So today was the day that I handed in my window display! If you didn't catch my last uni project post, I had to create a window display for a chosen store based on an event, day or trend during Spring/Summer '14.
I decided to create a display for Urban Outfitters, specifically the Manchester City Centre store, and my day was 'World Music Day' which is on the 21st of June every year!
We had the choice to make a 2d or 3d model, and I thought a 3d model would be a lot more visual and interactive!
The picture below is the finished result, the idea being that a live band is playing in the window!
Bringing music back to the streets of Manchester in a way that has never been done before. Urban Outfitters Amplified presents World Music Day 2014:
I've finished! It's official, hand in was this week and I was SO happy to finally finish and hand in this project...designing and creating a package was a lot harder than I first thought!
The final piece:
Just over a week ago I shared a different type of post, showing you all my new brief from University and some of my initial ideas. I decided to add a follow on post to show you guys how I'm doing with the project and some pieces of work I've made.
Collage has always been my favourite type of medium to work with and I try and incorporate it into many of the projects that I do, as drawing and painting aren't my strong point. I've combined the image of Alexa and some of the key motifs used by my chosen artist, Alia Penner to create the following pieces:
(I am by no means a pro on photoshop, I am quite the opposite but I'm using it nearly everyday and creating new things to practise practise practise)
15 days till deadline!
Since I seem to neglect this blog a little during assignments at university, I've decided a good way to combine the 2 is to create some posts based around what I'm studying and sources of inspiration for current projects I'm working on!
It's also a good place for me to collate some of my research and findings all in one place.
(For those of you who didn't know, I'm studying Fashion Promotion at University and I'm currently in the second semester of my 1st year.)
