Heroes and Heroines Exhibition

I recently visited the Heroes and Heroines exhibition at the Leeds City Museum in Millennium Square. I was really surprised at the amount of stunning and iconic costume collections on display and the information throughout the exhibition has been useful for many modules of my Fashion Communication course. I initially visited the exhibition for my Fashion Reading and Writing module and created a news story which I had to edit down to 300 words (Link to my news story)

New tricks...Not so easy!!

The first part of my assessment was to exactly recreate a chosen magazine article.
I used Photoshop and Indesign to create this however, it was much more difficult than I had expected. I found it quite difficult getting the correct font used in the article; I found a website called http://www.whatthefont.com/ which allows you to upload an example and then they find the nearest match in their database. This was helpful but unless you have to purchase the font to use it therefore I had to use the closest font that was available on Indesign. Here is how I got on...(exact article)

The second part of the assessment was to individualise the article. I chose to focus on a recurring theme in the article which was the idea of taking risks, pushing the boundaries and juxtaposing new, fresh ideas with old, reputable values. I did this by using a lot of negative effects, I thought this would be a good portrayal of the juxtaposition and how Marc Jacobs risked a negative outcome to establish and create something 'new and young.' My final individualised article is presented here...(individual article)
