Final Piece

Practice Spray Painting

I had to put double sided sticky tape onto the back of my stencil so that would stick onto my board.

After I had stuck my stencil to the board I had to put on a mask to stop me from inhaling any fumes. After I was ready, i had to hold the spray can 30cm away from the board and do swift movements sided to side to cover the board.

Stencil Problems

I have had a little trouble putting my stencils together, as i have realised when i have a word in a box, I need to build bridges to make sure that the word stays in the stencil instead of just cutting the box out. This means i have to go back over my stencils and make sure that they are right.

Adbusters

Adbusters Media Foundation is a not-for-profit, anti-consumerist organization founded in 1989 by Kalle Lasn and Bill Schmalz inVancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The foundation describes itself as "a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age."

Adbusters is “anti-consumerist": it cites advertising as a central force in creating consumer culture. This position holds that the advertising industry goes to great effort and expense to associate desire and identity with commodities. Adbusters believes that advertising has unjustly "colonized" public, discursive and psychic spaces, by appearing in movies, sports and even schools, so as to permeate modern cultures.^[13] Adbusters' goals include combating the negative effects of advertising and empowering its readers to regain control of culture, encouraging them to ask "Are we consumers and citizens?"

Felt tips on polystyrene

Felt tips didn't work too well on the polystyrene, they didn't sink in, which made it really easy to rub off. I tried using hairspray to stick the felt tip to the polystyrene, this worked, though it initially made the pen drip and run down the cup.

Practice using Acrylic paints on polystyrene

Above are some photo's of me practicing painting on polystyrene. The paint took quite well to the polystyrene, however, it was quite tricky to keep it steady as i was holding the cup in one hand and painting with the other, if i were to use paints then i would have to think of something to use to cut the head on which would rotate round making it easier for me to paint.

Change of Plan.

I've been thinking about my idea, and as i thought it would be hard to find 'plus size' models who would be comfortable in front of the camera. Therefore I have decided to re look at my idea. Now I'm looking at a more fashion photography which could maybe come into some sort of marketing campaign for a magazine.

Cheryl Cole - Highways Across Continents

Cheryl Cole duetted with a hologram of the Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am at the DLD Starnight event in Munich. Having this technology means that Cheryl Cole doesn't have to be with Will.i.am to perform their track together. This saves on money, as Will.i.am didn't have to fly to Germany to perform with Cheryl.

New technology has also meant that Cheryl Cole and Dizzee Rascal didn't have to meet to record their new single. Dizzee told the Independent: "It was like it never happened. I never saw her. They sent me three tracks and i basically picked the one I thought would be best." He continued: "If they just send you the track, you can get it done in your own studio, in your own comfort zone. It should be good. It will be good. It's Cheryl Cole, innit.'

Dizzee Rascal has admitted he has never met Cheryl and he hasn't even heard their duet.
