I particularly like the sketchy style of the video, flashign up and moving sketch work. Maybe try and incorprite this within my clebrity sketched. I want to make them appear simple, childish, so child like drawn illistartions?

That disgusting orange glow which they all like..

Its true celebrity look to look like oranges, some more than others. So I have looked into the top ten worst celebrity fake tans and what i found what horrific.


Jodie Marsh! Yes, the Ronseal-dipped horror is now officially the number one perpetrator of crimes against skin colour. In a survey conducted by self-tan brand Xen-Tan, a whopping 38 per cent of people voted Jodie number one tanning terror.

The Top Ten, courtesy of Heat magazine:
1. Jodie Marsh
2. Donatella Versace
3. Michelle Scott-Lee
4. Victoria Beckham
5. David Dickinson
6. Jordan
7. Gavin Henson
8. Christina Aguilera
9. Jessica Simpson
10. Simon Cowell

EVEN MEN DO IT, ITS DISGUSTING.

The worst celbrities about there...

I hate to say it, but the celbrity culture has always intressted me! Im not one of these peeple to buy countless numbers of those magazines exposing every single detail about lest say, victoria beckham walked down a road at this time. But i do enjoy a read once in a while, so I have decided to focus my final idea for The best/worst on celbrity culture...but mainly focusing on their worst habbits, there scandles and unfortunes.

For example Parsi Hilton, she is famous simply beacuse her parents did well and are rich, she herself does nothing, never has and undoubtably never will yet the p[ublic have a fascination with her, she as seen a rebellious wildchild by not behaving on what would be expected for an heiress. She is the MOST searched celbrity on google:



Why would anyone care id Paris Hilton had a bunon on her foot?! It is beyond me.

Channel 4's E4

As part of our background research we have been asked to look at E4, the digital free view channel as this is where our convincing proposals for the best/worst programmes will be shown. E4's target audience are young adults, it is seen as a quirky, funny, stylish channel and up to date Whit current affairs and whats hot and what is certainly not. It knows it audience very well is why the channel is so successful as a spin off to channel 4.


This is the current frount page of their website, constantly being updating showing whats the newest shows around, all in its theme/brand colour of dark purple and chunky fonts.



Considering the last brief which we had which was designing a 10 second annimation using Adobe Aftereffects...and tyhis project following on, I can only assue that we will be designing an indent or short advertisment for our chosen programme about the 'top ten worst/best..'. But then again, i may be totally wrong. Here are some examples of past advertisments/ mini indents E4 have used which I like...


New Years Resolutions

This was a very popular choice to focus my best and worse on, and once again seasonal and to new year has only just begun!
I research into what was the most common new year resoltuions and heres what i found:


1. Get out of debt or save money
2. Lose weight
3. Develop a healthy habit (e.g., exercise or healthy eating)
4. Get organized
5. Develop a new skill or talent
6. Spend more time with family and friends
7. Other
8. Work less, play more
9. Break an unhealthy habit (e.g., smoking, alcohol, overeating)
10. Change employment

Examples of a quick list of random peoples new years resolutions.

'Best/Worst'

As this brief was given to us just before christmas,I started to think alng the lines of seasonal themes! These were brainstormed around family, shit presents, extremly awful cracker jokes and there little trinkics, and the overall presuure which christmas creates.




New brief!! Looking to investigate the term/concept of we perceive is..., 'the best/worst...' by collecting resrach, data, images to help influence us.
