Etta James - At last
So much love for this song

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh yeah yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh yeah yeah
You smiled, you smiled
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
for you are mine...
At Last
It's the ultimate happiness, falling in love, everything is colourful and clear. I need to explore that somehow.
CHVRCHES - Clearest Blue



Light, it's all over us
Like it always was
Like it always was
Shape by the clearest blue
But it's not enough
It's not enough, not enough
Just another time we're caught inside
Every open eye
Holding on tightly to the sides
Never quite learning why
You'll meet me, you'll meet me
You'll meet me halfway
Whenever I feel it coming on
You can be well aware
If ever I try to push you away
You can just keep me there
So please say you'll meet me
Meet me halfway
Tied to the shifting ground
Like I always was
Like I always was
You, were the perfect star
But it's not enough, it's not enough
Not enough, not enough
Just another time that I go down
But you were keeping up
Holding to a hope you undermined
Never to be reversed
Just another time we're caught inside
Every open eye
Holding on tightly to the sides
Never quite learning why
Whenever I feel it coming on
You can be well aware
If ever I try to push you away
You can just keep me tell me
Tell me tell me, you'll meet me
Tell me tell me, you'll keep me
Tell me tell me, you'll meet me
Will you meet me more than halfway
Shape by the clearest blue
Shape by the clearest blue

Thought Bubble Zine
The idea
I got the idea from a drawing I'd done in my sketchbook over the summer of carol voderman spelling out rude words on countdown and I hear conversations from male friends about how much they fancy her. I thought it would be funny to pretend that the zine was created by a boy/man for Carol confessing their love.
For the text I've been playing around with my typography lately on other briefs with different brushes in Photoshop and I've become a fan of this one..

So I used it again for this. I wanted the writing to look quite 'masculine' if that's a thing so I stuck to capitals and kept it quite rough.
Poetry
The idea of using poetry came to me because I haven't used it within my work in a while and still wish to explore it, I think it adds to the humour and is almost like a cool rap. I initially wrote the poem in my notes on my phone like I do with all of my poems they come to me at certain times of day mostly when I'm laid in bed at night but this one came to me on a morning while I was getting ready
