SUMMER OF FUN (and work)

OK, so this blog is now to become my outlet for the documention of the fruits of my labour this summer. A kind of virtual research file (mainly because my printer has no ink...)
I will be including the following stuff as evidence of all my hard work and research!


Document any work experience - diary, photos etc
Set yourself a visual brief (maybe a visual CV) in order to practise all software skills – Photoshop, In-Design and Illustrator. Ideally you should be producing your third year reports in In-Design. Consider buying CS4 (student rates are very cheap).
Business card, portfolio – how would you market yourself?
Keep up the blog – some great ones for Trend Briefing, would be a shame not to keep adding to them.
Personal interests – flickr, sketchbooks etc
Document trends – festivals you might go to, what are people wearing?
Holiday snaps – look at textures, repeats etc
Street style
Magazine, newspaper, journal articles etc
Visual research – interesting composition, photoshoots etc
Photographers, stylists
Writers – different styles
Marketing – examples of advertising, PR
Art and Design – graphics, architecture, interiors, fine art
Exhibitions visited
Exhibition design
Film reviews
Book reviews
