 I think this business card looks professional and creative and all the important contact details to be able to contact the Company.

This CV looks interesting and appealing but on two of the past job roles it doesn't mention the start and finish dates. It looks very professional because of the way of layout and presented.

I think the layout of the invoice looks too creative because focuses too much on the visual aspects rather than the important information needed to run a business.

I think this contact looks very business like and professional what needs to go in a contract because the designer/ employer needs to know what he/ she is agreeing to.

I think these letterheads look professional and visually interesting because they are easy to recognize.

This business card looks rubbish because it looks very pixielated, you can't always see the writing and the image, it looks very unprofessional.

This business card looks it has too much information on, too many different fronts and the images are too small because of the amount of information on the business card. A good business card should have good spelling and grammar, a clear image, writing and the only thing you need on a business card is your company name, telephone number, email address and website.

National Glass Centre Sunderland

I went to the National Glass Centre in Sunderland with My Mam and my baby Cousin Lucy,  I looked at Glass exhibition called Twice Upon a Time by Richard Meltner. Some of artwork that was made out of glass was very eccentric, weird and unusual, it used a lot of bold, outrageous and vibrant colours and I also think it had a bit of a Burtonesque style to the glass designs, but I loved it and goes well with my chosen concept for gift and fashion design.

Tim Burton Exhibition Prague 2014

I went to the World Tim Exhibition in Prague, Czech Republic in late June 2014 with my Mam and Dad, I thought the exhibition was really interesting, Tim Burton actually created a lot of his own drawings and animations with different media in 2D and 3D for his own films as well as ideas he had that unfortunately never got made into a film such as Little Dead Riding Hood.


I really enjoyed seeing the exhibition in Prague and I could only take photos of outside of the exhibition as I wasn't allowed to take any photographs of any of his work inside the museum. This has inspired my style and choice of colours for my concept for gift and fashion design.

V&A Museum visit July 18th 2014

On July 18th 2014 I went to visit the V&A Museum in London with my Mam to see two different exhibitions that were currently on at the Museum they were the designer Italian fashion from after the Second World war to the present day, I loved the dress that Audrey Hepburn wore during the 1950's in a film, a lot of the dresses and shoes that were designed during the 1950's era by high end Italian fashion designers were stunning and very well made.


The other exhibition I saw at the museum was the wedding dresses from 1775 to the present day some the dresses I saw at the exhibition were very long, there was a wedding dress which was worn by a Queen/Princess/Duchess during either the late 18th century or early 19th century it had a very long trail which was hand made it must have taken many months to make her wedding dress and some of the wedding dresses were unusual such as a wedding dress that had a big hat to go with it I liked that wedding dress whereas my Mam didn't like it.


Because these exhibitions were for members only and were only on for a limited time I wasn't allowed to take any photos of the exhibitions that were going on at the Museum.
