Visuals
As mentioned when I picked up 'Our Betty' I was excited by the cover, Liz looks great: my immediate thought for this brief was to do a tongue in cheek, granny chic shoot, something that's quite fun, playful and humourous.
Visuals taken from the publication...
These are some visuals that could reflect this granny chic theme the styling with the JLS guys I could interpret with a model, also I love the image of the elderly lady. I love the fact that yes she may be a little older than the next style icon, but she is quite glamourous and you can see she has considered her outfit.
I love the images of the women who have been behind the bar in Coronation Street, just the use of the photoframes is really fun and for 'Our Betty' very fitting. This is something I feel Liz would have set up in her home- lots of photographs of grandchildren, performances, family etc. So when I consider my presentation for this brief I could replicate this.

Publications of choice.
Publications I chose from the amazing Harris Museum library include, 'Our Betty', by Liz smith, 'Key Moments in Fashion' and 'Radical Fashion' edited by Claire Wilcox.
I decided to focus on 'Our Betty' for this project but I wanted to explain why I considered the other two publications.
'Key Moments in Fashion'
This I choose because I like to study people and look at characteristics of people, and I feel with this publication I could look at not their character so literally but I could look at what has been left behind: the things that help to build up a story of the character- the coffee they drink, the books they read, snacks they eat.
This is a thought because I know that the customers of the library have changed over the years and the types of customer that are at the library vary massively now. I thought I could use the publication by looking at significant moments in fashion, such as the punks for instance and do a character based story for the GILIL project.
'Radical Fashion'
This I choose because I felt that the library is sometimes seen as a dull place: quite mundane and in my work I like to play with contrasts so I thought I could use the publication as a source for inspiration for bringing into the library amazing fashion pieces and contrasting these incredible fashion pieces to the library location.
