So before we all set off to Gala, we were set a summer project by our tutors which involved creating an A3 magazine spread based on magazines such as i-D or Dazed And Confused. I picked i-D, i really loved the simplistic contemporary feel and decided it reflected me the most as i don't dress in crazy colours of wear a jewellers worth of adornments, I live in my vintage Levi shorts, simple vests and most likely a ripped pair of tights (not by choice, i just need to look at tights and they rip).
For the project i nominated my boyfriend Chris to take the photos, mainly because
a) he's good
b) will teach me photoshop and
c) i don't own a camera that's not film.
So after a daty's worth of me telling him what i want, him teaching me how to do it and then me standing awkwardly infont of the camera i'd had enough. I hate photos! So much, my face seems to seize up into an awkward grimace. So by the end of the day I just started being the idiot i am, and it worked out not bad! This one is my favourite:
But i actually really enjoyed the project, even though most would hate holiday homework I was glad to be brought up my repetitive loop summer seem to enforce on people and actually look forward to studying fashion! And the project has made me further considered working for a magazine, doing layouts, photos or styling.
Talking to the people hereand finding out so many of them have travelled has really given me itchy feet. I'm really wanting to look into an internship for this summer, but we'll just have to see! Right now i'll be kept occupied with Gala and hopefully get another 20 internet connection like this one so i can post some more!
And incase anyone wondered, here is my page layout, based on i-D's Pre Fall 2010 issue:
