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.

Performance

Vogue Italia September 09 presents...

Autumn is now upon us, dark nights are here, leaves are falling off the trees, and Christmas theatre plays are being advertised. Vogue Italia catches the season so perfectly in one of my favourite editorials yet!!

The colours are amazing, bright but yet so deep, sealing in the autumn atmosphere.

What are your thoughts on this editorial, and which front cover did you buy? Mine was the second one!

just another magazine...

Autumn is now upon us with this cherry coloured editorial from Another magazine.

Kate Moss in Galiano looks stunning in these bruised pinks and purples, and the volume is stunning- creating a dreamy, heavenly effect of floating pink.

Gemma Ward

Draped in purple and wrapped in roses, this image is luxuriously stunning.

I love how her lipstick is match so perfectly to the tones in the roses, as the image is really brought together and balanced perfectly.

Darla Baker

I found these AMAZING photos on Knight Cat's blog, and had to blog them on my own page as they're so beautiful!

The images are so strong with their powerful use of neon technicolours, and she owns the most amazing facial structures.

Definitly a rose that has blossomed out into our eyes!

Graffiti

I really love the overall appearance of this editorial. The bright neon colours really stand out and pop on the dark black, contrast background. I think hand written fonts layered on top of digital photographs make any editorial look unique and individual, as it suddenly owns a kind of personal touch, even though it's probabaly been printed over a million times.

The composition too is well composed, with the the two tallest girls in the middle and two shortest on the outer sides, this leads your head from the left, up and around to the right, where you're then faced with the text to read.

This type of inspiration would work well for a brand wanting to portray a street and quirky edge to their image.

In The Mood

Inspired by World War 2. This editorial is stunning.

Nylon

I find this May 2009 edition of Nylon absolutly amazing! If this was sat on a shelf with all the other high fashion magazines, this would most definitly steal the limelight for me! I'm definitly going to try and recreate this and warm up my photoshop skills once again. It manages to use all rainbow colours in a quirky and not tacky way, whilst creating a fun, upbeat and summer image.

This edition from Feb. 2007 is so beautiful. I love the mixture of hand written additons to typed text, and the stencil font used creates a more delicate and pure contrast to the punk style boots Sienna is seen wearing. The colours are perfect for a Valentine edition.

Wonderland Cover Edits

I've been given a summer task to re-create a magazine cover of my choice, and think that these Wonderland edits would be a great challenge for me to take on.

Trouble Boy

Great inspiration for a quirky magazine spread.

Wildfox Summer 2009. J'adore this!!!

I absolutly adore this catalogue by Wildfox, and it is definitly one of my all time favourites i have ever seen. Taking influence from Chanel in the font and usage of numbers, but adding a more urban, younger feel with a polaroid style picture. I especially love no. 25 breaking the rules, and how it is the only page to have the white strip go vertically, breaking the rules of the layout of the book. The overall feel is very kitsch, fun and entertaining to both look at and read. An absolute favourite. x x x x
