What gets up your nose?


For my ‘what gets up your nose’ picture I am going to take pictures of traffic.  What I am going to do is take lots of pictures of traffic, then I am going to choose the best picture, I am going to edit it and use that picture.  It gets up my nose when there is loads of traffic when I am in a rush to be somewhere and the lights take ages to change and the traffic is never ending! That’s why I will be taking pictures of traffic because it really gets up my nose. For these images i will be using a nikon l310 camera and i MIGHT use my phone camera which is HD on a samsung galaxy s4 which is the best phone up to date and has the best camera quality.

Duties of being a TV presenter
Television presenters must craft likeable, on-air personas to introduce programs, make public service announcements, appear at newsworthy community events and wrap-up programs for audiences. They also introduce reporters, newscasters, sportscasters and other professionals appearing on a program or show. Many television presenters research and write their own material, often under tight deadlines. At smaller stations, television presenters may also perform off-air, production-related tasks, such as operating the control board, editing footage and logging program schedules. At some stations, presenters interact with the public off-camera, assisting with fundraising and selling advertising.

Job roles.

Fashion designer.
Victoria Beckham.

Victoria Beckham works closely within the design team at Land Rover. 

The responsibilities of being a fashion designer

Creating sketches of design ideas is how a lot of fashion designers begin the creation of their garments. It is at this stage a fashion designer puts their visions into a more tangible format. Experimenting with color combinations and complementary garments and accessories first takes place at this stage. Then, the fashion designer needs to find the right materials to bring her sketches to life. Sewing samples, test garments and eventually the final piece are all part of a fashion designer's duties.
A fashion designer who is more established in the industry is likely to have staff assisting with his duties. This can mean the duty of a fashion designer extends to supervising staff whose role is to sew garments or make patterns. Managing staff means a fashion designer's duties are divided between creating his line and managing people. A fashion designer works hard to create a brand that consumers can recognize. For this reason, marketing the brand or label is just as important as creating it. Some designers may choose to market themselves while others may employ the services of a marketing or advertising agency.


Generally, fashion designers evaluate and anticipate industry trends, define themes for apparel collections, including the selection of fabrics and accessories, compose conceptual sketches for clothing items, use specialized computer programs to create the patterns and construction plans that will guide production of each apparel item, and assist in marketing their designs to apparel retailers and the ultimate consumers.

Their salary
Salaries also vary widely from designer to designer depending on level of education, experience and skills.According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the lowest 10 percent of full-time fashion design salaries, which includes the salaries of starting designers, averaged less than $32,500 annually as of May 2010, while the upper 10 percent earned more than $130,890 per year, and the median salary was $64,530 per year.

Fmp poster.

Here is a poster I made using photoshop. This is a poster advertising my final major project and showing that it will be on during the summer show at Plymouth college of art 2013. I really like this poster I made and the reason for that is because it is bright and colourful and looks very eye catching. It also has some sneaky pictures that have actually been used in my final major project giving a couple of examples of what the slideshow contains!

Here are some poster examples. I will be creating my own poster to publicise my final major project!


I like these posters because they are each different and each advertising different
things. They advertise form being safe and some sort of film/play that is being
advertised in another and getting your voice back in another. These posters are
pretty cool. I like the cross in a safe place one the most because it's about peoples safety!

Artist Statement

Shannon Mitchell, Originally from Manchester, Living in Plymouth and 17 years old.
Shannon is a Plymouth college of Art student. She is currently studying Creative Media Level 2 at college. She really enjoys the course she is on and she loves everyone on her course. According to Shannon, everyone is just so lovely and kind! Shannon loves doing photography and filming. Her favourite projects that she has currently had on her course is her final piece called 'fashion over the years' and she really enjoyed doing her documentary on the 'pressure to be perfect'. Shannon is very impressed with these two pieces of work and she is happy with the way they have turned out.

Shannon doesn't quit easily and she is very motivated on her course that she is currently on at the moment!

Shannon has produced a wonderful final piece. What she done was she took lots of different pictures, edited them and put them all into a slideshow using Premier. Putting the photo's into a slideshow really shows off Shannon's film skills AND photography skills. Shannon came up with her final piece idea herself and she thought of putting her film skills with her photography skills and that was a really good idea!

Shannon is going onto a Tv and film course level 3 in Plymouth college of art. In the future,  Shannon hopes to get into university and study more into taking fashionable pictures and filming and editing things all together and making them look professional.

Artists statement example!


I spent my elementary school years in rural Ohio, in a big pile of animal parts. My best friend’s dad had a VCR with only three VHS tapes, one of which was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was my favorite, and not just because the fictional events took place on the day I was born. There’s a scene in it where one of the nubile victims stumbles into a room strewn with bones—mostly animal—at once terrifying and rustic in the yellow Texas sun. Not to be outdone, my friend and I discovered a boneyard ourselves while roaming a nearby farm, harvesting a few cow skulls that we cleaned with bleach. There was also this fur dealer who lived in a hovel, just past the creek. In our only encounter, I watched this man enthusiastically carve out the heart of a fox and hand it to me. (I had asked for the organ to use in a third-grade science project.) But even that experience didn’t prepare me to find a severed blue eye staring back at me from the mailbox. Lowering the door of the box, I found the milky, apple-sized sphere suspended in a jar of formaldehyde. Turns out this horse eyeball was a gift from our veterinarian, who had already noticed my peculiar predilection. Pressing my memory for other seminal experiences involving animal entrails, I come up empty. But I do remember my friend telling me that his dad had a fourth videotape. Adult cartoons.


Above is an artist statement example by someone called Alfred Steiner but posted by Sarah Schmerler. I am going to write a statement in third person about myself.
