Project 5: PowerPoint Presentation Research

PowerPoint Presentation research was done in our group work, to show our tutor and guest photographer what we wanted to get out of our project. The PowerPoint shows research into our designer, photographer and publication, and shows the movement, location and modelling we want out of our final editorial pages.

Research for Project 5: ID Magazine

Fashion, Art & Music

ID Magazine

ID has become a a source of inspiration in the fashion culture. Introducing fashion, music and art to the ID buyers and representing itself in the punk rock culture, the magazine has created a reputation to inspire and promote creativeness.

ID magazine will suit the project because of its influence in the creative arts culture, and how the magazine promotes punk culture as well as Vivienne Westwood and Helmut Newton.

"Punk" is the main word to focus on to tie the designer, publication and photographer together.

Research for Project 5: Helmut Newton

Helmut Newton

Fashion Photographer

Died: 2004

Newton is known for his explicit and "erotically charged" photography. All in Black and White-Newtons fashion photography doesn't hesitate to push the boundaries to promote fashion.

He started his career in Australia, until he got a 12 month contract with British Vogue, then moving onto Australian Vogue and finally French Vogue. He has also worked with Harpers Bazaar, Playboy and other publications.

His work was renowned to be nude and explicit, but his taste in fashion always came through in his work.

Although he is known for his fashion photography, Newton also worked in portraiture, but his iconic style comes through more in his rude photography that shows attitude and confidence in the model.

Research for Project 5: Vivienne Westood

Vivienne Westwood

Born: 1941

Westwood came about creating a new quirkiness to fashion and introducing a new level of punk rock to fashion. The designer pushed the boundaries on what was "usual" and showed her fashion through radial cutting, underwear as outerwear and miss-match fabrics.

In the 70's Westwood met manager of the Sex Pistols; Malcolm Maclaren, and later opened a shop together on London's Kings Road. The shop was known as the height of the punk movement, and it sold clothes in leather, rubber and promoted the peak of the punk culture.

Westwood is one of the mos influential designers, with collections shocking the public with its outrageousness, with themes such as pirates, watches and her 'erotic zones' collection. But as much as her designs are slated for exploitation, her punk rock and re-inventive style is distinctive, and always one that never fails to impress.
