3rd Idea

Create my own music magazine - I would make a magazine of music going round the south west for example gigs, performances and what has been going on round cornwall when it comes to music. I would put a list of all the venues where things are going to happen and have the magazines round the college as there is no magazines like this in college and there are loads of music students in Penwith College. I thought this would be good because i do love my music and is always wondering if there is any gigs or performances going on around cornwall and i think this would be a interesting project as i am a teenager and i would know what the students would want in the magazine and how to design it so the students would think it is appearling and eye catching.

Here are some examples of other magazines how i would want my magazine to turn out like.

I like these magazines as its not just a page full of writing it has pictures and they have worked the writing in with the picture, which is more appealing as people my age 17-19 does not want a music magazine full of writing. The colours are bold its simple but yet really effective.

2nd Idea

Fashion designs - I was thinking of designing my own clothes line and would create a website, flyers, posters etc... and draw up my designs and maybe even make one of the items out of what i have designed. I thought this would be interesting as im really into my fashion and i am always thinking of designing clothes as i can come with creative ideas.

Here are some examples what i would have to do.

1st Idea

Photo project - Portraits of people or a photoshoot where people would bring a prop in that shows there personality through the picture then i would put a white background in using photoshop. I thought of this idea as i love photography and i thought it was different and i want it to be different then everyone elses. I have been researching photos to get more reasearch on my idea and here are some examples of what i am thinking to produce.

I have been looking of photographers to get more ideas and here are some pictures that have been taken by Richard Avedon

This is how i would want my pictures because i love how he has done them. You can see the man on the left is like a rock man but people may have different opinions and thats how i would want my pictures to turn out, and the man on the right he looks like hes a joker and likes to have a laugh.

How did you collect feedback at the show?

I had a little book with comments on the front and i left it next to my work with a pen.

What did the discussion group say about the show?

Shanice: There should of been more planning so the communication between the two groups and the staff would of been more clear.

Sam: Performance was good and the idea of the hotel was excellent.

Jack: Length of the show was good because at the end the crowd was dying down. He also said that by the end of the night peoples work was getting vandalized so if it went on longer there would of been more damage.

Gem: That the performers didn't get the chance to see the exhibition as they were rehearsing and was in their costumes so the couldn't come out the theatre.

Dylan: Lots of people were commenting on how good the food was and by the end of the night there was hardly any left.

Jodie: Communication with staff was poor as the performers didn't know when the show was beginning so they was waiting back stage for more time than they should of been.

Biyan: Should of had something going on after the show so that the people just didn't watch the show then go home.

Ross: Tidying up after the show was a mess as no one knew what to do and most people went home and left hardly anyone there to clean up so was there later. And the performers needed more rehearsal time.

Me: Should of made it more clear were the exhibition was as people were waiting in reception not knowing where to go. Also we should of made the venue more decorative for christmas and there were children there and i thought it would of been nice for them.

Ellie-Mae: The donation box wasn't clear that it actually was one and that we should of waited at the doors when people was leaving with the box as we would of got more money to go to charity.

Other Points: We welcomed the guests well, Organization to put our work up was good, But we thought the venue could of been better.

What were the strength and weaknesses of your exhibit?

I thought that my photographs looked really nice on the mounting boards and made them stand didnt out. I would of liked the wires to the Apple Mac computer to have not been on show as ithink that looked very nice. I liked the Apple Mac with my photographs on slide show went down really well with the audience as quiet a few people were stopping and looking then writing comments in my book.

What did people say to you on the night in face to face interviews/conversations?

How good my work was and they liked how i put the white background on them because it made them clear and bold. They was asking me why i choose to do this photography project and what made me come up with the idea. People were complimenting on the exhibit and also the food.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

• I thought i had done really well organizing people and arranging a day when it suits them so they are free to come and be the modes for my photographs and i gave them notice so they could bring there props in for their photos.
• I took loads of shots of my models so i could have a range of photos that i could edit and the photos came out well.
• The targets i set on that day i achieved them.

Weaknesses:

• When i edited the photographs i should of given myself longer to edit them as i didn't know it was going to be that difficult to edit them on photoshop
• If i hadn't left the photographs to edit so close to the date it had to be in i could of done the collage of pictures i had wanted to do and the portfolio with more of my pictures explaining what i had done on the night.

Overall i am really pleased with my photographs and i have learnt that if i do put everything in to my work the outcome is really good and i am proud of myself. Ive learnt now that i shouldn't leave work to complete so near the deadline as it was very stressful and i could of done more and i think my portfolio would of been something nice to have in my booth at the exhibition.

Poster for My Photographs

This is the poster i designed for my photographs i choose this because its simple but yet its showing you exactly what i was doing for my project. I created two posters one with a blurb and the other one without. The blurb is explaining my work and why i choose to do it. I think the target audience for my project is from 10 years old up to 50 years old as on the night i was getting a mixture and ages looking at my work. That is why i made a simple poster because its not just aimed at certain age group its really open to any one.
