Developing My Designs - Design 1

As I have 3 ideas in my head of what I want to produce, I thought I need to do something different and interesting to make my word pop and stand out.

I got a researched a lot on Pinterest, Instagram, Google, I went to the library and I even took some of my own pictures out of books I have already.

Design 1 

My first design is based on a woman with flawless skin, sharp red lips, winged liner and strong brows wearing some glasses - so she's "reading" something or "browsing" something.
I was looking in the internet for different ideas I could find based on paper, as this woman would be "reading the paper" I think had an idea that I could keep the make up the same, and she could wear the glasses but, the glasses could be wrapped up in a newspaper. So she's "browsing" the paper through her glasses but its actually wrapped around the glasses.
I think this would be relevant to my word because people browse a lot of different things, but one of the first things that was produced was the newspaper. Back in 1665 the first newspaper was published in England called The Oxford Gazette, in 1666 it was changed to The London Gazette.
I will keep the make up as I wanted it from the start, really flawless skin, contoured cheek bones, and the eye brows will be filled in too. I won't do anything on the eyes are they will not be seen behind the glasses if they are going to be wrapped in paper. I also want to have the lips really sharp and neat to give the look an edge to it.
I think in this day and age more women are making an effort with their appearance, they wear more make up, try out new make up techniques and take care of their image. Instead of reading newspapers and books, they read online books, books on kindles, they are on social media websites and always on their phone. It's like we are blinded sometimes by the internet.
This is why I want my model to have some really good make up to keep on trend but the glasses will in a way cover/blind her by all the social media we have today and we are all addicted to.
In 1665 when the first newspaper came out, people were more sociable, spoke to each other, weren't online all day and night either and they weren't blinded by it all like we are now.

The hair for this look will be soft waves through the hair but slicked off the face so all the emphasis is on the glasses and the hair will just be an added extra. I wanted to do this so the hair doesn't over power or get too much in to the face and ruin the whole feel of the image.

In my feedback when I said about how I want to develop this design they liked the idea of how the social media is brought in to the look too. It's a known thing these days that social media is what we live on and incorporating that seems to be a good idea.

Here are some images I have found and brought together from different sources such as Pinterest, Instagram and Google -
For my mood boars I used pictures that were inspiring to me which goes with the look of what I want to produce - 
- The blind girl - showing we are blinded by society when we are constantly browsing on our phones
- The mobile phone  and the social media icons - this is what people base their life on now and it is getting to the point you look at that more than you speak to people
- The glasses - fashion is what is shared a lot on social media, people love to shop, browse and get inspiration from the latest celebs on the social media networks which is why I want my model to look fashionable in her make up and hair 
- The sculpture - I want to sculpt the face with contouring and highlighting the correct areas, keeping in touch with the modern lifestyle women lead 
- The waves - the hair will be in soft waves keeping on trend yet off the face to the face is clear to see, like people like to clearly see their Facebook 
- The matte red - this is the colour and texture I want the lips to be, deep colour and clean application. Everything we browse is clean and in some formation - like lips are lovely and slightly overdrawn which is some women's daily application routine.
