Is it the end? .....

Well I have come to the end of the project but is it the end of the blog?
The first thought of this blog project was a lot of uming and ering whether I would get the hang of it or enjoy it.
I found the use of the blog good to get your images seen or your views across and to have discussions about ideas and images.
I will keep the blog going and start again new ideas.

Blogs ...

Comparing different free blog sites to blogger.

MyBlogSite

MyBlogSite seems to be more for authors and journalists as they advertise more for that industry, to be used to jot down any ideas and inspirations people who use the site may have.
This blog site does have the same features as Blogger and works in a similar way.
Very easy to use and laid out easily like Blogger.

WordPress

WordPress looks as though it is more targeted to business type people as it seems more professional, seems like you should add some charts to it at first glimpse.
Looking at others blog there is a variety of different people using such as a couple I were completely different as one was about celebrity red carpet dresses and another was all about her dog and the travels with very poor spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Blog.com

Blog says it let's you show off your portfolio, writing skills or just for people to blog between friends to see how everything is going, which is the same as any other blogs you look at.

Out of all the blogs Blogger seems the easiest to use, as it looks more user friendly and not so business like and intimidating.

Bela Borsodi

Welll .... hmmmm .... not sure what to say about Borsodi's work really, it is quite unusual and weird. Does make you draw your eye to the image but with the nude's in the shoes draws your attention away from the main subject the shoes.
This is not the route I will be heading down and I am getting away from the photoshop area of manipulation of two images of just more natural ways.

Research ...

Terry Ryan

Terry Ryan photographs many things not just shoes, which he photographs for clients such as Next Retail.
The way in which Terry has photographed some of his is the direction I am heading down with the shoes in the main focus but where the shoes may be worn and what for in the background.

Red Bubble

Red Bubble is a site of various photographers. The tattiness of the shoes and what they are really worn for shows exactly in these two images I have taken from Red Bubble.

Playing around in the sun ...

So the sun was shining and I was on my own ..... So I thought I would go out in the garden and just play around with taking images of shoes in location. Yes they are my own feet .... Not the most easiest thing to photograph by your self.

After a discussion on the way I should present my images in the book, square was the way forward.

Start shooting!

So I have started shooting for my project of shoes, just started by shooting in the studio on a plain yellow background which I feel makes the shoes stand out.
Have a look ......

I will be going out and about taking more images, not in the studio but out on location shooting people in their surroundings in which the shoes would be worn or with objects to show what the shoes are worn for.

Illustrator

Made some new posters, just of my own images using illustrator.

Did find illustrator a bit hard to use but is easy to get on with once you managed to work things out.

Colours!!

Ok I am unsure whether the way the writing is meant to be but here are some changes with colours. There is a lime one =]

Bold lettering .....

What you think?? ...

Constructive Criticism ...

After a class discussion about my poster idea a few points were made to make the layout better. So this is the final outcome of taking the constructive criticism .......

So what you think? ....
Anything else you think may look good? ...

Exhibition poster idea ....

The images are mine as I haven't got anyones images and it does need to be played about with, it is just a quick roughly done layout so what do people think???? .....
