I had a couple of looks in mind for my shoots, and since my makeup artist couldn't make my first shoot and I have to do it myself I thought I'd practise a few looks! I think I'll go with the smokey/messy eye and brown lip for this shoot as it's a street shoot and …
Research?
I saw these people out protesting on my way to uni and quickly snapped a pic as it reminded me of my project! Using handmade signs to send a message!
Reccy
I went a walk with the photographer around locations we thought would make good shots for my first shoot, here's some examples!
Shoots
For my shoots, I want to have a punk aesthetic for all of them, but in different settings and with different models. I want to do one on location in a lower class area, in the studio with more of a focus on make-up and styling, and then one in a student-y looking house. I …
Potential Collabs
I've been told to collaborate with others for this project, and although it's something I greatly struggle with due to my mental health, and I'd much rather do it all myself, I really want to push myself. So here's a list of people I've found over social media that I plan to ask to collaborate …

Whether that's because they don't understand it or they don't realise how important it …
Punk Zines 2
I've decided I'm definitely going to take elements from punk zines for my own zine design, but instead of the classic black and white, make it quite colourful. I love the collage-y, messy look to them as I think it's reminiscent of protest and people of any class coming together for a common cause. Here …
Art & Agenda Examples
Below are some of my favourite artists from a book I found focussing on art activism: LISA ANNE AUERBACH: I love how she's taken something so traditionally feminine and turned it into this strong feminist statement. BLUE NOSES GROUP: I like this artist because he used photography in a kind of inappropriate shocking way that …

Punk Zines
PUNK ZINE: "A punk zine is a zine related to the punk subculture and hardcore punk music genre. Often primitively or casually produced, they feature punk literature, such as social commentary, punk poetry, news, gossip, music reviews and articles about punk rock bands or regional punk scenes." I wanted to look into punk zines as …
