4/30/2016 0 Comments Exhibition Print Arrived!My print from Metro Print arrived today!! Got a little nervous to open it up however I had to make the plunge as I needed to make sure everything was alright with it and give myself enough time to get another one if not.
THE PRINT IS AMAZING! My image looks beautiful, I couldn't be more happy with my print however I now want to put two of my images up instead of one. There is no time for that however so I shall be places my portfolio underneath for people to see my other work.

4/25/2016 0 Comments Metro PrintWe recieved some sample prints from Metro Print in London. They gave the students a small bag of samples with the simple C-type papers, while the tutors recieved a box of A4 sample prints for all types of papers which they provide.
I took one of the smaller samples packs and looked over which C-Type paper would be best for me exhibiton print. I spoke to Jack, the head guy of metro print, and Liam bout which paper would be best. After spending a few weeks thinking it over I decided on C-type Gloss, I have onlt ordered one Print for my exhibition as I believe this will have more of an impact than printing more. I am thinking of printing a small A4 sample book for the rest of my images but I am unsure at this moment in time. 4/24/2016 0 Comments SamplesAt the start of my FMP I wanted my images to be for a magazine cover however not all of them would fit very well so instead they are to be used in whatever way possible. I decided to create a couple of samples of how they could be used, please bare in mind that they may not be the best image to have used or be the best of quality.
4/22/2016 0 Comments Job response!For that last few months I have been applying for studio jobs, internships and so on around the country. But so far one only got back to be staying I was a strong candidate. The job is in Manchester, Bury at a place called Sambro, I was very excited to hear back from them however I haven't heard anything since. I am hoping that I will hear something soon as I would love this opportunity.
4/21/2016 0 Comments Blurb...For my portfolio I had looked into perhaps using blurb's magazine as a different way to show off my work, however after realising that only one of my images would be on glossy paper I opted out of this and have just gone with printing my portfolio at Uni. This is also due to the fact that prices are very high for getting 12 A4 c-type gloss paper printed and delivered..
4/16/2016 0 Comments SpicesThis was my last shoot and because of this I wanted to do something a little different that I should have done earlier in the year. I wished I'd of had a better spoon than the ones chosen, however I believe I have make it work to the best of my abilities.
In production I have enhanced the colours of each spice to make them contract each other, I have also cleaned up some of the spots that wasn't suppose to be there. However this editing process did take me two attempts to get the colours the way I wanted them. 4/9/2016 0 Comments CurryThis image didn't take me long to construct however as I wasn't paying enough attention I didn't realise that the spoon wasn't up to scratch. Otherwise this image would have been good, I may still be able to use this image if I am able to dull down the spoon and enhance the curry colour and texture.
In production I wasn't able to dull the spoon down as much as I was hoping but perhaps I can still use the image in my final set. I have also forgotten to record the editing process as there was some curve layers, saturation etc. 4/4/2016 0 Comments Mini Egg Cake - ReshootHere we are again reshoot the mini egg cake, there has been a huge change in the type of cake being used as I couldn't get ahold of the same cake again. However I believe this cake works out better than the last one. I love how the colours are vibrant and it should attract people of all ages but also be used in many different context such as cookbooks, magazines, kids books.. I will be adjusting the colours to make them pop out more and bring some more light into the back of the images.
