I put the black glasses on the table because they are her trademark. For the side plate I painted a plate flesh colour and but a scalpel over it. This was to symbolise that she's gone 'under the knife' many times.
For the glass I put the wine glass upside down on the table to indicate that it wasnt in use as she hasn't drank in years.

Anne Robinson is well known for presenting her show 'The Weakest Link'. I began to research more about the show and the different elements in it. i also looked into her personal life and discovered she is a recovering alcoholic. She has one daughter who she lost custody of only aged 2 because she was an unfit mother.

Robinson is well known for her blunt "you are the weakest link...goodbye". Her nickname is 'Queen of Mean'.

For my place setting i decided to make it more interactive like her show. For  the plate I choose to make an oval out of MDF and paint it blue just like the voting off boards which they use on the show.

I wanted to ask a question and then use the cutlery as the tools to answer. I decided to aske the question

 "what is the medical term used to describe what is commonly known as a facelift?

 A. Ostectomy 

B. Fistulotomy

 C.Rhytidectomy

I chose this question because anne robinson is well known for her many facelifts! 

On my cutlery i carver in the choices A, B and C and on the hanndles I carved in 'Goodbye' on the ones that were incorrect to hint at her "you are the weakest link goodbye" I put all this cutlery in the napkin so that you had to pull out the one you thought was correct.

Celebrity come dine with me

Our final project was very different to the others we had done over the weeks. For the project we all picked a celebrity's name out of a hat. The celebrity that i got is Anne Robinson. The idea of the project is to design a place setting for the person without using their name and trying to reflect their personality or line of work or what they are famous for.

I started to experiment wiht the letters and the idea that racheles bubbly when you get to know her so i was looking at the letter peeling back like peeling back her personality.

I looked at the peeling on different letters and with or without the box, i felt that the peeling n the C worked the best so i ran with that.

This was the final one in 5cm,10cm and 15cm in black and white and in colour.

 

The next thing was looking at different letterheads and seeing which one was most succesfull.

the one above was the one i choose. with the little fold of paper just like there is n the logo I uses this in the business card and compliment slip also to keep it consistent.

I tried out using Rachele's full name trying to use the C to show her bubbly/chatty side so i tried out a few on photo shop but they weren't very successful.

This was some more experimenting with the RC's

                             I liked the C tilted with the R because it was kind of fun and playful so i tried it out in bright vibrant colours.

After our crit my classmates and tutors gave me feedback so i developed this idea more after that to make the logo more my own.

This was when I was experimenting with the gills font.

I experimented with verdana font also but didn't think it really reflected racheles bubbly personality.
