On my travels this weekend I bought some high-market, stupidly-expensive magazines to do layout research. These were; Bizzare Issue 161, artsprojects Issue 134, Dazed and Confused Issue 83, Volume 2 and Creative Review March 2010 (30th anniversary). I wanted to explore their use of magazine layouts when dealing with numerous subjects. So, trusty Post-its at the ready- let's get cracking.
On another note, I've just had a tutorial with Sally where she told me not to get too bogged down with it and, again, to crack on with it. It's a beaut of a day so I'm holding out for a sunset. I'm using Bookman Old Style to create my name with tape (Natasha? Tasha? Tash? Nat?- explore) onto my window, then cropping it into a square and writing my CV, like a border, around the image on A4 using InDesign and Photoshop (using PS to alter and crop the image and InDesign for layout). I want it to come across that I'm experimental, aware of myself and the space around me, that I can use software with confidence and that my work should speak for itself (where the emphasis is on the image rather then the CV border). I've thought a lot about this.
As for Henry? As long as I don't need to use a CD/DVD anytime soon, during the easter break he will be more then likely used for scrap but for now I can work on him. Just. As an extra precaution I've backed up everything on a separate hard drive.
