My i-D

This is an i-D magazine cover I made by taking two editorials from the original magazine using them as cover. The 2007 Edition was about rebellion and punk, for this reason I thought the original cover featuring Kate Moss was completely inappropriate and needed some change.
This was the original cover which I thought didn't reflect the content of the magazine

London Street Art - Banksy

Above are a few pictures of some of Banksy's street art works, situated in corners in East London. Banksy has yet never appeared in public, nobody ever saw him even do his works.
He uses spray as fast as lightning and manages to get extraordinary results.
He mostly sprays around the Uk although his trade mark was also seen around some street corners in Europe.

Best fashion ads 2009

Alexander McQueen Ad Campaign F/W 2009
This is one of the best ads made this year. I feel I have no words every time I see it!
The photos speak for themselves.

Dolce&Gabbana Ad Campaign S/S 2009
I find this ad campaign very intelligent. It's not the usual menswear ad campaign, but it actually focuses on the new types of men that exist today (metro-sexual, homo-sexual...)
It was about time that important social groups like those were shown publicly.

Marc Jacobs Ad Campaign S/S 2009
Although I find that Marc Jacob's ad campaigns are too mainstream, I still like this one because it has a "surrealist" feeling to it.
Dsquared Ad Campaign S/S 2009 by Steven Meisel
I really like this modern vision of the bad that fights against the good (or vice-versa)...
Although the photo is "frozen" in a way, because of the cold atmosphere that surrounds the models -Meisel  always managed to express the importance of dynamic movement.
It's a very controversial photo, maybe it's thw reason why I love it so much.

Love for Color


This was Louis Vuitton's window display this last winter. I really like the energy of the colors.
I thought it was great, especially considering that normally the window displays are always very classical.

Gaze

This is a picture I took of myself and blurred it a little to give it a glowing effect.

Me&Creativity


Valeria
 I am a student in first year Fashion Marketing&Communications and aspire to be a creative director in the future.
I live for the arts and love to experiment new ways of self-expression .
 Communication is really what I am interested in, I feel it is one of the most important things in the world! In my opinion life is about communicating with ourselves and others, we are all able to communicate although not everybody knows how.

One of the most important things in order to be creative is to be inspired. There is still someone that feels that looking at other people's work for inspiration is copying but it's not at all like that! like my Communication teacher says: there "is no new idea, just re-interpretations of other ideas" .

In this Blog I will post anything that could be inspiring for anyone who needs new ideas.
I will also include my personal work for all of you to see, you might find something interesting there.

Enjoy & be Creative!
