Summer Project

Where I want to be in 5 years time... my mood board and interviewing my peers.

This was my mood board that I created during the summer holidays before starting my course Make up and hair design at Southampton Solent University in September 2014. I our given brief was to create and mood board which expresses and portrays where we want to be in 5 years time, what job we want to be doing and who do we want to be working. I produced a collaged mood board which had a variety of magazines photos sourced from Vogue, Miss Vogue,company and Style by River Island. I also included internet photos which was sourced from Google that were Broadway shows. My dream career is to be working for a high fashion brand weather its doing the make up on the models behind scenes on a runway show or fashion week or doing the make up ready for a double page spread in Vogue. Another career path I would enjoy doing would be working on  film sets creating elaborate make up designs such styles as Hunger Games, Black swan ect.. This type of make up is unique and fun to create and I would love to work on film sets with professional actors and models. My inspiration to follow my dream is within myself and its purely where I want to be in life. However i'm also influenced by the well known Pat McGrath who has been called the most influential make-up artist in the world by Vogue magazine and has years of knowledge and industry experience.

This mood board was designed and created by my peer Megan Owen. Megan started with creating a large planet earth with planes circling the globe and images of make up charts and designs which represents travelling with the dream of being a make up artist. Megans inspiration was from Karla Powell and Guildal Hall who is an commercial make up artist- these people influenced and inspired her to create this mood board. Megans research was sourced from the internet, the images came from a variety of site which was linked through google. Megans personal thought of the outcome of her mood board was she was happy with her design however she felt like she could of done better and maybe added more photos to represent who she wants to be more.
