Mock-up.

So, I presented my idea yesterday and it totally bombed. At least it's because I'm absolutely rubbish at presentations and was so nervous I felt like I was going to be sick, and not because it's a bad idea.
I really need to find the 'social comment' of it though. I think I have an idea but it needs a bit more of a push. However, at this stage it doesn't matter so much.

So I have a general idea of how I want the finished product to look and it's going in a book. Don't mock the photo, I'm hoping as I get more images, I might be more comfortable with the camera being in my face. As well as this, I'm hoping that the settings will become more interesting as the weather gets better, although the domestic setting is ideal in any case as the project is mainly based around fashion blogging at this stage.

This is generally how I hope the pages of the book will look, that is until they rip it to shreds in my tutorial next week. I should have around 6 images by then so it might look a bit more meaty. You'll have to click it to make it big.

Thanks, Daily Fail.

Women waste £1.6 billion on clothes.
Not only does this make me think, I probably have way more than 22 items of clothing that I never wear, but also that I do need a wardrobe clear-out and this might be another project idea that gets on my nerves, so I'm unsure about it now.

What I really wanted to do was another simple portrait series based on well known characteristics of recognisable personalities, but it's been done to death, just like stuff with masks. I wish I didn't have to strive to be so fucking individual. Although, without meaning to be a bitch, I'm so far from the worst on my course, even with an irritating idea, I might be ok.

So, I've been drifting around Tumblr for the past week or so and not really getting any ideas flowing for my next project, I'll start properly tomorrow. I also went to Disneyland again, but this time with my sister. It was a lovely weekend away and we stayed in a great hotel and I was so impressed with how organised I was in getting us up and ready and round the parks. My sleeping pattern is on French time, which might be good for my productivity.

I went to Chichester today, it was alright, it's quite pretty but seems a bit small. Moon and I had a great lunch, a great improvement on the dire meal we had at Wagamama's to celebrate his exams before I left.

Done and done.

I've finished, everything is off my back.
I actually finished on Friday but now it feels like I really have because the work isn't just sitting in my room, it's actually gone and it's actually going to be marked. I really hope I do well.

I have about 5 ideas for the next project, and I've already started one aspect of one of them, so I guess it makes that one official. But I don't really want to do anything properly until at least next week.

Tomorrow I'm going on a course social and on Friday I have life drawing. Then, a week from Friday, it's Disneyland again ♥.
P.S, yesterday I learnt how to make .gifs.

Bandwagon.

Got myself a Tumblr
Not sure what I'm going to use it for yet, but I've already made a few posts.
I guess just reblogging things I like and shorter blogging. I'm still keeping this one though because I love it so much and I feel like I've worked pretty hard.
