Rihanna's collection

So Rihanna's collection has hit river island stores and in my opinion it is nothing great. Alot of the clothing are bright neon colours and are casual clothing. They are all very edgy which only certain people like Rihanna herself can pull off. Its a big dissapointment as there was such a big build up to its release. I personally wont be buying from the range but it will be interesting to see how well it does sell. Below are two pictures of some of the collection.

The Parlour Contract

As part of our fashion design module we were asked to design a uniform for the parlour pub in Limerick. They then picked three finalists from our class which were Katie, Rose and Autumn. The parlour then held a fashion show to shocase the designs the girls had made. There was also some finalists from the second year design class. Out of the lot of them there was only to be one winner and that was Rose!!! Above are some pictures of the night including the outfit Rose had designed.

Fashion Photo Shoot

As part of our photography module we had to do a fashion photo shoot. We each had to pick a dress which the second year design class students had made. I picked the pebble stone dress. My model for the shoot was my cousin Chloe. On the day I was the last person to do the shoot and I was a bit nervous but once I started I loved it! I used accesories like sand and a bucket and spade and I also used some tree twigs. The photos came out really well and above are some examples.

Business card

Last tuesday in class we designed a business card for ourselves. Above is the one I created for myself.

Adjustments

 

As part of our photography class we had to select our ten best images and to use photoshop to do some slight manipulation to them to make them look even better. Below are the results.

(Rule of thirds)

In this photograph I adjusted the contrast to make it brighter and I changed the size of the photograph to remove a hand from the left hand side as it was very distracting.

 

(Colour)

In this photograph I changed the contrast to make it brighter and I also changed the exposure. I love the way this photograph turned out and its my favourite out of the ten.

(Texture)

In this photograph I changed the size of the photograph to remove a leaf from the bottom of the photograph as it looked out of place and I also changed the exposure.

(Atmospheric)

In this photograph I changed the exposure and I changed the size of the photograph to remove the edge of my neighbours house from the side of the photograph.

(Rule of thirds)

In this photograph I changed the contrast to make the swan stand out more and I also changed the exposure.

(Symmetry)

In this photograph I changed the size of the photograph to remove a wall from the left hand side and I also changed the contrast. I decided to make the photograph a bit darker than it had been as I felt it gave it more feeling.

(Shutter speed)

In this photograph I changed the size of the photograph to remove another person from the right hand side and I also changed the exposure.

(Shutter speed)

In this photograph I changed the exposure and I also changed the contrast to make the orange on the helmet and motorcycle stand out that bit more.

(Depth of field)

In this photograph I changed the size of the photograph to remove a shadow from the left hand side and to remove an unwanted object from the right hand side. I also changed the contrast and exposure.

(Pattern)

In this photograph I changed the size of the photograph to remove rubbish from the bottom of the photograph and I also changed the contrast.
