I carried out work experience with the Daily Express. While I was there I had to edit work along with the Section Editor Caroline Jowett, along with doing quite a lot of PA work for Caroline, I had the opportunity to write my own article which was published in the newspaper on November 25th 2013.

I have picked out my best photography from my unit in college and have explained them below with the pictures underneath. All of which were taken in the time frame of September – December 2013.

L’Oreal Photoshoot – This photo was taken by me and edited by me in Photoshop in order to achieve the affect I wanted to which was time consuming but I am very proud of this work that I done through the photo-shoot.

L’Oreal Photoshoot – Secondly, this photograph was taken from the same photo-shoot and is one of my favourites. Editing was completed to make the image seem smoother than it was and make the photograph look as professional as possible.

Photogram – This form of photography was amazing with the way the picture was originally produced by water and light. To get the wanted effect with each section being a different colour, I first had to edit the original image to remove any dust or specs and then had to individually add them into a collage piece in which I changed each ones colour and got the effect you can see below.

Light Writing – I found this very interesting as your using light to draw something which is then produced through the camera of the time frame. This image had to be edited to due to the light not be produced in certain areas. Nonetheless, this was a very exciting form of photography to study.

Through making myself available, I was able to work with Freelance Journalist Mel Fallowfield who was doing an investigation for Closer Magazine. We investigated the act of underage botox and how easy someone underage can have botox by speaking to professional doctors and consultants.

Like most 16 year olds, Layla Chisholm is fresh faced, and yet a Closer investigation reveals it's shockingly easy to find doctors prepared to give her Botox.

These days celebrities see no shame in boasting about their cosmetic procedures - surgery fan Katie Price has even admitted: "Botox is like going shopping to me".

Indeed Botox is the most popular nonsurgical treatment in the UK. The industry is worth an estimated £18m a year in Britain and it accounts for 38% of all cosmetic procedures worldwide.

It's injected into the skin primarily to smooth out wrinkles by temporarily paralysing facial muscles and is widely used by celebrities.

But worryingly a growing number of teenagers are now having regular injections of Botox in a bid to prevent wrinkles forming. Known as 'teen-toxing' it's believed to have fuelled a 15% rise in demand for the procedure.

According to clinical psychologist Dr Abigael San, many teens see Botox as a way of keeping up with their idols.

She tells Closer: "Teenagers hear celebrities talking about Botox all the time and there's huge pressure for them to look physically perfect. Teenagers are very impressionable and if their self-esteem is low they can see it as a quick fix. But this can set up an addictive pattern. It's up to doctors to put their foot down."

It's a sentiment echoed by GP Chris Lyons, cosmetic doctor at the Heathrow Clinic and research fellow at Imperial College, who told Closer: "If any girl of 16 came to me I would think she had psychological issues to imagine that she needed Botox - it would be wrong to treat someone like that. Sixteen year old girls simply don't need Botox for aesthetic reasons."

As yet there is no age restriction - but Botox can only be administered by any licensed practitioner, such as a doctor or a dentist or a specialised nurse. However, most doctors and surgeons consider it unethical to inject anyone under 18 unless it's for medical purposes.

There are possible side effects from bruising to an allergic reaction, redness and even double or blurred vision if it's injected around the eyes.

Despite this, Closer found it was worryingly easy for a fresh-faced teen to find professionals willing to administer Botox.

We went undercover with 16-year-old Layla Chisholm, from Essex, and shockingly it took just a handful of phone calls to find a doctor willing to give the college student Botox. Out of the three London salons we went on to visit, after consultation two agreed to agreed to administer the procedure.

The first doctor who agreed to do it was Dr Kerry Ioannides, who works at Body Beauty salon in Palmers Green, north London. He didn't ask to see any proof of her age and accepted she would be 17 in February. Despite admitting Layla was young to have the procedure and saying he was "cautious" because "it can be an addictive pattern," he did agree to administer Botox and lip fillers. The total cost would have been over £500.

