NEW FMP LONGBRIDGE BLOG

THIS IS MY NEW BLOG

LONGBRIDGE_

Finally moving onto my FMP. Had my eureka moment on what to do. I am creating a book/film about my family life and the surround area of Longbridge. I intend to document every day life on my daily travels.

I dont want any of these photos staged, quick snapshots of things i find interesting.

Here are some double page spreads that i have started, these aren't final as i still have markers to add etc.

As this project is very heavily photography based I have started a collection to try and get as many different cameras as i can.

Trying to use a lot of film photography in this project.

These are some of the cameras i bought, Lomography digitals with expired film in them.

The photos are currently being developed, so i will post some of the outcomes when i get them.

MAGAZINE STYLEGUIDE_

Idea was to create a "perfect" magazine that we would like to produce. As i'd recently went on an urban exploration i decided to put some of the photos to good use and create a sort of photography book/guide.

This is the style guide created. Its made in a way that i could give this styleguide to someone and they could create the magazine for me? if thats the right way of putting it?

RECORD COMPANY STYLEGUIDE_

This is a brief set to make a theoretical record company. We hadto create a name and logo and then a style guide displaying 3 album covers.

Indie, Hip hop and Dance.

Here is the brief style guide I created for heinous records.

HOMAGE_2

Went out and did a spot of urban exploring in my 2 hour break at college, took some photos on a shit digicam so the quality isnt the best. I had a go at doing some editing on the photos and some of them have turned out really nice. So im thinking about making myself a cool little zine.

HOMAGE_

New brief for photography based on the word homage. Basically we need to go out and photograph something that we pay homage to and portray time in the photos.

I chose industry, so for starters i went and took some photos local to me at the rover factory. These were just initial ideas, I intend to go back out with a half decent camera next time and get the snaps that i need.

FASHION_

A week long brief we got given to film and edit a video based around something related to fashion. We all got paired up in groups with the fashion students to collaborate. At times this was pretty annoying as we all had different ideas and styles that we wanted to use.

In the end we stuck with a military theme. Looking at constructivist and protest art i came up with a limited colour design that replicated that of the protest art.

Mixing the footage we filmed, with real life war footage the group came up with the different scenes which we then merged together.

Here is the final outcome.

FUCK THE 47_

These are spreads from my zine titled "fuck the 47" which basically depicts the hatred towards the bus that i haveto travel on to and from college most days. Tried to go for some simple layouts, using a colour scheme for each day, which came about from those ridiculous name titled socks that you can buy. Overall i think it turned out pretty successful, just want to get it all printed nicely.

Need to upload the front cover.
