Tilly Beveridge Fashion

To tackle task two of my computer in arts and design project I had to look at creating a fashion magazine which is original and incorporates a range of different skills I have looked at throughout the year. I started by looking at designing a fashion magazine to help me explore the look I would follow throughout the rest of the magazine. Something I thought would be beneficial prior to designing was to look at successful magazine covers and pick out key elements and analyze what I like about them. I tried to look at a range of magazines all of which have a different attachment to me. I looked at a magazine cover I actually own and discussed what it was that captured my attention, a magazine cover I would look at and gravitate towards, and a magazine that isn't my usual read however I would give it a go due to its look.  After doing some research I definitely got a sense of the style of the magazine I was drawn too. Simplistic and colorful magazines are something I particularly like...

With the constantly changing fast fashion of the 21 st century, it’s hard to pick a defined style that you like, when what’s trendy changes each week. As much as I like to feel comfortable in my clothes, I also like to consider myself as an experimental person, when it comes to fashion. Thanks to the likes of social media and high street fashion, there are hundreds of styles for me to choose from. Some of the most popular this year being the “vsco” style - where pastel colours come to play - and “insta baddie” style, where bold, neon colours take centre stage. This was tricky for me as my previous wardrobe consisted purely of neutral colours with a few different washes of denim to accompany them in my casual college outfits. It wasn’t that I was scared of colour, just that white was my favourite, and I love a versatile outfit so I strayed away from any bold patterns or colours. But I have been more open to the idea of adding colour and have produced this simple structure to help ease ...

Something I've wanted to do for a long time is branch out with my skill and knowledge of adobe software. So, to begin with, I looked at adobe illustrator, my knowledge of this software was very limited so I wanted to document what I learned here on my blog! To begin with, you have to understand the idea that there are two graphic types; Pixel and Vector.  Pixel, also know as raster or bitmap, is a graphic type that is made up of individually coloured pixels. this is the most common form of graphic type you will find. When you take a photo using a digital camera you are creating a bitmap graphic, this is useful as you can edit each individual pixel. The problem is that when you resize a bitmap image, you can begin to lose fidelity and the image can become blurry or pixelated.  Vector graphics are a graphical representation of mathematical equations referred to as 'objects' and does not use pixels. Vectors are created in software such as adobe illustrator and ...

Something we have been looking at in my recent computer in art and design class is social media branding and how it can help businesses. The power of social media can benefit a small and growing business in a number of positive ways, it can help by: driving traffic to a businesses website improving your SEO (search engine optimization) allowing you to engage with your community and audience strengthing customers relationships with that brand and lastly, keeping pace with the competition for free But, with a range of different options on which social media platform you can use, it’s hard to understand which platform would be best for you and your purpose. Being a young adult in the 21st century, it’s hard to establish which platforms I should be on and actively using to help boost my career and fulfil my love for social media. I wanted to use this post to breakdown some of the popular sites and how they could benefit a business: Twitter  can be...
