2nd Year Finished!

My second year at uni is done! I had 3 deadlines on Friday of my developed portfolio, Jonathan Aston report and my dissertation presentation, stressful week but all handed in on time. I cannot believe my 2nd year is over already! I was also chosen last week to present my presentation to the brand Jonathan Aston, which I believe went really well! Its been such a fun year and now set with my summer project its time to start my third year work! I now can look forward to my long summer :)

♥

I came across this site we♥it about a month ago and since showing my house mates its become a bit of an obsession in the flat.

Weheartit is a website where people can upload an album with their favourite inspiring images. People can then heart the images if they like them. There are thousands of pages of images, with a search tool to find specific images. Here are some of my favourite I have come across:

Cosmetics

My LOVE for Topshop is apparent and their new cosmetics range is something which I am yet to look at properly for myself. However their new makeup range launched this week seems to be a hugeeeee success within most stores. The exciting trend focused makeup collection is to be updated every 3 months and currently has the festival inspiration, perfect for the summer months. The Topshop website allows you to view video tutorials on applying their makeup as well as a virtual makeover which I did quickly try out!

Diet Coke has also launched a nail varnish range. Collaborating with Nails inc, the limited edition range will be inspired by one of the four fashion capitals; London, Paris, New York and Milan. The collection will taste of diet coke! The varnishes will available throughout all Boots stores and given away free when purchasing two bottles of diet coke! I can't wait to find these and try them out!

Summer

Ahhh it seems forever since I was last on here! Uni work has been seen to take over my life at the moment, only 2 more deadlines and 2 weeks of it left before summer!!

Summer so far is looking good, a week at Glastonbury and Bestival and hopefully a holiday somewhere abroad on the cards. EXCITED! A recent trip to Newcastle saw me and some friends visit the beach which tells me its nearly summer. I happen to have purchased a wardrobe full of playsuits recently with the sun and the urge to have a new summery wardrobe and some good festival clothing. Along with a cute daisy dress I bought today :) Now on the hunt for some nice hunter wellies.

Fisheye

I got my first film developed from my fisheye. Having only messed about with a couple of friends cameras in the past I was quite pleased with the outcome of the first pictures which me and my house mates took over March/April time. Here are a couple

JA

After a 3 week break from uni and the sun now out I cannot wait for summer!! However I have been set my last project for the year. This is to work with Jonathan Aston, a brand known for its hosiery and innovative fashion legwear. The British brand offers fishnets, laces, bold stripes and bright opaques amongst its collections.

We are challenged to be the Marketing Manager for the brand and are set to increase brand awareness in the UK within the next two years aiming more towards under 25's. This will be through focusing on developments in new media creating a new website, packaging, logo, visual merchandising, a collaboration, PR etc