In the second clinic, The Blythe Road Dental Practice in Brook Green, west London, Layla was given a five-minute consultation. Dentist George Stramotas then suggested injecting Botox into her forehead and between her eyebrows, at a cost of £280. He knew she was 16 at the time.

He said it wouldn't hurt but there might be some bruising, before adding: "it's ok doing it on someone her age....it's not permanent. If you don't want to frown for the rest of your life, you'll need to do it every four months. The advantage of doing it is if you don't frown you're not going to have lines."

When approached by Closer prior to publication, Dr Kerry Ioannides declined to comment.

However, George Stramotas said: "We don't investigate people, we're just out to provide a service. We did say we need to send out a consent form before carrying out any treatment. In this day and age, most people [who want Botox] are not 18 and under because it's very expensive and they don't go for it. You don't give Botox to someone who's got wrinkles, you can give Botox to smooth the forehead. This is one [person] that came to us and I said I'd have a look and see. I mentioned Botox is not permanent, it's reversible."

But when Closer took our investigation to a top cosmetic surgeon recommended by the British Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) Dr Marc Pacifico, he was horrified.

He told us: "In my opinion it's unscrupulous to agree to do it [perform Botox] on a girl of that age. I have never seen a 16 year old who warrants treatment with Botox for cosmetic reasons. Although it isn't illegal as such, I'm shocked that doctors would use it. Theoretically early Botox might have an unwanted long term effect, in that if muscles aren't used they can waste away."
Additional reporting by Layla Chisholm.
Layla adds: "I simply can't believe how easy it was. I haven't got any wrinkles but they were still happy to treat me. It's really shocking - I don't need it. I think any teenager who wanted Botox would already feel bad about themselves, and I reckon a doctor agreeing to do it would make their confidence even worse."

And as Layla's mother, Zoe Chisholm, 41, adds: "They shouldn't be doing this. She's far too young, she's only a kid, she hasn't got any lines on her face, it's really shocking."

For part of my work within college, I had to conduct a personal interview. My choice was Ricky Grover, who played Andrew Cotton on Eastenders. I chose him because I had his contact and he is a family friend who was willing to do this for me. In addition, I thought this would be a good idea as he is someone in the public eye and has a lot to say about his life; he went very in depth with me about his personal life and what has happened which I felt privileged to be a part of.

Presently I am not able to upload the video but if needed I can supply by email as soon as possible.

Following the Ricky Grover Interview, in college we had to write up the interviews we conducted in a format that would be suitable for newspaper and magazines.
Below are the screenshots of my written up article from Ricky Grover in order.

For part of my college work, in a group we planned and conducted a radio news bulletin for our station Music FM in a way that we thought would suit our target audience of teenagers to late 20's.

Again, for college work I had to conduct a Vox Pop Interview, which then I completed an article in the style I think Vox Pops would be set out in a magazine or newspaper.

For this, I went out into the town of Harlow and asked people how they feel about unemployment rates since this subject was popular at the time of the unemployment rates decreasing but youth unemployment was increasing.

In this section is the best part of my page layout course in which I am proud to show.

In college, one of our units was Page Layout in which in groups we had to design a brochure for a charity – my charity was Elbow Grease, and each individual had their own 2 or 3 pages to complete designing. Below is the contents page I designed which I liked and thought was presented professionally but easily readable as the people who work for this charity had learning difficulties.

Services Page – I was allocated this page to do also which I feel was presented with colour and professionally in order for everyone to read. The information is exactly is what needed for the public to know the charity and the exact details.

For part of my Journalism course at Harlow College, we had to design a flyer advertisement. I believe with my flyer advertisement I have stuck to a colour scheme and presented it simply because a flyer should be simple to read and get to the point quickly, e.g. a sale as that is what the public want to know more.

In my college work, I had to create a scrapbook with articles that I annotated and explained that were linked with the laws and regulations of journalism.

I researched articles in a word document that I chose and used for the scrapbook:
