoshop. I then test printed them on a home printer to check colours, design and size. I chose a monochrome theme as it's simple, effective and visually pleasing. I will be adding a creative twist to the cards (they are not finished yet!) which I will post very soon! <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMusRVHFLYd0htul5rTCbp7IKV14XFcmpcqCzAaxK64S0aBWDTlC7gbdRCd72QSkJHGiwiYLj5Cv-EoPK-nUy5etHHkRXJ13XAOGsCYcOyr6-4j8mup4aCpTQ2SWRT39PmqmfxMg4z5Q/s640/blogger-image-998886433.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMusRVHFLYd0htul5rTCbp7IKV14XFcmpcqCzAaxK64S0aBWDTlC7gbdRCd72QSkJHGiwiYLj5Cv-EoPK-nUy5etHHkRXJ13XAOGsCYcOyr6-4j8mup4aCpTQ2SWRT39PmqmfxMg4z5Q/s640/blogger-image-998886433.jpg"></a></div><br><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimxB5sD6Xo7WG3RGa2eeUEC0TgU6gJpdAqq4BZ6_8cq9TanWjuC484c-jywwTDjy2fgBPrEzDjXMdJorRoO_8NXv6TkiRenVcnyJIKigmFWxtcXmVnlzpSixSP8itiHoCZzwyHx080O1s/s640/blogger-image-519646810.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimxB5sD6Xo7WG3RGa2eeUEC0TgU6gJpdAqq4BZ6_8cq9TanWjuC484c-jywwTDjy2fgBPrEzDjXMdJorRoO_8NXv6TkiRenVcnyJIKigmFWxtcXmVnlzpSixSP8itiHoCZzwyHx080O1s/s640/blogger-image-519646810.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWNd_E2erEU1bdMqHTrucdVZUoOxfdj4_Z3rIeB6NhRm0TaiUyExh7K-H5DqgagAryoHKEEbXJmTZduFn9m2PlVhXVnvC0MGzCoLIT7B3l1-VTUGQ-NWky4b6jBdHGdx_qNz3Dt95Q-dY/s640/blogger-image-958055579.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWNd_E2erEU1bdMqHTrucdVZUoOxfdj4_Z3rIeB6NhRm0TaiUyExh7K-H5DqgagAryoHKEEbXJmTZduFn9m2PlVhXVnvC0MGzCoLIT7B3l1-VTUGQ-NWky4b6jBdHGdx_qNz3Dt95Q-dY/s640/blogger-image-958055579.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822949082804265753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069299946293882198.post-2078200700401644332014-09-09T12:18:00.001-07:002014-09-09T12:18:43.879-07:00Walking on water<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font color="#000000"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"></span></font></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><font color="#000000"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBcrHBYSedimGg1fcgGKiBBgiuNu_Td12aGR-HcGybEwbSAG0v8GScxY1b5ECI7KNN_W_IY27oeBpx3edpTq9EVLW7KKAkShQG0x_P_h470irDQ4tD_WMYE8uWTda_-FFBkWisauQfwCQ/s640/blogger-image--53340446.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBcrHBYSedimGg1fcgGKiBBgiuNu_Td12aGR-HcGybEwbSAG0v8GScxY1b5ECI7KNN_W_IY27oeBpx3edpTq9EVLW7KKAkShQG0x_P_h470irDQ4tD_WMYE8uWTda_-FFBkWisauQfwCQ/s640/blogger-image--53340446.jpg"></a></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><font color="#000000">Ralph added another dimension to Fashion Week Monday night in Central Park.</font><p></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">His Polo Ralph Lauren line showed in a runway spectacular with projections of NYC, including the Brooklyn Bridge and other scenes, presented on top of the waters of Cherry Hill lake in the park.

The music, the icons, the catwalks, the colours, the lot! My task was to complete a mood board demonstrating my interest and knowledge on a chosen era. Of course I chose the sixties (my all time favourite era!) as I just love the fashion and history of it, however I wanted to get a better insight into the background knowledge of the swinging sixites. A I have never been (bad fashion student moment) I thought the V+A museum would have all the answers in their fashion exhibition!

