a different kind of fish-market
dear jenn,
i thought you'd get a kick out of this. below is an image that i did recently for my graphic design class. the assignment was to take current magazine and market it to a different audience. we had to keep the name of the magazine and the number of bullets on the cover. i took Powder - a skiing magazine - and marketed it to 18th century powder wig wearers and here's the result:
i know you'd ask about the girl - that's film actress Fay Wray best known for her parts in the original King Kong(1933) and The Mystery of the Wax Museum(1933) - in both of which she played the leading lady. i believe this picture is from the wax museum where she is dressed as Marie Antoinette.
thanks for the help in developing my image-sense.
love,
mysfit

Hopefully Fence will forgive me - that is pretty cunning.
Also... how about writing the cover stories for the ?
Chaos Journals. Blogger is bizarre.
thanks, anne! oh right, well, as you can tell i haven't been writing much... maybe, uhem hmmm...
yes - yes it is. i don't quite understand how you linked the site to the time posting thingy, but neat trick.
Love it Mysfit, that's fantastic! Looks like a vintage cover for Gothic Beauty Magazine.
Beats me. Blogger did it, all the while eating the title of my link, although it worked in the preview. Whatever...
I love it! Start thinking about what you think my look good for letter head for scholarship fund. O.M.
oh oh on the typo. o.m.
thanks carl and o.m.
i have been, luv, i was thinking something along the lines of her signature (you know it, but to refresh your memory see the card cover below) - i've just been really slammed with work and homework recently
Thatseems like a good idea. I also like the image with the moon/stars but I can't make out 2 words"we are___music makers and we are____dreamers of dreams. Miss you, try not to burn out. O.M.
That's hilarious, Mysfit! Great concept. :)
O.M. both words are "the" ;)
i posted about these words here
okay, got it, duh! :) o.m.
I love this idea...I teach publications and photography, and I'm always working with my students on the art and craft of connecting with your audience. What a great activity to use in the upcoming semester...
WoW, kylin, that's awesome! i really like it. what kind of font is that? Or did you make it up?
...i wonder if her head itches from the wig...;)
ah... pearls and feathers...
That's an excellent blend of the old and new. I find your take on King Louie's possible baldness rather scandalous! ;)
