Forgotten Days





















A selection of photographs from a recent project at uni. My collection of greetings cards complete with envelopes and wrapping paper aimed at forgotten days, the times when if like me you are a stationery addict and want an excuse to send a card but its nobodys birthday. They are each complete with lovely little sayings about meeting and catching up (some even with extra treats inside). My personal favourite is the 'lets catch up over coffee' maybe because i am partial to a good brew. I will be sending them off for competition very soon, wish me luck, but if nothing comes of it i think i will start selling and sending them to my lovely friends.




















Deck the Paws Santa Claws

A little late with this but i wanted to share with you the christmas cards i worked on before christmas, and gave to friends and family everywhere. The image on the card is my version of my dogs face, surprising how many people that received a card noticed her on it, she is now famous all over the country. Making greetings cards is a little hobby of mine!

Gangster Squad

 
 
So for my three year anniversary with my boyfriend what better way to celebrate than to see some gory shooting and obviously Ryan Goslings beautiful face. Again yet another brilliant film gets bad reviews, i've come to the conclusion that the good films are often the ones with bad reviews. But for the record, i have nothing but good things to say about this film. Amazing from start to finish, brilliant casting and fantastic cinematography. Based on a true story, set in the glamorous city of Los Angeles in the late 40s, a group of officers and detectives form a squad to take down mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn). Josh Brolin (the good guy) as Sgt. John O'Mara brings together the coolest squad imaginable, i have never wanted to join a squad more. Ryan Gosling, Giovanni Ribisi, Anthony Mackie, Robert Patrick and Michael Pena.
Giovanni Ribisi plays someone who isnt crazy, and does it very well. Ryan Gosling is the coolest man ever, he not only looks unbelievable dressed head to toe in his 40s get up but he's shooting people and bedding the absolute fox that is Emma Stone (again). 

And if all of that wasnt enough, the entertainment at 'Slapsy Maxies' is wearing bananas on her head, singing a very catchy song which is still in my head one week later, while the squad start shooting the place down. 

So good i'm considering seeing it twice, from me a fabulous 5/5, 100%, dont miss it, see you there.

Bonjour mon ami

Hello world, I have finally decided to create my own blog to talk about certain things I am interested in. As a graphic design student there are many blogs out there which have inspired me to share my own thoughts and opinions. I am obsessed with tv and film (a little too much) and all things 60s, I will enjoy sharing my own reviews with you and much more.

Here goes!
