I have selected a few images and edits from my Graphics work to show other aspects of my work. This first image is a development piece from my Unit 3 Fashion Illustration project. I used patterns and brushes to create a floral and exciting scene to simple fashion.
This is a poster from my Unit 4 Public Campaign project, promoting feminism and creating a modern suffragette appeal for womens vote. I have taken a slightly dark approach to this project, showing how women were treated and how disgraceful it was.
This is a doll I made for an art project outside of my college work. The doll was a symbol of how fashion and society can ruin a persons individuality and more so their lives. For example the life and expectational aspects of a celebrity in the media and modern world.

Unit 4 Photography: Mood & Atmosphere.
The above photographs are from my Unit 4 Photography exam project. I chose the question titled Mood & Atmosphere, asking me to create scenes with models and props setting a certain mood. The question suggested I look at Film Noir as a starting point, so I looked at Alfred Hitchcock films and found the Femme Fatales particularly interesting and I went from there photographing a friend in stunning make-up and 30's style hair. I tried using different models but in the end found it easier to direct my original model as she was used to me photographing her. After taking posing pictures like the first two i have selected I tried to use scenarios to inspire the photographs such as 'Capturing a rich mans attention.' and 'Seeing a murderer in a mirror reflection.' I have been researching 'charm' books for women and want to elaborate next on becoming a reformed woman, so taking my model to a more sophisticated scene rather than a sexy one.
Unit 3 Photography: Burning.
For my A Level Unit 3 Photography, we created our own questions and briefs for a full project. I chose to do a burning project, focusing on sequences and shutter speed experimentation. The above image is taken from the sequence of a burning bear I photographed. This image out of the whole set is better because it is from the middle of the sequence, capturing enough of the bear and the flame as a pose to just a prominent amount of the two.
I then burnt various other objects like the above doll. I prefer this photograph from this sequence because it focuses on the feet instead of the face, making the doll seem less identifiable as a human being with feelings, perhaps takng the edge of the strange feel of the image.
The next object i burnt was a book, i found this most interesting to shoot as i like the way the pages shriveled up together creating an unusual kind of pattern and the way the flames almost hugged the book.
I also experimented with matches in my burning project, i formed a sequence of the match slowly burning down from start to finish. The above photograph is from the start of this sequence.