For example, me the other day in Topshop (never a good idea) where I found the most gorgeous pair of white platformed sandals, totally fell in love with them, bought them without thinking and got home with no style inspiration on what to wear them with.. fuck. It happens to us all.<br />
<br />
As we all know this SS trend its all about the white. White bags, hair, nails, jeans and most popular; shoes. This, of course, was the sole reason as to why I bought the sandals even though they were quite an outrageous buy for me! Whenever I get into these sticky situations I normally trawl though magazines to find similar styles/colours which match my purchase and take inspiration from the editors pick. However, I recently came across the blogging platform Polyvore which I love to create my own sets and collections with! Its a great way to piece together sets of your particular style, it feels alot more personal and can be great fun!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This Summer I had the opportunity to return to MediaCom for a fortnight to help out with Cannes Media Awards! <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">I have worked at MediaCom working on both internal and external promotional marketing, including designing posters, working with social media and online marketing. During this Summer I worked within the Global Marketing Division at MediaCom assisting with work for the Cannes Media Awards (CMA) 2014. I also assisted with art direction for their up and coming project '2020 connections'!</span></span></div>

I have finally finished my first year of FCP with a 2:1, waheey! This means I can sit and relax at home this summer and do what I like to do best; read with a cuppa. While deciding what my summer read would be I can across 'The Goddess experience' by Gisele Scanlon, whos a travel, beauty and fashion blogger who I absolutely adore; make sure to check her out! While I was trawling through Amazon to find my other glossy summer read (Fashion - Charlotte Seeling) I found her book online for only a fiver (student budget and all that..) which is such an amazing price for a book as good as it is! It is filled with fashion articles Gisele has found and shared, shopping advice, travel guide to the best city breaks (my fav section), how to cook up a storm and the 'happy chapter' - a section to make you think about what makes you happy? I loved this as an ending to the book as it is down to earth and personal, especially towards my situation (boyfriend is moving to Singapore, ah gaaad). I totally recommend this book to anyone who just loves a good read, has an interest in fashion, beauty, travel or blogging!</div>

Phoebe Lettice has collaborated with Illustrated People to create a collection born from a desire for girly clothing with a boyish silhouette and a love of all things Japanese<span id="more-29787" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"></span></div>

Born from a love of Japanese culture, ’90s nostalgia and androgynous shapes, photographer, stylist and designer Phoebe Lettice, has collaborated with East London clothing brand Illustrated People to create a most covetable collection of womens street wear.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
Seeing the entire process through from start to finish, Phoebe not only designed the collection but also styled, photographed and cast the campaign herself. “It has been my life for the last six months,” says Phoebe. “But the core two months leading up to the campaign, I was prepping like mad, calling things in way in advance! I had a huge team working on it, so trying to nail this all in one day with three models and four hair stylists was nuts.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
Launching exclusively on Wonderland today, we see the campaign video that features the twenty-two piece collection in all its pastel-punk, platform-booted, crop top suited glory. Think sporty silhouettes, eyeball motifs, cartoon dinosaurs and models with badass braids and chola curls.</div>

I don't know about you but my bank statement won't look pretty.</div>

<strong>Three – #DancingPony</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the light of the horse meat scandal, mobile network provider Three presented us with an entertaining reason why we shouldn’t add horsemeat to our diets by releasing an advert starring a Shetland pony moon-walking to Fleetwood Mac’s <em>Everywhere</em>. Three’s dancing pony was a hit, generating over a million Facebook shares, 28,000 retweets on Twitter and almost eight million views on Youtube. - thelincolnite.co.uk</div>

<strong>Dove – Real Beauty Campaign</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The skincare brand created a fake editing tool advertised as a beautifying tool free for use on Photoshop. As you can imagine, the tool did the exact opposite by unediting changes that were already made to the image. </div>
