Finally.
This was such a fun experience to participate in and i thoroughly look forward to submitting my own design next year in the hope of having such a great opportunity!
And the winner is.....
My Student.
The three girls presented their ideas and we could choose which one we liked the best and join them to assist with their build and bump in. I chose Jordan, whose outdoor library idea was well thought out and very creative. The idea was that essentially these days because of technology and the loss of the work life balance in many homes there is no longer a sense of escape and relaxation within the...
Grand Designs.
So this semester we were tasked with assisting some 3rd years with Grand Designs. Most will know what Grand Designs is, but for those of you who don’t its a UK television show that follows the design and build of unique homes across the UK. There is also a Grand Designs Australia. Our uni was approached to participate by having all the 3rd year styling students enter designs with 3 to be...

Fashion Film...
We were also tasked with creating a fashion film as apart of this assessment. I chose a ‘behind the scenes’ type short film to showcase shooting an editorial feature. It was a challenge seeing as i have never edited a film before, however i figured out how to use iMovie pretty quickly and am happy with the result considering my limited knowledge of film editing.

This shoot was fantastic! the images came out exactly as we had hoped and had the exact feel and aesthetic we wanted. It was fun and cheeky and our models did such a great job, especially seeing as they aren’t professional models.
Celebrity Shoot...
Our next task was to do a celebrity inspired shoot using 2 models. Our group decided to use Eamon Sullivan and Stephanie Rice as our inspiration along with the Tom Ford ad campaigns.

Charge...
After a great collaboration we have ended up with a fantastic shoot! With great props from Bam Bam in Williamstown and garments and accessories from everywhere and anywhere we could find them the images look great. Our model, Tanya, did a fantastic job, especially with an excitable team directing her.
Editorial Shoot...
After group assignment, my group and I discussed what sport theme we wanted to pursue for this editorial shoot. After throwing some ideas around we settled on matador bullfighting with the 80’s as our era and DIY brights as our colour palate. We began researching and have found some perfect examples, including a shoot for Vogue Japan. We have moved forward and begun sourcing all items to be...

First Draft Layouts
I have produced a first draft of my layouts which i am ultimately very happy with, the only real editing that needs to happen before i produce the final product is minor text alterations. There is some debate with the image i selected for my second depth of field shoot so i may need to work that lay out a little further before i am completely happy with it.
Depth of Field 2...
I wanted to inspire wishful thinking and memories with this shoot so the concept i decided on was to create a ‘message in a bottle’ style image showcasing accessories. I sourced a large jar to use and gathered accessories from the store Louisa in my colour palette to showcase, to finish it off i wanted to incorporate an image to inspire a memory of the past so i searched my previous...

Depth of Field 1...
My concept for the first depth of field shoot using my criteria was to create a mobile out of sunglasses. I wanted to incorporate a ‘make’ so i altered two pairs out of three by adding wood and metal nuts as well as dipping them in wax to represent my sport. Surfing inspires soft natural tones and a vintage feel which i tried to recreate by using natural twine and brown tones. The...
Shoot 1... Flat Lay
After confirming my concept with all parties, inclusive of my colour scheme of recycled, era of the 70s and sport being surfing. I proceeded to source the items to include in my first shoot, which will ultimately be a flat lay. I looked at surfing and fashion trends that I could associate with surfing as a sport but also with the social views that accompany surfing. Trying to avoid the ‘beach bum’...
