Assignments 1B and 1C of the new semester!

For this assignment we had to apply Sam Gosling’s Snoop Theory to a partner’s belongings and decide what we believed their personality, tastes and influences were.



From what I can gather my partner lives away from home to with possibly one or two other girls? No boyish vibes about the flat!

The pink colour scheme and floral bunting in her room would suggest she is a very 'girly girl'?

I'm guessing that she is not a messy person but definitely not as fanatic as I am about organization. A couple of things were lying around her room and the bottom of her wardrobe seemed to be a place to put anything which didn’t have a specific home of it’s own. Quite a relaxed, laid back person? I did notice however that her shoes were very organised in the wardrobe so I'm guessing she takes pride in them and loves shoes? I liked how they were paired and all facing the front! A lot of thought put into how they are displayed. Also the Topshop shoebox on a shelf elsewhere in her room suggests shoes are something she is prepared to spend money on.

She appeared to be a very sentimental person, keeping concert tickets, photographs with friends and some photographs from her childhood. From her pictures with her friends I assumed she is a fun and outgoing person as she is smiling and laughing in most of them. This suggests she is the type of person who is always up for a laugh. Perhaps the odd drink with friends judging by the Jagermeister bottle she kept as a memento.

From various images on her wall I could tell she was interested in photography and graphics, maybe a bit of collage? Definitely arty. Lots of colour!

Robert Pattinson fan judging by the poster and supported by the Twilight book and film!

Could Bambi be her favourite Disney film? There were a couple of images on her wall.

From the nail varnish and tweezers I'm guessing she takes pride in her appearance? Make-up bag and various hair products would suggest this too.

By displaying personal belongings, for example on her windowsill, she perhaps likes to customise her space and make it her own? Photos and images on the walls suggest she likes to make things homely.

A watch similar to the style of products sold at shops such as Urban Outfitters suggests she have a keen interest in fashion? In particular is she influenced by reto styles? The watch is a traditional Casio model.

Again, candles, doll, My Little Ponies and ice-cream cones also suggest she is a very feminine girl. The ponies give the impression she does not shy away from her youth.

Her DVD collection appears to be quite small suggesting she would rather have a night out than a night in? Also the majority of DVD's are comedy. This may be something she enjoys.

I picked up on a diverse taste in music. Not a specific taste as she has a Jay-Z poster, and in contrast, a ticket from a Frightened Rabbit concert.





I wonder what I got right…
