Advertising I like #3

Watching TV I saw the new M&S Food advert. I loved it straight away. It's an advert I actually enjoy watching. You can always tell when it's an M&S advert because of the quality and effort put into the video. It's strange to compare M&S against Tesco or Morrison, you know the different shops just from a few seconds of advert by how they represent food and the quality of the camera. 

I love how they incorporated slow motion and fast forwarding at the same time. I'm not quite sure how they produced the shots to look both slow and fast at the same time but it's pretty impressive. The food always looks so good in M&S adverts whether you like it or not.  The music is a good choice too because it matches the quality of food as well as makes the sequence of the video flow quite nicely.The colours are bright and bold and it really makes the whole thing appealing.

First monoprint - Identity through print

I had my first ever University workshop. Woohoo! Our project at the moment is looking into our own personal identity. We are using methods of print to help us discover more about ourselves. The first workshop was Monoprint, something I have previous experience with; I wasn't too delighted at the idea. I thought that after my college days that it would be a drag but I used some letter stamps along with the monoprints and actually enjoyed it a lot more than before. I liked mixing the media of stamps and illustrations together. We were only supplied with black and I felt a little restricted by the colour; although colour shouldn't make a difference I am use to doing much more colourful prints. So seeing as I love food, it was the main inspiration as well as Disney!

The 'mmmmm' was actually created with the letter N because I couldn't find an actual M. I just double up two nns to make a lovely m :)
