The Magazine ID cover design - using the the photography taken on my course.
Below is the idea generating process the students with my guidance went through.

| The team after visiting 'Top Man' to select the clothes they wanted to style for the shoot. |
Menswear is very creative and somewhat neglected in fashion. The girls wanted to develop the trend of 'Geek Chic' further but with a political message, making a point about the generation that is picking up the pieces after the banking crisis mess that has effected economic stability in Europe. Hence the name 'Generation Phoenix', literally rising from the ashes with their cup half full not empty !

The Fashion shoot took place at Granary Road, St Martins using the wide open industrial minimalist space of the new building to give a raw, rough, textured feel to the shoot.
The girls took it in turns to take the photos themselves, each taking a turn at Art Directing and styling....

Guy Bourdin influence here in the clever 'I can ' layout and the spot light improvisation at the end. The students were advised to develop this idea further and show their work to ID magazine and Top Man.
