Results of the Semifinal

Hi!

After months of searching for the perfect contestants, helping and judging, we found our top 3.

Mangun, Manda and Carrie, no matter what happens, you definitely deserve to be here and you can be proud of how you improved and what you achieved.

I asked you, the readers, who of those amazing three shall be the winner of this academy. Here's what they said:

Unfortunately, some readers thought it might be funny to vote several times. believe me, it isn't. For example, one person voted 4 times for Manda. I wasn't able to check all double votes before the poll closed down and afterwards it is impossible, so I can't use these results.

This means that the entries are even more important!

Before posting the results, I'd like to mention that I was a little bit disappointed by the non-existing punctuality of Manda and Mangun. This was your last chance! With tha being said, let's get to the results.

Runway Task inspired by Marimekko

Carrie

The Semifinals!

Hello, girls and boys!

We're narrowed down to three contestants.

Welcome my amazing semifinalists: Carrie (Cheekycazbo1), Manda (MandaMichalka) and Mangun (mangunmeetan)! To increase the difficulty, you will be given three tasks this week! Give your best, and you'll have the possibility of getting into the final!

But not only we as the judges will decide, it's your time to get active aswell! I will put up a voting in the sidebar where you can vote your personal winner. Our decision who will be in the final will be placed upon both the judges' opinions AND the voting. You are just allowed to vote once. Please don't make aggressive advertisements that others shall vote you, dear contestants. But it's ok if you write the link in your presentation.

Task 1: Runway Task

As a model, you'll be booked for runway shows where you have to know how to shine with your long legs& pretty faces! Therefore, your first task is to create a runway shoot. You will be starring at a runway show held by the finnish (mainly interior) designer Marimekko. He is well known for his brightly coloured fabrics.

To adverrtise his new interior collection, he has decided to deliever a haute couture runway show in a big hall next to his headquarter. The models shall wear unique clothes inspired by his prints.

The graphic has to show the pose at the end of the runway which should be fitting with the clothes.

Can you satisfy Marimekko?

Task 2: Cover Shooting

Guess what? The creative director of ELLE approached me. We will be flying to Copenhagen tomorrow because you'll be shooted there. They need a new covergirl! Show your natural sexyness, your female side and your elegance. You shall wear a short dress and jewellery, if you like statement jewellery.
The graphic shall to show you on the cover of ELLE, of course the magazine title, issue, date and important headlines have to be included. Just take a look at the last few magazines, to get inspired. And don't forget: our plane takes off tomorrow morning!

Task 3: Editorial Shoot
Connections are great, aren't they? I've asked Enrique badulescu to do an editorial shoot with you, girls. And he said yes - under one condition - he wants to shoot you with this background:

He allowed you to choose your own clothes and a wonderful makeup as long as it looks beautiful and fits the scenery. Your task is to create a graphic with this background, amatching pose, outfit&makeup.
Don't disappoint Enrique!

Good luck, girls!
Your deadline is Wednesday, the 26th June.
This is the semifinal and I do NOT want you to be late.
If you have any questions concerning the tasks, don't hesitate to comment and ask.
