The history of punk rock clothing can be traced back to the mid 1970s and became popular in conjunction with the musical genre of the same name. This alternative scene from the mainstream arose simultaneously in the United Kingdom and the United States as well as in places such as Australia, and all of these bands and designers heavily influenced each other.

An essential part of the ethos of this era was making your own outfits. This reflected the rejection of corporate attitudes and putting together typically mismatching clothes was encouraged. Although to identify with a scene there is always a code of dress, this particular scene was liberating for people with little money as they could use the clothes they already had and make them more fitting to their peers.

There were several key looks that could be mixed to convey a solidarity with this movement. Items included band jackets with the names spelled in studs, studs and spikes on jewellery, safety pins as jewellery or on clothes, fishnet stockings, army style boots, bondage trousers, and spray painted or ripped items of clothing.

Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren were two of the most influential people in this scene. Westwood is a designer who is still immensely successful in the fashion industry and McLaren ran a shop named ‘Sex’ selling her designs in the Kings Road in London, England. He credited American singer and songwriter Richard Hell with being the inspiration for the style and ethos of the shop and ultimately the entire movement.

Original clothes can be bought from surplus stores and second hand sales. This may range from a band t-shirt to a well worn key item to an original label production. New items in the style of this era can be found on the internet where there are many outlets that specialize in this particular look.

Different items will cost different amounts and there are a variety of aspects that influence the amount. An original Vivienne Westwood t-shirt can cost up to one thousand US dollars and larger or more complicated items will be even more. Other original pieces will vary depending on the condition it is in and depending on where it is bought from, postage and packaging costs. This look is often acknowledged in modern fashion and so some seasons will provide cheaper and easily accessible clothes.

It is, of course, more true to the ethos of punk rock to make your own outfits. Taking old jeans and tops and strategically placing rips or zips provides a way of owning an original and unique piece.

When thinking about which direction you should go with your printed business card design there are a few things to take into consideration about your business card before you rush in and start laying the card out. One thing I see a lot is a lot of people get lost in the actual design of the business card before they have thought about what they need the card to function as. This is fine if all you need is a business card that looks great and a lot of the time a business card like this will function just fine but there are a lot of times where pretty alone isn’t functional and the aim is to get both, a great looking business card that also serves all the tasks you might need it to.

Some functions to take into consideration that might or might not apply to your particular business card are:

1. Lets work out what the most important elements or information are that you need your business card to convey and work from there down to make sure they are the most prominent in the end design.

2. Maybe you will need to have an area on the reverse side of your card that you can jot down information for individual clients, like arrangement dates etc.

3. Are you paying for a double sided printed business card or single. If its double you have more freedom but maybe you want to save on money and just print one side. If so remember this from the start and try to limit the amount of information you place on that one side. Remember a cluttered design not only looks bad but makes your business card harder to decipher and this is an obstruction for your customer.

I want to now talk about the look and feel of the business card. Lets try to make sure if your company has a colour scheme that we try to correlate your new business card with your existing business colours. So often I see people design a business card that doesn’t correspond with their company and website and this just serves to lessen the appearance of your professionalism.

Take into consideration your company colour scheme, most companies have one and its based usually in the colours of their logo and then continued onto the other forms of marketing e.g websites etc. Your business card is no different and should also reflect this colour scheme keeping in line with all your other forms of media.

The finish of your business card is also something to take into consideration, matte finishes also known as silk finishes give a sophisticated feel to your business card that suite some companies and don’t suit others.

Gloss finish business cards just like matte or silk card suit only some companies and its up to you to work out where your company sits and what business card finish is best for you.

Finally the size of your business card, this is not as important as the other topics we have covered but none the less something to take into consideration all the same. The different dimensions of business cards are rather similar, this is due to the fact that they must fit into a wallet or purse so they cant be too big or too small but you will find some business cards are slimmer than others and this is a nice dimension for a sophisticated card especially if you finish it in matte but once again this is something you need to work out for your company individually.

Now maybe you want to go for a business card that is a little on the fancy side, if so here are just a few of your options you might want to consider.

1. Foil cards look great and cost close to the same as regular business cards.

2. Die cut business cards – these look great and you can do some really creative things with the design when you have control of the shape.

3. Sticker business cards- I have seen this quite often and is another gimmick that works well and you know where ever they stick it it will stay and double up as advertising.

4. Magnet business cards- small magnet business cards are great for business’s like plumbers etc where you want your add on the clients fridge.

5. If you have digital media maybe you want to consider getting a cd-rom business card. These are great and while they might be a bit more expensive they make up for that by being impressive and also storing more media for your client.

Good luck with your business card design, I hope this has helped and your business card design becomes functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.

Its not rocket science but you still have to think about yourbusiness card and how it will work for you

Sleek, straight and slick are the three words best to describe last seasons hair and make-up fashion trends. Manes were more high maintenance than ever before and on the catwalks we saw an abundance of straight cuts, hard edges and sleek ponytails. And too, faces were minimal. Bleached eyebrows, barely there skin and banc eyelids were the talk of fashion town. But fast forward six months and its time to get a whole lot messier with a few hair tweak-ments.

Long haired lasses endured a winter taming their locks with serums and straighteners to be part of the 90′s grunge inspired look. With liquid liner in hand, the look was like stepping off the tour bus with Alanis Morrisette or PJ Harvey in her heyday. For Spring Summer 2011, those with long hair are being urged to get with the latest hair fashion trends and pick up a hair of triple barrel wavers. Working in finger length sections in an ad-lib way press the hair into waves. Finish off with some shine spray and you will be grapevining back to the 70′s in a glamorous Jerry Hall inspired fashion before you know it. A less severe kohl all the way round the eyes will give you that true disco diva look.

