No problems.

Re questions, they were just an example. Have a think of some of your own, too.

Also, when I said consistency, I also meant in how you report the outfit - eg
Hat by
Coat by
Dress by
Tights by
Shoes by
Handbag by
Hair by

All men and women get the same treatment.

Hope this helps.

PS Good luck with the dissertation!

Hi,
I've been working on my dissertation too, so I know how it feels!
29 was one of my favourites too. Hopefully I'll be able to get out with a camera over the next couple of days, so I'll send you the photo's/mock up's when I've done.
Thanks for the help about the questions. I was wondering what type of questions you'd want.
Thanks again for your help/feedback!
Rachel

Sorry Rachel,

Was thinking of you over the weekend - it's been manic with work. No excuse. Very rude, I know....;-)

Yes, I did get them and I have viewed them. They look good - you've got some good ideas there.

I really like the idea of the streetstyleuk blog - that might be something we can develop together as part of this project, as we are always limited to what can go into print.

Re the designs, I like the creativity of board 28, but I need the space to work harder in featuring more people. What you've done works well if there are only one or two images to manipulate. So let's leave that one. Board 27 is great, but doesn't move the section forward. You're absolutely right in what you're suggesting, but we need to take it to the next level. So, of the three, my favourite is board 29. I'd really like to see this developed, real photographs used from out and about in Nottingham and take it from there.

When you are doing the shots, make sure you are consistent. Ask them all the SAME questions, so you can use the answers in the feature - eg What is your favourite item of clothing this season? What are you saving up to buy this season? etc. Just some ideas, but make sure everyone answers - nothing worse than inconsistency. Same goes with age, job etc. If you ask one person it, ask them all.

Best
Kevin

Email to Kevin - 'Ideas'

Hi Kevin,
Sorry its been a while since I last emailed you last.
I've attached some layout ideas I've sketched out. Examples and options I thought of.
I've got a blog running at www.ukstreetstyle.blogspot.com where I've scanned the mood boards and such and uploaded them.
Let me know what you think!
Apologises again for the late reply.
