Is New Lanark Mill Hotel the Perfect Venue for Your Wedding Photography in Scotland

I've been honoured to capture extraordinary moments at the enchanting New Lanark Mill Hotel in Scotland. This place exudes history and natural beauty, making it an absolute wedding gem. Imagine the serene River Clyde flowing nearby and the ancient stone walls adding that magic touch. It's a setting where every corner tells a story of love, tradition, and pure joy.

I love you, I know

I know you're not mine

Nor will you ever be

I am not asking for that anyways

But I can't deny how I feel

I love you, I know

But I don't expect anything in return

I just want you to be near

That's all I need to be happy

You will also leave one day

Till then

Let me love you from the bottom of my heart

Just be gentle with my injured heart

I've been through this before

So I know it won't end well

Unless I learn from my mistakes

And the past which is repeating itself

Gotta play it safe

And not get too attached

Let me live this dream for a while

Even if it's just in my imagination

Just continue being you

My muse and renewed hope

My stepping stone

My unconditional love

Project Brief- What you bring to the table...

University of Cumbria BA (Hons) Graphic Design, BA (Hons) IllustrationGRAP4070 - Communicating Ideas

What You Bring to the Table...

Project: 1 Briefing: Monday 14 January Deadline: Friday 25 JanuaryStudio Tutorials: Friday 18 January

What this project is about

Good designers and illustrators bring a lot more than their technical skills to the table when they undertake a piece of design. In the way that actors apply something of themselves to the part they play, so it should be with illustration and graphic design. To paraphrase Neville Brody; you need to have a genuineemotional involvement with the project brief to produce effective design solutions. There is a real skill in generating positive emotions in response to projects that may, at first, appear dull - it’s usually to do with embracing the challenge and creating ‘the brief within the brief’. To make your life easier

(and to hopefully elicit as wide a range of human emotions as possible) we’ve decided to use music as the subject matter for this project. As Plato once said: “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything”.

The Project Brief

Choose one from the three songs/pieces of music that you selected from theenvelope of destiny (web links on Blackboard). Make sure it’s the one you find the most interesting, moving or engaging. You are now asked to creatively respond to your chosen piece in one of two ways:

1) Produce creative packaging for a song with lyrics one of the following formats: CD, LP/12”, 7” single or Cassette. The packaging should be a complimentary, engaging, graphic ‘accompaniment’ to a song (N.B. you arenot allowed to package an instrumental track). It should also include elements of typography (the full lyric should be featured). You should pay particular attention to exploring the creative potential of alternative materials, surfaces and types of paper/card.

Although there are no restrictions placed on the use of image, type, hand lettering etc. we would encourage most graphic designers to work to their strengths and produce a type/photographic/design lead solution. In fact it is perfectly permissible to treat this brief as a piece of pure typography. Illustrators need to consider whether the words/text will be to the fore, or if images will communicate the bulk of the meaning.

2) Produce a 30 second (minimum) moving image piece (mp4/mov format) to accompany a song or instrumental piece of music. You could consider this a ‘sample’ from a promotional video or a more experimental work. Any technique/approach to moving image is permissible as long as it

is appropriate and complements the mood of your song/instrumental. Obviously, this piece should include the song/music as its soundtrack.

As this is an ‘open’ brief, particular emphasis will be placed upon your research and development work. Final pieces that appear ‘out of nowhere’ will be heavily penalised. The quality of a final piece is determined by a process of informed selection. You need to show us how your work was refined and developed over the two weeks.

What we are looking for (assessment criteria) EXPERIMENT: Examine and experiment with a range of visual approaches.Explore scale and tactile experience ALTERNATIVES: Select appropriate media/materials in the development of alternatives. Make sure you have more than one final idea/approachEXAMINE: Examine and consider the effectiveness of a range of approaches for the development of ideas, concepts and meaning. We want to see the designers and artists that have influenced you. Include them in your research worksheets.

Deliverables 1. A professionally (and creatively) packaged songor a 30 second (minimum) moving image piece to accompany a song/instrumental track

2. Research and development work clearly documenting the journey to final piece 3. Your completed (apart from the final section) self reflection form.

Points to consider

Like an actor playing a part, your treatment of the lines should be believable and true to the original artist’s intentions. At worst your design should complement the experience of listening to the song, at best it should positively add new dimensions to the experience!

If you were an actor reading these your song’s lyric as lines on stage you would be expected to have: 1. Explored and understood the lyric’s meaning (are the words used literally or metaphorically?)

2. Found a point of view or tone of voice that represents the lyric effectively 3. Brought something of your own experience and personality to the performance - what special ‘something extra’ does a good actor bring to the part they are playing?

You should exploit the unique possibilities of format in enhancing such things as the drama, pace, humour, mood and meaning of the written/sung words.

Your final piece has the potential to be both interactive and/or tactile. Think about materials and surfaces and how they can hugely enhance the viewer’s sensual experience.

Consider changing the format of ‘spreads’ by including ‘gatefolds’ and ‘fold outs’; binding in different types/ colours of paper/materials; cutting the page (holes, slicing the edge etc.); utilising accordion folding etc.; pop-ups; ‘tipping in’ (sticking things on to the page); employing a slipcase.

Moving image people - when using YouTube to listen to the music don’t watch the video as it will colour your view of the piece!

Blog Activities

Document what you consider outstanding LP/CD Packaging and/or moving image work.

