Matt with a sticker-covered lamppost at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin - Matt, wearing sunglasses, a grey hoodie and a backpack, stands in the middle of a busy shopping street. He is next to a tall metal pole covered in stickers. At the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, visiting an exhibition about resistance design. A gallery wall covered in colourful posters. Someone stands looking up at it, another person is kneeling in front taking a photograph. Some of the Soviet-era typographic neon signs dotted around Warsaw. Looking up at two large buildings – the nearest has two red neon signs. Over a window, one sign reads Lecznica, the other, on the side of the building is a series of parallel, wavy, S-shaped lines Traditional Slovenian tiling, taken alongside the river in Ljubljana. A five story building, with terracotta-coloured render, and beautiful coloured tiles around the windows and other parts of the building.

Against a white backdrop, Casey, wearing a black suit, stands as a model walks past, wearing her gold draped mini dress. The moment Casey heard she'd won - standing in front of her garments on hangers, she lifts both hands to her mouth in surprise. Casey Dillon, AJ Odudu and Vernon Kay stand together in a bright, white studio, with Casey's garments on hangers behind them - the gold dress and a dark-coloured suit.