Kiera Knightly-esque short and neat blunt crops are now last year’s fashion trend. Today, stylists are urging gals to grab products to get textured once again. Today’s mussed-up look can easily be achieved as long as short curls have yet to grow out from last season. And if you fancy adding a beach party vibe to your mussed-up hairdo, subtle highlights are the way to go.

Block colouring hit the headlines after making waves in the fashion world, and now block eye shadow in perfect purples, punchy pinks and canary yellows are a must for 2011. And the 70′s fashion trend has also taken over the hairdressing world. Ponytails that were so recently tied up and slicked with a can of hair spray are now being fixed with one-tie silk scarves. As for scarf colours, blondes wear bold blues well whilst brunettes are flattered by leafy greens and citrus oranges.

So it’s clear that in 2011, the fashion trend isn’t just about the right look for your wardrobe, it’s also about the right look for your face and hair.

Thanks to the advance of technology and science today we are able to have a life quite different from our forefathers. We can talk by phone while we are in the subway. We can cross the ocean to visit our friends in just a few hours. Actually, it will take just a few years before people can go to the space as tourists.

The advance of science has given us those chances. Today we can rectify past mistakes such as unwanted tattoos. The new treatments to remove tattoos are so effective that they don’t leave you ugly scars as old methods used to leave. Besides, now you don’t have to drink a bottle of alcohol to reduce the pain as people did in the Middle Ages.

The pain also depends on how brave you are, but getting a tattoo is not a painless process either. Laser treatment is certainly a little expensive for most of the people. It can cost from 1,000 to 10,000 dollars but the results are amazing. However, if you can’t afford such an expensive treatment, there is a trick that you could take into consideration. We will see it later.

There is another method you can use. Tattoo removal creams are a very good option. These creams are perfect for those small and light colored tattoos. The treatment is very popular because you don’t need to go to a hospital to apply the cream. You can put this cream on your tattooed skin from the comfort of your home. However, you certainly need to be persistent. You have to apply the cream once or twice a day during months if you want to notice a good result.

However, when people decide to go into this method they need to be prepared to apply the cream every day, without fail. The first results take a few months to be seen. So, persistence is crucial to succeed. Now, if you need to have more immediate results but you don’t have enough money to afford all the required laser sessions, you can make a combination of both methods. With creams you can lighten your tattoo. Then, with just a few laser sessions you can remove the tattoo completely.

IPL, TCA Removal Method, Salabrasion, Dermabrasion and Excision are some of the other methods you can use today. However, they can’t compete with the effectiveness of laser treatment and the low prices of creams. So, a good combination of them could be the perfect solution for you!

As spring replaces winter, coats are thrown off revealing t-shirts once again as the focus point in designer fashion for men. With a springtime nip still lingering in the air, layering chunky knits over the centre piece is the perfect way to take advantage of the designs available this season before the summer months take hold.

The t-shirt, undoubtedly an item of simplicity, is effective nonetheless and versatile as a layering foundation for any outfit. It crosses weather boundaries with ease as a stand alone item or matched with top-layers and transcends formality restrictions with the swift addition of smart trousers and an overlying jacket. The t-shirt itself is a blank canvas for variety, coming in pattern or plain, an array of necklines (v-neck, crew neck, scoop neck, Y-neck or granddad, to name but a few) and different-length sleeves, the male t-shirt is truly a must-have item.

This spring the male t-shirt has been drafted in to express a nautical element of fashion inspiration. No garish buttons or fringed lapels; this season the seafaring mariner is a rough and ready working sailor. Norse Projects have delivered a simple but effective blue and white tee that embodies the look, while Libertine-Libertine, Vivienne Westwood and Sixpack France all reference anchors, pirates, portholes and ropes in their designs. Armor-Lux and YMC (You Must Create) twist the classic Breton stripe with bold dashes of red and blue stripes with differing size bands.

If homage to the ocean waves is not your cup of ‘tee’, then there are many more men’s fashion styles to choose from in the coming seasons, including striking slogans from Jack & Jones and the amusing musings of Second Son. Tribute tees to our favourite famous faces are also a popular choice this spring by the likes of La Redoute and Ringspun, while flying the flag for patriotic designs are Religion, River Island and Ben Sherman. Brand recognition is also strong with the self promoting slogans of Diesel, Superdry, Polo by Ralph Lauren and Pretty Green by Liam Gallagher.

Heavily patterned and eye-catching designs come from the new Glass range, causing a buzz with their inspirational range designed by up and coming graphic artists, wannabe designers are encouraged to send their own ideas into Glass Boutique, the online outlet. If you prefer the plain t-shirt then why not look to Won Hundred’s reversible tees, two looks for the price of one and an essential for any holidayers this spring.

The t-shirt has not only stood the test of time as a major fashion staple in men’s designer wear, but it continues to be reinvented and redesigned in fresh and fun ways. While fashion may totter between different cuts and colours and preference for plain over pattern may swing, our love for the common t-shirt will remain a constant throughout.

T-shirts have been versatile items of men’s fashion as they are practical, useful and trendy and can put with pretty much anything. Penfield are just one of many brands stocked by Glass Boutique, why not check them out
