Nick Turpin – Winter Bus 2016
Nick Turpin’s ‘Winter Bus’ series focuses on the reality of travelling and commuting in London during the cold winter months. This series is inspiring because it fits with my social isolation part of my project. These photographs show the real life of commuters which isn’t always easy, especially on winter nights. I like his use of lighting and the eeriness it creates. I will try and use his techniques in my work to create the same kind of emotion.
I then decided to try out some of my Illustrator techniques. I thought I’d try and create my own fashion illustrations based on the images we took when doing our street research.
After we had done our street research, we then moved onto the second part of the brief which was changing the form of the object in any way we wanted. Firstly we created a mind map of all the ways we could adapt it, for example burning it, cutting it up and ripping it up. Below are a few photos of what we created.
I went to the Louis Vuitton Series 3 exhibition in London. Here I saw Louis Vuitton throughout the years, and how the brand has developed and how Nicolas Ghesquière has brought the brand back to its heritage and roots. This was an inspirational exhibition because it was not only interactive where you could touch the bags and garments but it had also flew in some specialist bag makers from France, and they showed you the intricate details that goes into making each Louis Vuitton bag. 
These Photographs document when I went out with my group and had to take photographs of people wearing blazers, because that was our chosen object. I was quite surprised at the actual number of people wearing blazers because apart from school kids and businessmen I rarely see people wearing them.
