Still part of advert and my analysis on this image
This advert is very attractive to the eye as it involves many bright colors. It is also very unlikely for you to be able to buy this car and do what you see in this advert. Even if you had the money to drive and skid your BMW through paint why would you?
Also if you bought a new BMW you would not want to get it dirty because i would not like to. This advert is trying to express fun. The company are trying to sell this car and feel that this is a good way to catch your eye and they are right.

My general review
Photographic Exhibition At Bristols City Museum And Art Gallery
This photographic exhibition is for anyone looking to find out about the music scene in Bristol in the 1980s. The exhibition will be displayed at the Bristol City Museum and art gallery. The tittle of the exhibition is 'Bristol Wild Dayz' which is also a book by Beezer and you will get a chance to purchase it at the exhibition as it will be launched on the day of the exhibition.
The exhibition and book pays homage to the early 80s Bristols underground scene. Beezer was a man who liked capturing the moment as you will see in his work.
This exhibition will take you on a journey through Bristols dark streets and culture the places police don't even go. If you live in Bristol then you will defiantly want to attend this exhibition. You will get to see over 100 images featuring the Wild Bunch and scenes from the Dug Out club. You will see the Bristols party and graffiti scenes.

My specialist review

This exhibition will take you on a journey you will never forget. It will be spectacular as it has captured wildlife and nature in all its glory. If you are a person who appreciates great photography and nature then this exhibition is for you. You will be absolutely amazed by the images taken by the worlds top wildlife photographers.
This is something not to miss if you are a fanatic about art photos and wildlife. You will be visually stunned and humoured by some thoughtful provoking images from the 45th annual Wildlife Photographer of the year Competition. These Photographers have been very patient and skilled to capture the unbelievable drama and beauty of nature.
You will see near to a 100 images that are full of life and joy. These images also carry a great deal of power and colour.

My Press Release on Dan Pleamonn
Cartoon Drawings of the dark side of Humanity By Dan Pleamonn
Work will be displayed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery
These drawings will shock you. This work by Dan Pleamonn will be displayed in the Bristol Art Gallery. Dan is a man very interested with this genre. His work will be very bloody, violent and disturbing. In his words “My work focuses on the human behaviour we would rather ignore. The despicable, the horrific the disturbing. My aim is to disgust. I believe true art incites the strongest emotion. Anyone who hates what I do is just playing into my hands.”
This is exhibition is not for the feint heart. There will be images that may offend many people. The work is very artistic and original. This work can not be found anywhere else part from the exhibition in Bristol. His work is something I advise you go to see as long as you have a strong stomach.
If you are a fan of horror movies and liked to be shocked on ten different scales then this is definitely for you. This cartoon exhibit is not aimed at children so please leave them at home before attending this event. The exhibition will be free to enjoy and his work will be auctioned off at the end. So please be sure to bring your wallets.
His work is very powerful and controversial creating rising questions and many don't agree with his work being in a art museum. Some people say it should be displayed in a mental institute. Best way is to see for yourself. You can be the one to judge and make your own decision on weather his work is suitable for the general public.
With all this in mind I would still recommend this exhibition as it shows off great skill in capturing pain and struggle. These cartoon images have been painted with great patients as they are very detailed and designed with great thought. All who is ready to see this work come and experience a dark side of life.
Notes on The Artist In The Marketplace
Charlotte Cotton was at university studying art history when she became interested in photography and film. Her education was making her unemployable. She did not want to do photography but wanted to be a part of it.
She thought she had no skills so she looked for volunteer work at the Victoria Albert Museum to work with the photography collection. She was very hard working and was trying her best to get to were she wanted to be doing what she loves.
She was looking for a opportunity in life. She saw her chance and took it and started looking at photography in a different perspective which opened up doors for her.
Notes on Vivienne Westwood
Vivienne Westwood is British designer who has captured the design of multiple traditions and symbols. I feel her work shows off who she is and shows how her work has changed. She works with other talented designers to get what she's looking for.
The orb design she has created has been used from her clothes and fragrances. Her design has changed to loose scribble that has worked very well as a logo.

We looked at certain images that reflect the image of photography and how it is used. It is used everywhere and for everything. From weddings to animal photography to adverts and film. At the start of photography only wealthy people could afford to do it as it cost at at the time.
We looked how image manipulation started and how it has changed. We looked at how manipulation of an image can make you think different of something you are looking at.

I watched a lot of students getting off of buses and walking which made me appreciate my car and how lucky i am. I then got into college and parked my car. I got out and went to my first lesson.
On my break i drove to the shops with my mates. I then came back to college and went back to my next lesson. On the way Back i came across a lot of signs for road works. On my lunch i got food and stayed in my classroom. I carried on with wok as usual until the end of the day. When i finished at three thirty i got back into my car and drove home were i was then stuck in traffic as a lot of people were traveling buy car.
I came across a lot of cars and busses. I got home and parked my car. When i got in i ate some food and did some college work. I watched a film and then went to bed and that was my 24 hours.

A piece of work that stands out to me
This graphic work stands out to me and i feel it is very effective because the designer has mixed a real image with some attractive effects. I would like to be able to do work like this in the future and i will learn how to. I also like this image because it involves street dance.
