Through these modules I found all of the lectures and tasks basically are very interesting and useful and although one of them I did not enjoy, they were beneficial in the end.

Through task 1/2 Online Resources ，I know many different ways to search online resources, a variety of different sites, as well as contact a lot of different areas of the website, also expanded my aspect of knowledge.

Through task 9/10 Ethics, I know, the importance of ethics, equality between men and women.Big brands and small gap is how to control the balance between the ethics.Some brands use sex to promote their own brands or clothing, has violated the ethics.

. I looked at a number of different sources, but I found I was looking in the wrong places.

In the end, I think that the module in the aspect of learning or in the arts are of great help to me, and help us to understand art, also can help me learn English, through the way of writing an article helps me greatly improved my English level, I enjoy it very much

I chosen the second image, American Apparel, when I first saw this image, I think it is not a good sample of advertisement. Firstly, I do not know what is this image want to present and the action of this girl was a little bit over. Secondly, ethical standard is a very important issue in the world, even some photographer could use this point to get much more attention from some people for sure. However, that is the reason why they could not be successful, there are many famous artists who are doing the same job in the world, because they knew what ethical standard is, so they can be called the artist.

• For example, in this picture, he put a brand name in this women’s private parts, I think this is not art, contrary to morality, even is a kind of discrimination against women, maybe he was just a sock advertising, but in this world there are many different ways to promote the brand, this way propaganda I feel a bit too over. This image is full of sexual connotation, you can see that a girl is lying on the bed and her legs are very suggestive of sex. This kind of background also can make the person to extrapolate

Sex sells is not all bad, for example, we can use this to get a lot of attention to the traffic, even if you can make good use of this point can also help people understand what is sex. like a lot of luxury brands in advertising, their choice of models is often very good stature, because they are professional, so they can not only attract the attention of people can also tell people the importance of having a good body figure.

But some brands use a lot of sex suggestive pictures and actions, and even let some children put out some unhealthy movements, which is very incorrect.

• Art is freedom, everything is freedom. I don’t deny it, but everything should be rational. This type of advertising is seriously against ethics and is unacceptable. As one of the largest North American clothing manufacturers and marketers, this is a very wrong method, even can be called an unsuccessful advertisement.

<Taste, fashion and the French fashion magazine> is the article I chosen to read.

In the first paragraph, I knew that the fashion magazine was originated in France in seventeenth Century, the role of the magazine is not only to record the process of fashion and the development of art, but also to promote the development of fashion.

In the next paragraph, I knew how does the fashion magazine appear (1627) and what form it appears. And then, in the years of 1768, fashion magazine got the official publication and the “taste” of fashion come out.

How to prove this thing is art or fashion, the problem began to be discussed, after a lot of experiments, that everyone has their own views on art, their taste, this is a very inspired me, everyone looks at each work has its own thoughts and opinions, because of this, the world is colorful, fashion is also various, in my opinion, different fashion together can be considered a real fashion.

Fashion magazines may not completely change the way people appreciate their beauty, but they can tell people how to dress, how to entertain, how to change some interior decorations, and tell people about their interests and customs. It also improves people’s fashion taste

Even in some art or paintings, there are also differences between fashion and clothing, such as Claude-Louis Desrais, Pierreomas LeClerc and Antoine Watteau “s grandnephew, Fran ois-Louis-Joseph Watteau (Morini 2006: C 32.), we can see in the illustration to the different class system of clothing is not the same, can tell the clothing tell the difference between people and history in the fashion clothing at the same time.

I really like this sentence, “Le Brun Tossa intended the concepts of fashion and taste to be regarded as fulfilling the same function: if fashion could be aligned with taste, it could also—very conveniently—be regarded as a form of art, and if fashion could indeed be regarded as a form of art, then it would also legitimately become the proper remit of the faculty of taste”.

Different types of clothes can present different culture and life style, people have the right to choose, fashion magazine could be one of the most influential way to spread.

Art and fashion are not conflict, fashion comes from art, and art comes from fashion.

So the transformation process of fashion magazine recorded the clothing style, also marks the transition to modern history, not only in fashion, of which there are many potential such as history, society, history, so I think the fashion magazine is a very meaningful product.

Punk style

· I chose this book because last week I went to the Camden Town in London, I found that some people’s dressing style is very cool and interesting, exaggerated clothes and accessories are very special, these thing made an indelible impression on me. And from this book, I knew many history of Punk, and enhanced the understanding of punk style. For example, nail, pin, hairstyle, earring, leather jacket and many rubber materials. Also understand the motivation and interpretation of punk style. First originated in some bands, “punk never dies” is a slogan, saying that young people are not afraid of rights, brave to do their own spirit such as anarchism. But the information about punk style of fashion and society that is not many.

And then, I went these websites because there are many information about Punk and the resource is reliable. Gothic culture is different with Punk, even they have a little bit similar. Here I learned a lot about punk band. Such as the famous band sex pistols.

In my opinion, enough research can provide a lot of evidence and broaden my mind if I want to do the design of this idea in the future, in order to further understand the punk culture, I found this website using webcat.
