I'm a dummy...

Worked on the magazine dummy tonight. Loved doing the layout design and putting shit together. It was like playing puzzle made of fashion pieces.

Still got a lot to work on, but I'm trying to keep positive.

The big bad world of publishing - and it's only just getting the book

It's been a while since I updated this blog.

Just thought I'd let the whole world know that I'm now officially obsessed with the industry of magazine publishing. And so I bought this little gem...



To further prove my point that I did everything to get my summery-coloured paws on them, let me tell you the story of how I got it. It wasn't the simple process of getting into the shop, plucking the book off the shelf and taking it to the cashier to pay for it. It was a rather long-winded experience of searching the book on the Net, reading up the reviews and deciding that it was worth every cent, then going down to the local bookshops (not one but three shops) to search for it and have the sales assistant ordering the book in for me. Then there was the whole thing of mistaking a missed call for a call from the bookshop to let me know that the book had come in, then I came in to ask for it before the sales assistant said the book had not, in fact, come in.

But eventually the book was delivered to the bookshop, I got a call from them and I picked it up. I'm thinking of covering it with some kind of plastic cover so it's not damaged.

Ah~ am I obsessed? I don't care. I love it.

It's out!

Anyway, onto a happier note...The newest Majalah Qita is out since last week, and it's featuring the very successful fashion shoot that we did last month. I'm so glad it turned out well; everyone who was involved in this issue should be proud of themselves!

Beach days

We went for some phototaking at Brighton Beach and St Kilda on Friday. It was a good change of scene and it was a really nice and sunny day.

This is my new favourite Lipton tea drink. Two guys from Nova were handing these out for free when we just got to St Kilda.

I love the clouds on this one. Too bad they were better from this side, instead of the other side where the statue is facing the camera.

These sweeties greeted us when we'd just arrived in Brighton. They were waiting and ready to pose!

Golly

Yeeeeeaaaassssss~~~

After much sweat and blood and tears and more sweat, I finally submitted all the articles for Majalah Qita. Now we're just waiting for it to get published. I'm very, very excited to see how this fashion issue will turn out.

I'm thinking to throw a party when the magazine comes out; some kind of a launch party and celebrate.

Next on my to-do list: make the invite to my birthday drinks.

Strike a pose

So onto the more positive update. We had the magazine photoshoot today!

It was a great day, and I loved every minute of it.

The photos turned out so well; I can't wait till I see them published. And the models were nice and gorgeous too. It was great fun; great work, everyone!

Location, location

So I finally finished the school project and today we went location hunting for the magazine's fashion photoshoot next week. We went to the area around Brunswick Station and found some nice spots.

Okay, maybe they're not fantastic spots but they might go very well as the background for the clothes. I can imagine the models being photographed against that wire fence.

Note to self: never go location hunting with kitten heels.
