Chosen song

This is the song that I have chosen to illustrate in to merchandise


I think I will illustrate it in to a note book as the song sujest that someone is boring.
A notebook is used to take down thoughts which fits the song perfectly. I will not be using the whole of the song as I dont think it is needed








Is the Richard Gere gerbil story true?
Who came third in World War II?
Did Sooty sleep with Sue
These things I think about
When I'm out with you
What are the holes in biros for?
Which one's which in The Corrs?
Did Geoff Hurst really score?
Cause frankly you're a bore
And I'm not
And if it's leaving season
You're second on the bill
If you won't leave me baby
I'll find someone who will
I tried love
I'm sorry
I tried love
Does God ever get it wrong?
Where has Gary Barlow gone?
Why is Christmas day so long?
It just goes on and on and on
Like you
And if it's leaving season
You're the second on the bill
If you won't leave me baby
I'll find someone who will
I tried love
I'm sorry
I tried love
I tried love
I'm sorry
I tried loveWhy is there ketchup on my sleeve?
D'you think that Adam fancied Eve?
What if Eve could not conceive?
And he had to breed with Steve
We'd all be gay

cocaroma so far

I am really enjoying this project, i feel I can expand it really far and i think i am up to date with the work.
I have been wanting to create an aroma atmosphere and so far only have a product. With the pattern designs I have made I can am wanting to create a fabric which can be used as many things, eg tapestry, pillows, rugs, bean bags.
I need to print out my package design and make sure it fits and is in the right stock, I am planning on making other packaging as well as tags. I will make a mock up of a website so that people can buy the products online and in sets.

Vogue so far

I think the trip to whitby was a very good idea, I have all my photographs and images drawn. A few things have been a trial and error, I was really hoping my Vogue girls would look good cut out and made self standing with me taking photographs of them, however it didn't go as planned, the images lost detail and i found it really hard to make them self standing without the stand looking bad, I tried to cover the stand with a scarf.
I'm happy I tried this out but I do prefer the images photoshoped as i can make them different sizes and play around with the colours of the background.
I now need to make my magazine by looking at how the real vogue layout is. This needs to be really good or it will not look like it is part of vogue.
 I have ben looking at afew and have noticed how there are a lot of double page spread which I will need to make. The magazine if full of adverts and then pages of imges where to buy clothes from and interviews with people. However Vogue illustrated wont be a magazine with information in it so there will be no writing, it is all about the months illustrator interpretation of the designers collects.
I need to make advertisement for my magazine, and maybe a launch party. I will also need to show how the next few issues could look.

Quote I have found and made


  • When all else fails, take a nap
  • Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate
  • "listen, smile, agree- and then do whatever the hell you were gonna do anyways
  • you can never be over dress or over educated
  • trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go
  • the next cool thing will be being yourself. We're all different so embrase your imperfections
  • Ordinary things done consistently produce extraordinary results
  • someday you just need to improvise
  • Dont raise your voice, improve your argument
  • when life gives you lemons, just add vodka
  • dont let yourself be defined by one profession. do more. do different. create
  • only boring people are bored
  • be yourself and hold your own, people will not always like you anyways
  • Sometime you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory
