LACE

Today after uni, I went to see my friend Michelle, who were showing a collection at an event called LACE (London Africa Cultural Event)! It was a cool show, although I felt that sometimes the choreography was a bit too much and too dragged out. 

Theme boards

To be able to start develop our designs, we spent class yesterday creating theme boards. Believe it or not, but we actually spent the entire class, 6 hours, on three boards. When putting together a theme board you have to consider images and layout very carefully, so you have to spend a lot of time on each board. 

The tutor gave us some directions; the first board had to contain three square- or rectangle shaped images, the second one could have a maximum of five images in any shape creating one image together, and the third had to take inspiration from an image found in a graphic design book and also had to have words on it.

I ended up with these (photos taken with my phones camera):

Not a Sunday roast

I met up with Ivy and Nelson today! The plan was to go for a Sunday roast, however we soon noticed that every place we found was completely booked for the entire day (of course), so we ended up going to a Vietnamese restaurant instead. It was still a nice way to spend a Sunday, even though we didn't get the roast, and now we know that next time we should probably book in advance :)

My new skin remedy: Latex

I played around with liquid latex today, to try to get some inspiration for my project I guess. This type of liquid latex is meant to be painted on the body, so I figured it would be fun to paint my face with it. With some help from my friend Sannie, it was turned into a pretty cool photo shoot!