In this project I have to chose one of the song I was randomly give last week, which are:

The Joy Formidable- This ladder is ours

Let's take this walk, it's long overdue

And let this loathe crawl over you finally

Let's take this walk, it's overdue

Let's sit and talk and slow things down

Just be our old selves again finally

Let's take this walk

Let's take a walk to somewhere pretty

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

We can be anybody else

Hold on to the fringe

Jump through from the past

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

This is where everybody turns

Out right in the end

Can you play a part?

See us walking through the sunshine

Ask me where I've been

Back to Ire

Back to desire

This is where it all begins

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

We can be anybody else

Hold on to the fringe

Jump through from the past

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

This is where everybody turns

Out right in the end

Can you play that part?

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

This ladder is ours

Thomas Dolby -Cloudburst at Shingle Street

We climb the cliffs

And hang from trees

Wrap the rocks and pave the beach

State of shock at flick of switch

into the cloudburst overhead

I wanna get my face wet

It's been buried in the sand for years

(Headlong) into the cloudburst naked

There's really no escaping it

There's gonna be a cloudburst here

Come out of your shell

And look at the sea

It may be just as well

You stayed here with me

Private hell at turn of a key

into the cloudburst overhead

I wanna get my face wet

It's been buried in the sand for years

(Headlong) into the cloudburst naked

There's really no escaping it

There's gonna be a cloudburst here

And it's dawning on me

I've been a cork in the ocean, been bobbing in the North Sea

Then take this vest of plaster, these boots of concrete

And make them down as surplus, return to Mulberry

Cloudburst at Shingle Street

Cloudburst at Shingle Street

Cloudburst at Shingle Street

When I was small I was in love in love with everything

Now there's only you

The Tornados -Telstar

Magic star above

Send a message to my love

Tell him that I'll wait patiently

Sad and so lonely

Dreaming of him only

Swift and graceful as a dove way up above

Magic star up high

Dancing through the sky

Tell him that my heart cries for joy

Please say that one day

I'll hear his voice say

That I'm his one and only girl

As the stars light up the sky

And I kneel and pray

Guide his footsteps

Safe and sound

Back home again to stay

Magic star above

Send a message to my love

Tell him that I'll wait patiently

Sad and so lonely

Dreaming of him only

Swift and graceful as a dove way up above

Hmmmm

Better get on planning then.

This is my friend @joshtarp. Quite glad he's apart of the community Maggie and I have been able to weave together here in the DMV. It's important to cultivate wherever you're currently planted, even if you don't want it to be a place you live long term. It's important, even if it's hard. After all, we're human and we're communal beings. So get out there and love someone. Also, I'm a v big fan of the #genuineemotion shown here. (at Pier Six Pavilion)

My Suffering

That house,

How shall I describe it?

Maybe, the house of torture

Or the house of pain.

It is my cause of suffering.

Gave me depression

When I least expected it.

Made me not recognize myself...

If I could go back

And erase those years from my memory,

I would gladly do that

To save my life and myself right now.

But this is real life

Where the stakes are higher,

And nothing can be undone,

No matter how much we regret.

Living with scars of the past,

Traumas in our head,

Unforgettable pain,

Everlasting torture,

I say, "I wanna escape,"

But this house is my only shelter

I say, "I wanna leave those people"

Who have become my worst enemies.

Isn't one supposed to feel safe at home?

Then why does mine make me feel depressed?

Is it normal to not wanna come back home

Everyday, after work and school?

Is it normal to feel so homeless

When you've got roof on top of your head,

Your head on your bed,

The chosen food on the table,

And some old clothes in your closet?

I know I'm supposed to be grateful—

To see the good and overlook the negative,

But I'm still living in pain

Because of this house of torture.

I run away from my suffering,

But I always seem to find my way back to it.

I wander around in the realms of this world,

To find a place to call home...

I Still Love You

Feelings held back,

Hearts full of regret,

I say, "It's time to forget,"

But this time is frozen.

We may be from the past:

A tale of love unspoken,

Feelings hidden,

And hearts broken.

I never told you I love you,

Nor did you ever.

I never said how much I cared,

But we never needed to say a word.

T'was as clear as day,

Untold but only known to us.

T'was so sweet.

Maybe, the silence made it sweeter.

They say,

"Actions speak louder than words,"

But words long untold

Become bullets

And make holes in our hearts.

Bleeding love,

Can't hold this in anymore.

I may never have said this,

But I still love you.

[genuineemotionwriter]

I long to belong

In a world where I stand out

I long to belong

If being normal

Means having more friends

Then I will take it

If being easy-going and carefree

Means more people will like me

Then I'm down

If not voicing my opinions

Means more people will like me

Then I'm willing to make this sacrifice

If letting people walk all over me

Means I will be socially accepted

Then I object

I refuse pretending to be someone I'm not

This is a matter of priorities

Would you rather rise to be the person you were meant to be?

Or be looked down upon by people who see you as another unit in the herd?

If being myself means

Being invisible

Then I will roam the roads alone

And look for my moment of epiphany

Or I could just settle for a faded image of belonging

Just to fill that gap

And that hidden sense of lack

Mend the cracks in my heart

But step on my own ego

I'll cover my mouth

So you won't hear me screaming

I'll wipe my face

So you won't see me tearing

I'll tie my feet

So I won't try fleeing

But don't expect to like me

Or the version of me I'm projecting

It's only what I think is deemed acceptable

For who knows if society's got it right?

What if they are at false, and my claim is more precise?

If having more friends

Will make me happy

So be it

It's worth the shot

Now that confidence is there

Who wouldn't wanna be my friend?
