…is spent in the library at LCC. With my mac, and a mocha. Word, Evernote and Safari are my friends. Three weeks to go before the deadline is here, and I have to finish in time before the paper is sent for proofreading next week. At this stage I’m writing up the findings, and I’m glad that the survey and the interview I had with August Media really gave me some new discoveries. To be continued! Meanwhile, I hope you’re enjoying your weekend, maybe with more relaxing activities?

In January I was very lucky to assist my friend Tracy in a photoshoot in Paris. In addition to studying publishing with me, Tracy works as a stylist for Haper’s Bazaar Hong Kong. The photos were taken for the ‘men supplement’ magazine of Harper’s Bazaar that came with the spring/summer issue, but I haven’t got hold of it before now. Finally it has travelled the long way from Hong Kong to London – and is in my hands right now!

Rockabilly Paris!

The photoshoot was done in one day, but divided in two: outdoors photos and studio photos.

This is my favourite spreadsheet from the outdoors photos, makes me want to go to Paris again… It was a bit freezing for the model to pretend it was summer in January, but he managed.

Summer Sensation.

I like the photographers white style and the ‘fading’ photos in the background.

Nice.

And the model is pretty, of course.

Excited to see my byline here, and very thankful for being invited to the capital of beauty!
Good work by photographer Jo Moriyama and the stylist Tracy On.

Which one is your favourite?

The questionnaire answers for my master’s dissertation is about to be analysed. The overall aim of my research is to conduct research exploring the question ‘How can customer publishers can use social media to effectively increase their client’s brand value?’ – and I’ve already collected over 300 responses for the survey.

To all contributors who spent their time answering my survey – A MILLION THANKS TO YOU!

I would never be able to finish my dissertation without you. It’s practically a month left, and it’s about time to look at what you’ve answered and make conclusions on the topic. An exciting time! Today I took a coffee break in Clapham High Street with the survey result safely placed in my bag – intending to try one of the caramel macchiatos at Starbucks. Instead I found a cute little café in the same street, with lots of personality. Nice surroundings – good results? ;-)

Futurising is over for now, and turned out to be two days filled with fun, new contacts and inspiration. The Knack team was distributing Knack Magazine, invited graduates to our video booth for live business card recording and encouraged people to give their employment tips in our pin board. We also had the best team of photojournalists and journalists to attend Futurising talks and report live on our Futurising/Knack blog.

Business cards and badges for everybody!

Our banner!

Thank you for now, Knack team!

(and watch out, our interactive magazine is launched soon!)

Graduates from all over UK are getting ready for the Futurising festival that is taking place 29.–30.6 in Shoreditch, London. The festival is led by LCC on behalf on University of Arts London, and is a one-stop shop of opportunities, advice and information for all future and current creative graduates.
I’m lucky to be involved in one of the activities at the event, called ‘Knack at the Shack’. The project is described like this in the Futurising website:

Knack is placed at the core of Futurising, a two-day festival supporting the career development of students and graduates in the creative fields. Knack invites Futurising attendees to express who they are while participating in the creation of an interactive digital magazine and blog. Participants will have an opportunity to display their talents and contribute ideas and works to a larger audience, and to pick up their free copy of the printed Knack Magazine.

Because I’m Knack’s art director, I’ve been responsible of designing Knack Magazine and all the event material. I’ve also been involved in ideas and planning for the whole Knack project.

The magazine is already sent to print, and we are excited to get it back!
