The Final Piece.

Wine Glasses : Perfume.

My next idea was to incorporate her perfumes into the place setting somehow. Her No.5 fragrance was the most iconic and the first of all of her perfumes. Also the perfume Chance is my favorite Chanel fragrance so I used the wine glasses to show this because they hole liquid like the perfume bottle do.

Plate.

I wanted to incorporate some of her personal style into the setting, so I looked up images of her. Obviously she was  famous for black and the little black dress, but I already have the tea cup as the little black number of my piece. After looking through the images of her, she was always wearing 2 long necklaces, made up of pearls or beads, around her neck. So I decided to make a plate out of beads.

Tea Cup and Spoon.

One of my first ideas was to try and incorporate her skills as a Modiste into the place setting. I turned a tea cup upside down to give it the shape of a hat and used the spoon as a hair pin. I painted the cup and saucer black and also the spoon, but then decorated the spoon with beads and feathers.

Celebrity Come Dine With Me : Coco Chanel

Our final project of the year is to design a place setting for a famous person which we chose at random and my celebrity was Coco Chanel. In researching about her, I learned a lot and found a few key points that I knew I wanted to include in my place setting. For instance, she was a Modiste (a hat maker) before she worked in fashion. She also injected herself with Morphine on a daily basis, a thing many people did not know about her. As usual I started with a mindmap after doing research, and then proceeded then to do Thumbnails.

Final picks.

I ended up with two designs in the end. I wanted to compliment the logo by sticking with pink and black, so I tried it with this one:

But after talking it over with my tutor, I went for a more simple design, adopting that less is more. I also put a slight gradient effect on the Sidorova to give the logo a bit of depth because I felt it was a bit flat. Considering everything, I am happy with the end result of my logo; I think it's clear, has the right balance of colour and encompasses two traits of Anna's Personality. 

Sizes and different design options for Letter heads.

I did out the different sizes for the compliments slip and business card. I also rotated the logo to show the second name on the horizontal inside the first name, which is on the vertical. This also  shows the A at the end of Sidorova falling off at a good angle.

I also tried different designs down the right side of the page ad across the bottom of the page to compliment the  logo.
