Week 16 - Summary & Evaluation.

3rd May


Hello,


Now I have my book finished I have a few more pieces of work to finish. I need to finish off my evaluation and my summary.


I have made a great start on both of these and am hoping to have these done today so that I can double check everything and check over my other hand-in. 


It has been quite a challenge to work towards two projects but this has helped me to learn to manage my time and focus on deadlines. I am happy with the outcome and how I have personally worked as I have spent a lot of time independently learning and working, which has been challenging but rewarding.


So, I am almost done and it feels a bit weird, I CANT BELIEVE IT IS ALMOST OVER.

Week 15 - My FMP book has been published and is ready to buy!!

Hello Everyone,

It has been a busy month for me. I just wanted to show off the culmination of 3 months of hard work and planning! My book 'Making up a myth' is based on make-up and hair design which has been inspired by Ancient Greek mythology.

Please have a look at the preview and if your feeling rich, grab yourself a copy!! Let me know what you think!

Thankyou so much,

Week 15 - My book has just been delivered! WOOP!

27th April


WOOOP! I am so pleased with how my book has turned out. It was like Christmas day opening it this morning! :)


As I opened the box up I was so nervous yet so excited I could not get the wrapping off quick enough! As I opend up the box I had to close my eyes with anticipation and I was so overwhelmed when I opened them, the cover looks great! I am really happy with the overall look and feel to the book. The inside pages have come out perfectly and I'm glad there are no major faults with the printing!! I have also triple checked the written work inside and I cant spot any mistakes so that is great news, all in all, its turned out brilliantly.


Each of the pages have turned out so well and It is quite overwhelming seeing how my hard work has paid off. I could not be happier with my end result, I think the book looks professional and stylish which is exactly what I was aiming for. The appearance of the book gives off a contemporary yet creative feel. I am going to be quite said to hand it in!! I love it that much.


If I could change anything I would only make some small additions to the book. For example, I would have liked to add a few more characters and a step-by-step guide to some of the looks. This would give the book more bulk which I believe it would benefit from. But other than that I am incredibly happy, I think it works really well for the target market.


Im off now, to show it off and get some feedback!


Talk soon,

Week 14 - Just sent my book to be PUBLISHED!!

19th April


So, today has been quite a strange day!! I feel a bit empty now my book has been sent off, but I am SO excited to see it printed!! 


I spent the morning going through each page with the graphic designer to check for mistakes and faults, I am glad we did as there were a few changes to be made. However, overall it was pretty much ready and after an hour or so of double checking, I was happy to send it.


I opted for express delivery as I do not want to risk not receiving the book in time. Although it did cost me an extra £26, eeek!! I am so poor now but this book is so worth it!! 


Whilst this is being printed I am going to work on going over my reflective log and completing my summary!

Week 13 - Just received my pictures :)

17th April


AaAaAaA!!!! 


I received my pictures from Tom yesterday, he sent them last night and they took an hour or so to download in the folder. I was super excited to see them edited!


I am so pleased with the outcome though, I have a great set of images, they look so professional and creative, I cant wait to place them in my book :) I am really pleased with the final images although I would have like to have seen more edited as I only saw a select few! The ones I have are  great though, very happy!


So, now I am able to put them in my book, it wont take me long to get this all finished now!! I am meeting up with the graphic designer to decide the running of the photos and how they will look in a series.


I will speak soon!

Week 11 - Image Preview of Medusa & Basilisk

Hey everyone :)

I've been working hard on my FMP, a makeup book inspired by Greek Mythology. I recently got some preview images of 2 of my characters, Medusa and the Basilisk.

I would really appreciate your feedback and comments!

Hope you like my work!

Medusa

I really like this picture, I like the layout and think it shows off  the makeup and hair styling really well. My favourite elements in the picture are the cheekbones and the eye makeup, I really like how the colours have come out on camera.

Medusa

This is my favourite image from the Medusa collection, I am so pleased with this photograph, I think its really strong. I love the composition and I love how the makeup and hair look!

Basilisk
