Self Initiated

  
  I am just starting one of my Self initiated projects and as I have an amazing opportunity to have tutorials with Hainsley Brown (yes, the amazingly talented Hainsley Brown!) I have decided to make it a photographic project, which takes me to my FMP from the 1st year..

  'Don't Judge a Book by its Cover' came from researching the different Appearances of European People. As I come from Poland myself, I found it very interesting how people can recognise where someone is from just by looking at them. Therefore, I have investigated it further using questionnaires mostly. The end result is a book with different stereotypes of five Nationalities defined in the text. I have also added photographs of people

to make it more interesting. The idea of it is to get people to guess what Nationality each one is and revealing is slightly to them, which then makes us question if we can in fact trust stereotypes.

John Lewis Christmas Advert

Absolutely adorable, and love the little twist at the end.. I get goosebumps every time I watch it.
I still find it amazing how kids can act like this!

Tiesto's Official Music Video made by fans

 So excited for Tiestos new video which is finally out and is made by his fans with their mobile phones during the Kaleidoscope Tour, which thanks to my amazing friend I can say I was a part of as she got us tickets to his London show for my birthday (what an amazing birthday present?!) I've been wanting to see him for years but had to wait till I was 18 which was just painfull. You can see some of my videos here.

Ps. hope everyones having a great day (with the 29C outside!)

Sunny!

 I love everything about this video. 

The music is genius and I wish I could be running around the beach now in such beautiful clothes,

I love every single outfit!

Portugal

Forgot how incredible Portugal is. 

I was looking through all my pictures from that holiday and.. wow! it's so beautiful and I really want to go back there! Also, I've been pretty shit with keeping up with my blog as there was so much going on recently, like going Hollywood!!! Was absolutely AMAZING! (I will add some pictures soon !) and I will try to be a bit more up to date. 

Ciao!  

Ps. I LOVE TRAVELLING AND I WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE WORLD!
Oh! and if you want one inspiration for travelling make sure you see one of my favourite movies recently 'EAT, PRAY, LOVE'! It makes me want to travel even more.

EXHIBITIONISTS - Our Installation

 This is what the final outcome of our installation looked like during the show/exhibition, the only sad thing was having to take it down early morning next day and i wish i had the chance to take more pictures!!

Getting ready for the Show

 Yesterday was the day of our show/exhibition, which was such a good one and if you didn't manage to come - shame on you! You've missed a hell of a show! Anyway, I've uploaded some pictures from when we were setting our installation up, we chose to exhibit our Stalker piece, which was one of our Self Initiated projects Click here if you haven't seen it. 

I must admit setting it up was crazy and a lot of work, especially that everything and I literally, mean everything kept going wrong - from hanging stuff up (the brick wall didn't let us stick anything to it) so we had to get a massive piece of fabric and drill it and nail it in the wall (the brick wall really didn't like the drill or the nails either) and then stick everything onto the fabric. We also lost faith in having a desk as Argos decided to take absolutely forever to deliver it - but that was just yesterday, not mentioning the day before which wasn't going any better either! One example - travelling about 2hours to the other side of London to find that the tv we were meant to use for the exhibition didn't work properly so travelled another 2hours back without a tv, result - at least 5hours of the day lost. Thankfully after really long two days we managed to finish all of it on time, well maybe few minutes later but it was all good! It was definitely a crazy journey with a large amount of travelling and stress but it was worth it and the outcome was pretty good!

Btw. I am definitely impressed with my drilling skills!

London Underwater by 2100

 It has been predicted if global warming continues at its rate, by 2100 parts of London will be under water. We wanted to communicate the effect this could have on typography by using water-soluble paper and oil based paints to demonstrate that when the paper dissolves, all will be left is random letter floating freely. 

I want this living room. But most importantly, I WANT THIS PICTURE CANVAS.
