Minimal Posters; Poirot...

Recently I've been obsessed with the minimal movie posters I've been finding on Pinterest. I think it’s amazing how you can strip back so much content and just use simple shapes and iconography to create an instantly recognizable 
poster. Here’s a few of my favourites (found via Pinterest).

So I thought I’d have a whack at creating my own minimal poster :) We happened to be watching Poirot this afternoon (One of my mum’s favourite shows) and it seemed a good place to start, what with his iconic moustache and whatnot. Here’s what I came up with.

And I got Instagram! So if you fancy you can follow every meal I eat, skyline I see, or face I pull when I'm feeling a bit vain @growingupgracefully :)

kisskissbangbang & photography exams...

So my last photography project o the school year has been handed in. I think now might me a good time to let you guys into my portfolio and see the final product!

The exam question I chose to work under was 'approaches to portraiture' and I worked around the idea of fashion photography (of course). I developed an brand called 'kisskissbangbang' which promotes itself as a vintage inspired clothes shop, similar to shops like Modcloth.

I shot 4 ads, inspired by the photos from H&M campaigns, one for each season...enjoy!

If you like them and want to see more then you can at my facebook page! There's the photos which I loved but didn't quite make the cut as well as others from my portfolio :)

I haven't put these up in order of season, so see if you can guess which is which :P Please give me feedback as I'd love to hear what you think!
