OUGD603 - Creative Convos Day 2

Chris Moorby

Today's talk with Chris showed us how to professionally present work using photography and photoshop techniques. This was useful for some of my past projects that I feel might be valuable for my portfolio as the change in background colour or pattern can make it look new. This could also prove useful in the weeks to come when putting together portfolios and photographing work for interviews.

 Looking at the Commission Studios website also showed examples of how to present the work using photographs and relevant layout. As a result of this we then created mood boards based on what inspires our own portfolios or how we would like it to be presented.

Some websites that are relevant to my practice are Maniere De Voir and Lost Soles, as they are both clothing brands based in the UK. Maniere De Voir, based in Manchester uses photography and a bespoke aesthetic to promote their clothing lines. Lost Soles, based in Liverpool also uses photography and areas of the city as backdrops for the clothing shoots. This gave me the idea to try this with my own clothing brand in future, with more attention to background aesthetic and colour schemes on the website.
