I popped to Bicester Village this evening to have a look for a Grad Ball dress. Unfortunately I had no such luck finding anything, however I did find this beauty in Karen Millen:

I've seen pictures of Nicole Scherzinger wearing this exact dress. Whilst it is a last season dress the cut is classical and I love the bright colours

Passion for Fashion
Despite finishing my placement to focus on my final year exams I still want to keep blogging. So considering the fact that I seem to spend every revision break I have scouring over the likes of the Topshop website I thought what better to do than turn my passion for fashion into a productive pass time. So between cramming for exams I’ve decided to blog about fashion, items I love, style icons, new season must haves, classic staples etc you know the drill. Interspersed between the delights of fashions I do still however, intend to keep you all up to date on my plight to find a job in the marketing industry. I hope you enjoy…

Final day
After three months with Partnerships for Marketing/Bareface Media my placement is over. I’ve had an amazing time and am sad to be leaving. I’d like to say a massive thank you to Edward Van der Kleijn and Simon Morris.

Apologies it has been a few weeks since I last posted but with the end of term looming things have been hectic. It's about time for a post though so here goes...
Simon is developing the Partnerships for Marketing website so I watched him work on it this morning which was really useful. Most of his work was based around HTML coding so I got to pick up a few tips. All the coding was quite daunting at first but while it was quite a fiddly process it was good to see the effects you can create and the new website is looking great.
Today hasn't just been a case of watching and learning though, I also copy wrote work for an affiliate marketing programme in conjunction with the West Midlands Police Force.
This all went on alongside running coverage throughout the day of the races at Cheltenham, with Ed proving himself as quite an expert when it comes to picking the winners!
All in all another good day at the office.

Today I got involved in a new project for one of the agencies big clients. I had to design the concept wire frames and layout for two brochures they required. One was to have a very corporate feel and the other which was to be aimed at at a more retail base was to have a more informal feel. I started off by looking at a number of different magazines to get some ideas of different layouts and see what I thought would work best for the two different flyers. One of the main things I picked up on was the way many magazine articles draw out important points and grab the readers attention to certain parts of the text by enlarging certain quotes within the text or by creating colour blocks to highlight particular points. This is something that I really liked and wanted to transfer into my layouts. I also had to hunt down some appropriate images for the two flyers, which was easier said than done! I wanted images that the clientèle could relate to and that reflected their lifestyles. I knew the images I wanted and it was frustrating not being able to find them, I really wanted to be able to go out and take photos so I could create the image I had in my head. Unfortunately there wasn't the budget for this, so I carried on trawling through images! Finally after some time I hit the jackpot and found what I was looking for. It was actually quite an interesting exercise because it highlighted the importance of images and the way semiotics works.
