Goodie Box - Nail Foils
Sales of nail vanish increased as the recession began as women found it a cheap way to make themselves feel better and prettier. Nail Foils have become the latest beauty fad. This quick and simple way of having amazing nails has taken shops by storm. A huge brand of this is WAH Nails. Their crazy designs are very popular and I’ve chosen this brand as one of my sponsors as I think their...
LipStick Packaging
After looking at a range of makeup packaging I thought what I would like to receive myself and what attracts me when I buy makeup. I’d go for something quite simple and pretty rather than loud and garish.
I’ve mocked up a range of designs for the packaging and I think the second lot work much better . They still stick to my “summer of love” theme but are abit more...
Goodie Box - Lipstick
So I’ve been storing all this up for quite a while and I thought it was about time I put it out there.
I’m designing a lipstick to be put in my goodie box. Since one of the sponsors of the store opening is MAC makeup, the idea is that LOVE and MAC have collaborated to release this one off lipstick that will only be given to VIP’s who will receive the box.
I’m a makeup...
LookBooks
I’ve decided to create a few lookbooks for my store to give people an idea of what’s in it. As I’m not a photographer or fashion stylist (even though my style is fabulous) I decided to use some of my friends who do have these skills to help me out. They’ve allowed me to use some of their own photos for their projects for myself.
I plan on using these photos and creating a...

IKEA KNÄPPA
Yesterday I attended a VIP sneak preview of the new IKEA PS designer furniture line in Malmö, Sweden. I was not the slightest bit interested in the designer furniture. I was there for one reason, to play with and acquire the new IKEA KNÄPPA, the cardboard camera.
The event…
I REALLY want one of these. Great review of it.
Invitation Tweaks
So I’ve spent much longer than I thought I would on my VIP invitation and I’ve tweaked it so many times. And after much more tweaking, I’ve designed a few more versions so they’re a lot brighter and more striking.
Degree Show 2022NQ
Tash and Gary have finally found us a place for our final degree show that will be from Monday 18th June until Thursday 21st June. 2022NQ is a gallery space in Manchester’s Northern Quarter we can have for free which is amazing. Even better that it as a bar! In our meeting the other day it was said that if you dont want to display anything, then you dont have to- BUT you’d be crazy not...
Summer Internship
I’m very happy to say that I’ve got a summer internship down in London for 2 months which is paid. I’m not too sure if I’m allowed to say who its with so I’ll just say “BLANK” instead of the name.
This is something I’ve always wanted to do as if combines lots of my interesting together such as fashion, technology and layouts. BLANK is a huge...
Tutorial with Lee
Yesterdays tutorial with Lee went quite well seeing as he hadn’t really seen my work for a long time. He gave me some advice on my invitation for the final little tweaks so it has a bigger impact when opening it. He also gave me some ideas about how to push my outcomes a little bit more in the way of digital media such as Ipad magazine advertising.
I’ve still got a lot to do but...
Pop-Up Workshop with Hannah
On Monday we had a lovely workshop with Hannah learning how to create pop-ups. They were always my favourite type of books as a kid because you could interact with them. Everything we learnt was fairly simple but you just had to get the angles and folds right so it would pop-up properly. After we had learnt a series of folds and different techniques, we put them all together to create a little...
GlossyBox
A friend of mine told me about GlossyBox. Its a service you subscribe to where you are sent a range of miniature products in a box every month to test and review for £10. The products come in a beautiful box that’s designed to fit through your letter box so you dont have to wait in for the postman to deliver it.
The packaging has been very cleverly designed with an outer box made from...

Alcohol for the Goodbag/Box
So one of the ideas I had to put in my goody box/bag was an mini alcoholic drink. I thought about having a little bottle of Moet or maybe a bottle of a cocktail. Then I thought what better than a mini bottle of Alsolut Vodka.
Absolut are know for their limited edition bottles which are very beautiful looking. So I could design my very own Absolut mini bottle specially designed for the LOVE...
Friday 27th April Tutorial
So after my tutorial on friday with Tash, she realised that I’m going from 1 thing together and not really completely anything fully. So after writing my list of stuff I need to do, Im aiming to produce a invitation bag/box that would be like a good bag that you get a launch parties and fashion shows. These bags usually contain lots of lovely free things for the attendees which are usually...
