Photoshoot

This week has gone so quickly and I haven’t completed anything on my list for the week which is not good. I now feel a bit behind and I am going to have to re work my plan to get some of these things finished.

I have started working on my model space, which I think I have got just right in my mind, but I hope it will come across in my diagrams and within my model. I think the space is a big part of the project as it gives the feel of what my collection is all about. The merge of an exhibition and a shop space has been really interesting to work with. I have split my space into three sections, with the themes of each room running together.

I did another photoshoot this week, with photographer Adam Fussell. I wanted to have two contrasting sets of photos, this set of photos is more concept based and they were in the studio. The model is meant to be antique and statue like which I think has worked, but I think it may have needed a bit more paint and makeup for it to really stand out. I think these type of images will look good for my exhibition brochure and for a magazine layout.

I’ve had a nice weekend, just chilled out and enjoyed the nice weather, I think the relax has made me a bit more focused and I feel more ready to get everything done this week.

Weekend off

This week I feel I have made a bit of progress, I’ve got my look book together now and I have some of my photos edited, which is good. I’m doing another photoshoot on Friday to show the concept behind my gloves, also it gives me two sets of images to use which gives the brand a bit more variety. I need to start get some final things printed off and made up, I’ve done bits of everything but need to get some things finished. This weekend I took some time off, Relaxed saw my mum and went shopping. I think I needed the break as I feel more focused now.

My photoshoot

Time is going by...

This week has flown by so fast and I really feel that I have achieved nothing. I feel really stressed out, I know what I have to do, but I am doing it and it’s just not turning out how I want it to. I feel quite down as well, I really want uni to be finished now, I am fed up with all of the stress and the constant worry and work. I feel that things are always on my mind and that I can’t stop worrying about them or put them to the side for even a little while. The fashion show seems to be starting to get some things clarified now, we have the contract through from the venue so hopefully things will start to take some shape soon.
I feel like I really need a break from things at the moment, but there isn’t any time for a break, so I’m just going to have to keep going and just hope that everything works itself out.

Fashion show stress!

Fashion Show
So we are at a point now where everything needs to be pretty much sorted for the fashion show. It’s been really stressful, probably more so than doing my actual project work. Me and Katherine are course reps so we put in charge of managing everyone and everything. We have been collecting and recording the money, sorting out the contracts and the meetings, and seeing over everything.
Its been really hard trying to take into account everyone’s ideas but also making sure that everyone helps out and is putting in the same amount of time.
We have had some issues with the venue, in the first instance we were finding hard to find any sort of venue, but in the end we found one called Alea, and that capacity was still quite small but it was bigger than all the others we had found and they were also offering us the venue for free, so it was too good an opportunity to pass up. Unfortunately we were then made aware that the capacity numbers were actually a lot smaller than first anticipated, so it caused a lot of problems and a lot of stress. We have a meeting with the venue tomorrow to finalise thing and we have decided that we are going have two shows.
It can be quite difficult sometimes, as we are giving information by college and when the group ask if they can do this or can do that, I will tell them what has been said and they see it as me or Katherine making that decision when actually it has been set by college so sometimes we can end up in quite awkward and uncomfortable situations.
I am hoping that the meeting tomorrow can sort some things out.
