Magazines

 

When researching into a range of magazine layouts that link to fashion I really appealed to this certain layout as I was really drawn in my the yellow colour that it placed behind the text. In doing this it draws the reader to look and read through the text as well as it appearing professional. The layout of the front cover has its own style to it as it has a 6 number with a title running across it and an image inserted at the top which gives its own effect to the magazine. The yellow coloured boxes behind the text creates a different effect as well as helping it appear more to the reader. 

color trend boards

 

This is a piece of research that links to colour trend boards. When exploring this trend board I found that there is a multiple images that relate to the colour orange which is the theme this trend board us trying to portray. After seeing this board I felt that having a bright orange colour board makes an appearance to the audience more as its a brighter colour. In having different types of images within the board it creates a better effect rather than sticking to one certain image. When having the images separated on the page and having two images larger than the rest make them stand out more to the audience. The main images consist of orange garments, these stand out more as they are larger than the rest. 

research on editorials

 

This is an example of a fashion editorial piece that I have used for research because it inspired me. The reason why I used this particular editorial was because I admire the way that the image is the main focus and the lighting really brings out the models facial expression. The piece has one main image which draws in the audience. The editorial is very professional by the way it is laid out and the way that there is a use of minimal amount of text that is supplied with a great description about the editorial. In having the background a simple black colour helps the images stand out more from the page as they are the main focus as well as it being black means that the model can be the first focus of the page. I feel as that having a small amount of text that sums up the point enhances the fact of how important the images are rather than the text. For inspiration in my work I will take from this editorial they way the image has been placed and were the text has been placed. The style of this editorial creates mystery. 

alice in wonderland mood board research

 

This is an example of research an Alice in wonderland mood board  that is promoting a range of images relating to the theme. The explanation as to why this really appealed to me was because of the range of images that have been used as well as it being a colourful board which grabbed my attention. I found that the board really relates to the theme. The layout of the board  is very unique as it has the images broken up into different sections so that they aren't overlapping each other to create a tidy page. Having the title on the page influences the reader to be able to understand the board and what its about. In having a bright colour scheme to the board it enhances the view and appearance of the board.



Look book research

This is an example of a look book that is promoting for all saints. The reason as to why this really inspired me was because of the use the black and white tones. I felt that it really relates in with the theme of the store as well as the trend. The layout of the book is very unique as it has sections of black blocks added to create mystery on the page as well as not over lapping the images so that you can focus more on them all together instead of it looking untidy. The models are all in different stances which gives different feelings of movements for the garments. This look book appears to be very stylish and trendy which will relate to their audience.



Fashion book layout

 

 

This is an example of a fashion book layout that I have used for research. The reason why I used this particular book layout was because I admire the way that the images are placed on the page. All of the pictures on the page all link together as well as them being nicely laid out so that there isn't an untidy place of images. The book looks very professional and the way that there is only a few columns of text inspired me to use a minimal amount of text as well in my own work. In having the background a simple grey colour helps the images stand out more from the page as they are the main focus. I feel as that having a small amount of text that sums up the point enhances the fact of how important the images are rather than the text. For inspiration in my work I will take from this book they way the images have been placed and arranged on the page.

Editorial Pages

My editorial was inspired by my FMP theme which was mainly based on Colleen Atwood’s work and costumes. The reason I picked Colleen Atwood's work to influence mine was because of the use of patterns and colour scheme she used within her work. I used and adapted images that I found on the Internet. To be able to change the photos to the way I wanted them I used Photoshop. Once I amended the images by adding my own style of title that said "Colleen Atwood". I wrote up information about her and made sure that the write went around the images background, which was the tree to generate a better outcome. After I added the text I decided that I should edit the background so it looked smoother and similar to each other was a skill I developed in Photoshop, I did this by using the clone tool. I really am impressed with how my editorial came out at the end because it appearance is very professional as well as being similar to each other so that the people reading it would know that they both link together. The one item I would decide to change if I was to do my editorial again would be the second page by having less text on it as I feel like the amount of text on it is over powering. This piece of work also influences the amount of skills I've developed in Photoshop.
