Say Fromage



Say Fromage is a digital photobooth where people can take a picture by using a shutter release button, surrounded by a curtain for privacy.

My friend Shaz and i went to the Design Grotto where there were a variety of artists and designers selling some of their work. We got our picture taken from Say Fromage and was placed on their website! Not bad eh!!!

Will it turn out to become a Uniclan?



Uniqlo have just opened their new flagship store in Oxford Street. Stars such a Dizzee Rascal and Nicolas Hoult (actor from Skins) were a few to mention at the exclusive celebrity marketing Campaign to help Uniqlo reposition themselves and create brand awareness around London.I have always been a big fan of Uniqlo, ever since there store opened in Regent St, i have always liked the minimal, Gap eske, yet very Japanese with an element of clean, streamlined and simplicity. The clothes are made by the latest tech fabrics, which i had no clue until i was reading an article from their promotional magazine.The fact that they have been doing a vast amount for their campaign, its absolutely great, I love Uniqlo and i have felt like this for a few years, my apprehension with this, is that it will be a very well known brand, with more customers. A clan could be formed, very similar to the Topshop clan, everyone wearing the same clothes e.g. Oh where did you get you top from ......oh let me guess Topshop?Thats fashion i suppose, for me its hard trying to create an identity of your own!

Music/Fashion creativity


I would say i am an ecclectic person when it comes to music. i love absolutely everyhting: R'nB', Soul, Funk, Jazz, Neo Soul, Electro, Drum 'n' Base you name it! There are a couple of artists at the moment which i feel have created a brand (good package) of themselves in style, art, fashion they are true creatives and i take my hat off to them because i feel its all about expression and becoming a visionary. Artists such a Bjork, Roisin Murphy, kanye west, Pharelle Williams just to name a few are people that can create and therefore express their style within their music and fashion. it's brilliant to see and has given me more of a push to also continue to express my self in what i do as only i know what i like and only i can show myself the way i want to, espeacially being a creative!
