Researching

Today I was researching fashion throughout the 20th century, and posting photos on my Tumblr, I also sorted through personal photos, this gave me a personal insight into the late 20th century, i enjoyed doing this and gathering my research this way. i will need to look at a lot more photos to understand more about the period, i plan to focus on pre sixties when i look tomorrow.
I also want to doing some further research into photography in the 20th century and do some posts on how it developed and the introduction of colour and television.

why i chose to use tumblr as my sketchbook

I chose to use Tumblr instead of a sketchbook so that i could play around with my layouts more and i enjoy doing work digitally. My sketchbook  has always been my weakest work and i feel that i can really improve my work by using tumblr, it means i can layer images and collections together easily and edit my work simply. below is a screen shot from my Tumblr, i chose this layout as it was like a collection of photographs, this relates back to my theme of lost and found photographs, the theme means that i can put collections of photos together with similar themes so that i can talk about them as a whole.

Planning for FMP

I have started planning my FMP, these are my original notes from planning, i knew i wanted to do something to do with fashion history and photography as photography is something i want to develop my skills in and fashion history is my favourite topic.

FMP

Lost And Found 

Trends (evaluation)

Evaluation:
I really enjoyed this project and found it a different type of project to what i was used to, i do not however feel that my group worked well, this was because 2 members weren't here for most of the 3 weeks and i do not feel we were able to communicate our ideas well enough so we all had different ideas about the trend. i feel like i could have produced a better outcome if i had worked in a smaller group were we were communicating well.

Although i did like how my shoot turned out, however i feel that it could have been improved vastly and explored further.

Trends (photo shoot)

make up inspiration 

Chanel, bold graffiti eye make up, i wanted to create a very bold eye look with  muted face and lips

These are my favourite images from the shoot, i love how the shoot came out, the styling really suits my trend and i like how the trend is shown from a male and female perspective. 

if i was to reshoot it i would like to do it on location, i would love to see how it would stand out from a background. i would also like to try a lot more styling ideas, if i had had more time i would have liked to play around with hair and make up more to see what different effects I could get. 

The shoot i decided would look best/ suit Tatler the most, so i then researched the layout of the magazine and got some inspiration for how i would like to set out the piece. below is an example from the magazine, i liked the small photos layered up together and the font in the corner, so i felt this would be a good way to introduce the trend in the magazine.
