Blogs to Follow

The fasion industry is a very appealing world to me. I love seeing the different trends, colors, and styles that come out each season. Some day I hope to be coordinating press work or fashion shows for either a magazine company or fashion designer. This semester we must follow a few blogs in the industry that we want to get into. My first is called
The Fashion Rag. It covers and discusses the different fashion trends, designers, shows, events and news in New York and Los Angeles. It also has links for fashion sites and blogs. The other blog in which I will be following is
PR Couture. It is a Fashion PR site that sends out daily emails of current blogs, job postings, interviews, and other fashion blogs.

Header


Last week I started working on a header, today I finished it. Don't know why I picked tequila, but I think it sounded good at the moment. I should open up a bar and have Tequila Tuesday specials. That would be brilliant. But for this exercise I got to learn more about photoshop an how to use layers and shading. I thought it was pretty easy.

Super Bowl

So this past Sunday was the Super Bowl. Normally I don't watch it because I always have to work, but this year I was able to. The game was actually pretty boring, up until the last quarter, and to say the least, the commercials were pretty bad as well. There were a few good ones, like the Audi "Godfather" and Doritos "Mouse Trap." But I feel that in past years, they have been better and for paying several million dollars, you would think that there would have been better ideas.

San Fran Photoshop


So this is the second photoshop experience. It's an old school photo with the golden gate bridge in the back ground. I learned how to save files in TIFF, cropping, and knowing different layers.
