Over the Christmas break I have spent the majority of the time finishing my dissertation, which was about brand loyalty and consumerism. As well as this, I began some initial research for my final major project. However the majority of the time was spent on dissertation, so I feel my final major project has not progressed a lot over the 3 weeks.
Ideas Workshop – Week 2
This week we worked in group tutorials, and briefly spoke about our statement of intent, and explored ideas going forward into the Final Major Project. At this stage my ideas are still extremely broad and I am unsure where I will take my project. It has also been hard to concentrate on the final major project, as the deadline for Business Studies is this week. This week has been spent completing that work.
Final Major Project – Week 1
Briefing
The first week of the project, we were introduced the brief and the expectations for our final major projects. From this briefing, I began to think about the theme I had proposed in the statement of intent, and what sort of outcomes I wanted to produce. As Photography & Styling were given specific outcomes, I began to brainstorm some ideas that would fit into these outcomes.
Location for monki advertorial shoot
We chose this location to do our Monki Advertorial shoot because the existing Monki adverts are all shot in front of a block coloured backdrop. We wanted to keep the element of having the background all one colour, however wanted to change it slightly by having it on location rather than a studio. This location is ideal also because it has a staircase that can create some background and depth for our photographs.
INSPIRATION
This American Apparel zine created by Sean Travis inspired me with the layout and design for one of the spreads in my zines. I like the simplicity of the design and also the use of colours.
