Reflecting - Fashion Photography Through The Years

Some of the work throughout this year that I have enjoyed has been some of the most improved projects. Intending to improve my editorial skills and illustration skills I feel that I have been able to do so. Taking influence from various artists and designers I feel like my work shows a broad range of styles, never restricting myself to one thing. 

This brief was one of my longer briefs as it required a large body of research in order to create the final publication, as it was an extension from Cop, I had already considered the concept. The finished publication shows a showcase coffee table style book that documents the transition in fashion photography. This concept has clearly been communicated through the use of layout design and print, I feel that the brief has fulfilled what I intended to create.

The research in the initial stages of this project has become irrelevant to the final publication itself, however this shows the extensive development of research and ideas that I have gone through in order to complete my final publication.

The physical publication displays a minimalistic style of design, with a simple colour scheme, the publication communicates sophistication through the use of simplistic layout and striking images, the photography included speaks for itself, the impact that the individual phots have is important. I feel that this publication successfully informs the reader of how styling within fashion photography has changed and it visually communicates the transition through that I have selected.

Overall I am pleased with the outcome of the publication, I feel that I have successfully completed the brief to its full potential, and as an extension of cop, it allows me to focus more on the rules of layout and how I can apply these to my own practice.
