TYPO | Looking At Typography

If you read my most recent post in the FCP section, you will know that one of my briefs that we were given was a self promotion brief. In this brief we learn how to maket and promote ourselves as brands. 

As part of this brief, we began looking at typography. I have always been interested in font as I think that font can really make or break a brand. Choosing the correct font is so crucial as it truly helps to convey the message you want to promote. 

FCP Year 2 | New Year Means New Briefs

If you didn't know already, I am studying Fashion Communication and Promotion at Nottingham Trent University. First year was a bit of a struggle for me as I didn't enjoy every aspect, but I am hoping that second year will be a lot more smooth sailing. From the sound of things, it seems like this year is set to be more creative, and since I prefer a more hands on learning experience I am looking forward to it!

We have already been given our 3 briefs for this term. These are:

New Directions For My Blog | Music

I am someone that has many interests, but one of my main ones is music. I cannot go a day without it. I am always playing music, whether I'm in the shower, doing work or just chilling out. Also, when it comes to genres, I listen to almost anything. It goes without saying that music is such a crucial part of my life, and since this is the case I want to make it a part of my blog. 

Key Fashion Trends For Autumn/Winter 2017

So Scandalous | Kendall and Kylie 'Vintage' T-shirt Line

The Kardashian/Jenner sisters are known for being culture vultures but this was a step too far. We are used to seeing them profiting off of black culture and rebranding it as if it were their own and a ‘new trend’, and their new line of t-shirts is another example of this. The Jenners, Kendall and Kylie were branded 'disgusting' and 'disrespectful' after the release of their new t-shirt collection which features their faces plastered over the top of images of legendary musicians such as Notorious BIG and Tupac Shakur.

Abstract Episode 2 | The Art Of Sneakers

Abstract: The Art of Design is a new Netflix original series that profiles eight designers representing various different fields within the design industry. From architects like Devlin and Crawford to graphic designer Paula Scher, each episode goes into detail about 1 designers occupation and how they have contributed to the industry. 

MTV VMAs 2017 | 3 Of The Best Dressed Celebrities

It's that time of year again for the MTV VMAs. The show most definitely continues to shock and excite us each and every year. From jam packed performances to controversial acceptance speeches, the VMAs never fails to disappoint. Whilst the music is the most important part of the awards, the red carpet (or blue carpet in this years case) is just as important.

Key Makeup Trends For Autumn/Winter 2017

Winter is quickly approaching, meaning that trends are beginning to change. From the fresh faced highlighted look that was very popular in the Summer months, the trends for this autumn/winter are the complete opposite. From the runway, designers have showcased a variety of different makeup looks, but here are 3 trends that I think are set to take over:
