Work Experience: More! Magazine

In February 2011 I got chosen out of hundreds of people to write an online mini-blog for my favourite magazine, More! Magazine. This was such an amazing honour for me as I admire their work so much and love articles which they feature in the magazine. Writing for them is a dream come true and the response I have had from my first few blogs have been amazing.

This is a wonderful writing experience, it is helping me gain more skills and improve on my skills I already have. I work to strict deadline and have to get my topics approved just days before my blog goes online.

9 other girls blog and we are all enjoying this experience and I am sure they all, like me, are hoping that this experience helps us further ourselves as we look to the future.

E4 Campaign

Below are 2 images from a campaign me and some classmates did for E4's Monday Movie Night. The first image shows a storyboard of a television advert where it shows an interrogation of a movie buff who is butch but secretly loves films like Dirty Dancing.

This second image shows 2 print adverts we made for the campaign. They follow the theme of the interrogation. Guilty pleasures was our theme.

Sound effects.

I did Media Film and TV in College. We were creating a film which required a slap so this was a tester video to see how the slap with the sound effect would go down.

Title Sequence

In Uni we had to make a title sequence for a book we had read that wasn't popular or already a film. I chose to do a title sequence about a book called "Singing It" which is about a girl called Flower who is obsessed with old jazz and Peggy Lee.

Inspirations

As an Advertising student I have to have some inspirations in my work. These don't have to particularly have to be images, they can be text, music and even objects found around the household.

One of my big inspirations for my work is Lady Gaga. Not just her videos, her image but her personality too. I believe big personality should be put into all my work so that it oozes virbrancy and originality.

I am a magazine horder, I love my magazines especially More! Magazine, who I am currently a mini-blogger for. I look in magazines and look at their features and photoshoots and look at how they are arrange and this inspires me with how high quality a image can look with few special touches. Here we have More!'s Wow Buy of the Week, I love how beautifully the Bra and Knickers have been captured. The red silk underneath simple as it is reflects the subtle red bows on the underwear which works extremely well in capturing a beautiful eye catching image.

Pictures also inspire me. I love capturing one off perfect camera moments. I also love old pictures and pictures with a special flair to them. Andy Warhol has been mentioned before on this blog I love his work and also Banksy, in my hometown Liverpool there has been protests about protecting a piece of Banksy's work. This is it, The White Cat. It is a beautiful piece of work which many of Banksy's followers admire.



Pop art is what made me want to go into something creative. I love the colour the shapes and the imagination that goes into pop art. I love this image from the brand Coca-cola:



Well thats all the inspirations I have for now will add more as I remember them or even new ones I come across.
