Magazine Artwork

Coming up next term with uni, i have a magazine project, where me and my partner get to create a whole one.

This cover is a major inspiration as it's so different from any other conventional mags ive seen about.

If anyone else knows of any other unique mags, leave a comment! :)

shimmering vomit of crystals

These stunning photos were found on Mandy's blog 'Shimmering vomit of Crystals'.

The beautiful jewel colours clashed together really makes a statement and gives a lucrative exotic look.

They could look great as part of a cosmetics advertisement centred around colour and experimenting.

Vogue Beautfiul

How beautiful are these 2 cover editorials from Vogue Russia?!

Both stunningly styled to keep fitting with the overall theme of the issue, with both colour and font been taken into consideration.

The first image is reminiscent of an exotic jungle with emerald green leaves framing the beauty of the exotic flower. I adore how well established Vogue is to be able to not show all the letters of the publication and keep the front cover content to a minimum to create that luxury, high class publication.

Storm Appearance

Here they are; Mary-Kate and Ashley make a stunning appearance on the red carpet for the Elle Style awards 2010.

Ashley blew the crowds away in a beach storm, vintage Christian Lacriox, adding that Ashley Olsen touch fo wow with enviable Fendi heels. Whilst Mary-Kate modelled a sophisticated yet bursting with subliminal sexiness Lanvin, accessorized with a Proenza PS1 clutch.

Unfortunatly women of the year didn't go to either of these beauties, but which twin took your vote in the style contest this time? I think i'm going to have to go Ashley for that stunning trail.

Paris

Having just returned from a week in Paris and looking back on my photos, i'm deeply missing the beautiful photographic scenery i experienced in my time there.

Staying in Bobigny, quite a distance away from the main centre of Paris, when we first arrived, after a 13 hour coach journey via the EuroTunnel, i wasn't too impressed with the deserted, graffiti'd environment that surrounded us.

However, after a couple of days of adapting to the Metro's, we discovered what Paris was best known for to tourists, it's stunning architecture all framed by pretty soft lighting, really bringing Paris to life come evening time.

With miles of footpaths to walk to explore everywhere around you, you would never be short of discovering new things in Paris. Streets are lined with independant, friendly cafe's offering some of France's traditional plates (at VERY expensive prices may i add!!), however definitly worth the investment to pretend for an hour or two that your living the life of Amelie or such other famous french role models.

Coming to the end of our holiday to Paris, we took a trip up the Eiffel Tower. Having experienced Paris from footpaths in a maze type of experience being surrounded by buildings, seeing Paris from such a height was an breath taking experience and was such a brilliant way to end the trip leaving my memory full with gorgeous, dream worthy images of the city of Paris; a city decorated by fairy lights.

put up your name!

What a fantastic way to display your name. This could be a great idea for my self promotion business card in my 3rd year of uni. I feel a photoshoot coming on!!..

make a point.

Great inspiration from the fonts and first letters to visually represent the department stores!

Burning Beauty

These images are beautifully styled, with reference being made to the wild through the models snakeskin effect tights and the photoshopped lace framing her face in the second image is striking and a really clever idea to gain attention.

The brightness of the yellow works stunningly against the mono tone of the photograph at the the bottom.
