It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don’t matter, anyhow
An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don’t know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on
Don’t think twice, it’s all right

It ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
I’m on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin’ you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin’ anyway
So don’t think twice, it’s all right

It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal
I can’t hear you anymore
I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’ all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I’m told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

I’m walkin’ down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I’m bound, I can’t tell
But goodbye’s too good a word, gal
So I’ll just say fare thee well
I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don’t mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

a page from my sketchbook. 

Advertisement Task.

I have chosen a advertisement for the “Gold Label” for Viviane Westwood spring/summer campaign. 

The image shows the well known model Kate Moss in a gallery looking vacantly into the camera. 

The use of Kate Moss in this image is a massive connotation as she is the bad girl of the model world, as she and her rock star boyfriend were drug addicts, she has a kind of bad woman feel about her as a model. 

She is also the most well known model from Britain and she is popular as the model face of britain. 

This links well with Vivianne Westwood as a brand, as she created the brand and it became and is a very british fashion brand where using Kate only enforces this. 

Vivianne Westwood is also a very “bad chic” brand as her work was extremely popular during the punk days. 

The combination of these two elements create a mood for the image itself without even knowing what is going on in the image, you get the feeling that the advertisement is controversial. 

The photograph is taken in a art gallery, however it doesn't really look like a professional photograph. The image feels like it was taken on a disposable camera as the photograph isn't crystal clear and looks like it has a high contrast. Introducing the fact that the shoot was taken without the gallery even knowing which links in with the bad girl idea I spoke about before. 

Kate holds the clutch purse with ease like it is nothing to her. Like it could be anything. The image has a strong connection to sex and beauty, as Kate Moss is a supermodel and a icon within the fashion industry therefore immediately connects with the idea of beauty, sex, attraction and desire. 

She stands with the dress draped around her lifting up the side showing more leg, even that slight hint of leg oozes sex appeal. Just because it is Kate Moss.
