INTRODUCTION.

My idea for my extended project is to create an advert for some sort of cosmetics, this would mean that i would have to get permission from the owners of the brand to be able to advertise it. My idea was to do a photo-shoot as well as making the actual advert, i was also thinking that i could make a magazine ad to promote my chosen product further. However problems could come about with this idea as it will be hard for me to find a company willing to let me advertise their products.

DEVELOPMENT

My work has developed through research of editorial and cosmetics photo-shoots also i have looked at different adverts for different types of cosmetics such as hair products and make-up. This has given

me a lot of inspiration for my extended project, as it has shown me how to present my ideas in a clear and bold way and how to make sure any of my photos or commercial are advertising the right element. I have also looked in to brands such as gosh and barry m and am thinking about advertising their products, i will have to email them to get confirmation. However if this does not go to the plan

then i will have to think about looking at smaller cosmetic brands. Throughout my research i have came across the book “ The Fashion Photography Course”, i think this will come as a big use to me as

it has loads of tips on how to edit photos on photoshop to make them look a higher quality, for an example it tells you how to give someone a “natural glow” which i think ties in well with the type

industry cosmetics comes in to.

WHERE MY PROJECT IS NOW.

At the moment i am looking in to the more photography side to my project and thinking about who i could use for my models, i have also been taking some test photographs to see how i could

show different elements of cosmetics, for an example if i was advertising lipstick i could have someone with a natural make up on however they would have a bright colored lipstick on in

which all the attention would be on the product as it would be bold and stand out.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NEXT.

My next move is to get in contact with several cosmetic companies and see what they think of my ideas and whether they will be happy to give me permission to advertise there products, however if it come down to it and none of the companies give me permission to go ahead with my plans for my extended project i will have to think about making my own brand. I also am planing to look more in to the advertising world as i need to get some ideas for my advert and see what sort of

things are said in the adverts, i also will have to think about location and how i am going to illustrate my product in my advert.
