Buying a domain.


Being someone in the creative industry, having a website is very important because it is enables you to showcase your work in any way that you want to. I already had a website that I was happy with but knew that having a really long and clunky URL would not look professional, so I bit the bullet and bought myself a domain - lewisstewart.co.uk. This is so much more professional as it shows that I am serious about my work and that I care about how I present myself.

Final pin up session (with feedback).

Image
Today we had our last pin up session to get feedback from the people in our class - this has been really helpful in the past to allow me to see how I could improve my work for the exhibition. I decided on placing quite a few images on the wall because I think my project is a lot more effective when multiple images are placed together. Here is what I placed on the wall: It wasn't the best place to put work up on the walls as there was a lot of marks from where people had drawn on the board, so was a slight distraction I thought. I decided to place 3 different paper types on the wall to see if people thought they worked well together: acetate, semi gloss and metallic. I also placed some images on top of others to reflect the meaning of the project and to give it more depth. We then were placed into groups and had to answer some questions about people's work: 1) Can you name the theme? 2) How do the images relate to the theme? 3) Is the choice of scale, sequence or

Making a zine.

I spoke to Richard today about whether I should buy a portfolio box for the exhibition to show the fashion work I have been creating alongside my FMP, and he instead suggested making a zine to present this work instead. I really like this idea because it is an easy way for someone to look at my work in one go as they can simply flick through the book. This is how I intend to print it: For this, I have used Photoshop to select colours from the images themselves and use this colour to create a block page, which I think will work well as it will make the final piece look brighter and more engaging. I have chosen an icy blue colour for the front and back cover because I wanted to have a really stand out book that people would want to look at - I was choosing between this colour and a bright pink; I decided against pink because I know Conor's book has a pink cover and I don't want there to be competition between the 2. I experimented with a few other

Fashion shoot with Marie and Deborah.

Image
After having a meeting with the fashion students a few weeks ago, the day came upon us to shoot for 2 fashion students - they had planned to shoot 2 models in the same day in the studio. I knew this would be tricky to do because is often takes hours to do a shoot with just one model, but we tried it anyway and it ended up working really successfully. They both had very different ideas for their photoshoots as one student was looking at the brand Weekday and then the other was looking at the ways in which we should recycle clothes. This was Marie's moodboard, for the Weekday inspired shoot: Here is Deborah's moodboard, for the recycled clothes shoot: Here are some images from this shoot:
