On this day I attended college in "Club to Catwalk: 80's fashion", like I had seen at the exhibition. I kept with a neon pink theme and wore fluffy leg warmers, neon pink top and bright pink armbands/headbands. The neon theme I wore would've fitted well into the early 80's pop dress code. 

In a group of 4 we created a themed 80's club based on our 80's attire, therefore we created an early 80's pop club called "Illuminate", we chose this name to symbolise the lights and colours that would be found within the club.

We created wooden signage boards to present our club Illuminate. These boards showed illustrations of tapes, records, music notes, neon colours, peace signs and patterns of the era. I placed the club name in italic over my main illustration of a peace sign.

We presented our 80's club to the other students in our class with a short performance to Cindy Lauper - Girls just wanna have fun. We danced in and presented our club with "Illuminate, an early 80's pop club, open day and night" our presentation displayed a bright, fun, aerobic style that followed with our early 80's pop club culture that we wanted.

I found that getting involved this way made it a lot easier to be inspired as your brain is already under the influence of the culture and style of that time. I feel that this was a very effective research method which kept your mind easily with the research topic, and would happily take part in more research methods like this.
