FASHION AND BRAND PROMOTION

Seeing as I took what seems like forever out of blogging and blamed it on my amount of uni work, I thought it was only fair to show what I've been up to for so long!

For my final Fashion and Brand Promotion brief, we were given an assesment project in which we were asked to create a front cover and a double page spread for an existing magazine of our choice (aswell as a whole load of research in a sketchbook too!) After much deliberation, I chose Cosmopolitan magazine and decided to create an interview type article for my double page spread because it's a magazine I read regularly and so I thought it'd be fairly easy to re-create. Although I wasn't 100% pleased with the final outcome due to the last bit of research being slightly rushed, I got a good mark and decided to stop being so critical!

Here it is! (The bad quality is due to a Photoshop file having to be changed to open on my laptop) 

HAIR CHALK

 

I've really wanted to try this ever since Lauren Conrad stepped out with her chalked hair ages ago! I love that you can try lots of different colours all at the same time to create a rainbow look like in the first photo. Usually I'd be a bit apprehensive about messing with my hair but the fact that the chalk washes out means if it turns out to be a disaster I can hide all evidence of it straight away! Hair chalking is definitely on my summer 'to do' list! I'll try Kevin Murphy's 'Colour Bug,' these come in 3 colours, pink, purple and orange and are a bargain at £12.95!
