Week 2

Last week during our PPRD sessions we had to create a mood board using photoshop- this was a session to help us get used to using photoshop. I found this quite easy as I reguarly use it in my spare time and was first taught how to use it during AS levels.
To follow on with the mood boards that we created during our session on monday, we had to choose a theme such as;
Punk, Military, Random, Handmade or Post Raphatalism.
As i did military for the original mood board, i decided to create one for punk.
Jamie showed us how to get images off of flickr commons so that they are copyright free, these means that when we go to use them within our work we don't have to worry about referencing the images in a bibliography, although this is obviously really useful, the images are quit limited so after a while i gave up and ended up using images from the normal flickr and google images.

below is the punk mood board that i created.

As you can probably tell i am totally obsessed with Alice in Wonderland and anything to do with it.
My title image was taken from a photo shoot that was in Vogue in 2003, it was based around Alice's story. Annie Leibovitz is an amazing photographer, I love the way she's managed to capture the playfulness and childishness of the story. Instead of the shoot feeling like it is full of high price tags and being a world of high fashion, Leibovitz has created Alice to be a sweet little girl running around in gorgeous dresses. Clearly capturing the whimsical and wonderful world of Alice's wonderland.



“My name is Alice, so please Your Majesty,” the young girl, draped in Dior Couture, said softly. “ You make me giddy!” screamed the Queen.

I am completely in love with this dress and everything about the photograph, the flamingoes, the clothes and John Galliano's face. This photo is perfection!!



Tweedledum and Tweedledee
“If you think we're alive, you ought to speak,” said the one marked DEE.
This dress is from Victor and Rolf, as it is clearly them in the role of Tweedledee and Tweedledum. This particular dress is actually really relevant to our sculpture brief that we were given yesterday, as I am intending on creating a garment that is really structural hopefully mixing romanticism with strong harsh lines.



I love how the designers are involved in the shoot its as if they are showcasing their amazing dresses.






I am so unbelievably in love with everything about this shoot - and would love to do one myself inspired by these photos.
