PROMO & MARKETING - RED RIDING HOOD

As part of my promotion and marketing unit, I had to create some business

cards to promote myself and my final major project.

The best way for me to do this was to do two quick sketches of my two outfits

and put them on the business card itself.

Below is an image of the two quick sketches.

Below is an image of the wolf sketch and stages at which I was drawing it.

Below is an image of two different business cards (front and back view) that I created.

I liked both so decided to use both of them.

OUTFIT 2 - RED RIDING HOOD

MY CORSET PHOTOSHOOT

My corset that I styled and photographed myself, with my friend Rachel modelling :)

I styled the corset with an old mosquito net that I burnt,

ripped and hand stitched in place to give different layers.

MY CORSET FINISHED

Now you can all see why I haven't posted properly lately; I've been busy creating this corset!

Finally it's finished :)

Photoshoot to follow!

TURNING JAPANESE
