Inspired!

Ok so I'm cooking dinner and my friend Kat is sitting on the chair and pulls out an absolutely gorgeous, bright orange, vintage typewriter! I've decided I definitely want one! She's producing little Christmas postcards with them with little rhymes such as 'look at me I'm a tree you can hang sweeties on me' etc :) soooo cute it's unbelievable!

P.s please don't copy this idea! It's copyrighted on Kat's behalf haha :)

Gone too far?


Ok so, for my dissertation i'm focusing on two campaigns, the 1994 Wonderbra 'Hello Boys' and the 2007 advertising for Tom Ford's 'first fragrance for men'

Is this acceptable or offensive?

What else do I do?


Last week, we were set a brief of doing something that wasn't necessarily graphics and explore otherareas such an annomation, ilustration, photography etc. I chose to work with two other girls on my course (Nina and Laura) and we had a really good week! The photo's weren't amazing but this is probably my favourite out of the 3 we did.



We even managed to blag a photoshoot at Odeon cinema in some posh hidden away section :)
Ok so today I started my new packaging brief - M&S Christmas card packaging! Doesn't sound too exciting I know, but I wanted to stay away from the cliche packaging of 'chocolates and wine' in my portfolio. Need to crack on with ideas but here's a good packaging website to start with:

The Dieline

I'll post ideas and development as and when they happen!
Well, I suppose this is technically my 'first post' so far.
I've settled into my third year at Norwich University College of the Arts pretty well! I no longer feel like the 'new girl' and more like a proper student!
I've already had an advertising and a branding brief and now I'm just starting on the packaging one. Four different options and more options within those so I had better decide quickly - I only have two weeks for this one!

The on going dissertation is, well, not that on going. I've yet to write anything and I have 5 weeks left for the 5,000 words! However, I have written the plan and the title 'Sex sells, but should it?'

I hope to update most days, or whenever anything interesting happens, with interesting links too :)
