SouthBank Trip

Last week my college visited SouthBank and Borough Market relevant to our current advertising project. We have been researching about all these different attractions and then we visited these places to see them first hand.

Firstly we visited Borough Market where we got to experience the tastes and smells of the different cuisines available to buy from the different stall holders. For my lunch I had a bratwurst hot dog which was the biggest one I've ever had. I also sampled different cheeses, seafood and cakes which left me feeling rather stuffed. I loved the brownies so much I purchased some for my friends and family. I really enjoyed the buzz around Borough Market and would recommend anyone to visit for a first hand, fresh, homemade food. All the stall holders were very friendly and so warm and inviting. The presentation of their stalls was also magnificent that could not turn you away. My friend also got offered an illustration opportunity to design packaging for a new fudge range which she was exceptionally happy with.

Then carried our journey along SouthBank along the River Thames where we visited several different art museums such as Tate Modern, Hayward Gallery. We also passed the OXO tower and took photographs for our projects of all the different attractions. We also visited the National Theatre skate park where we observed the amazing graffiti art and the talented bikers. Our group also stopped along near the London eye and took photographs and also watched the street entertainers.

Overall, the trip was very helpful to my current project and also my research that comes with it. It also helped give me a better insight to the feel, mood and culture of SouthBank which I will take into consideration when designing my advertising poster.
