Could create a sort of map of the gallery space - crowded with pieces - interactive - colouring in
have main works bigger - stars on map
- building facade, add in main lobby space, other important facades - with paintings etc. (how would I tackle multiple floors?)
- simplify works - educational and interactive - keep it simple, not too cluttered
- Or have key works, space around the page - somehow interlink
= reacting to each other - or interacting within space - have outside scene - place works within it
- animate works - or make a fake town where these are the major landmarks or simplified wheres wally vibes (for young children) -
- Page covered in lots of interlinking characters some in gallery some not - colour in ones that are there - when you spot them
- some sort of maze or comic strip which includes characters from pieces
Action on Hearing Loss
- Really interesting - would like to read into the case studies and explore it deeper
- not sure it will give me the freedom to work in the way that I have identified
- seem set on making the case studies the focus - couldn't make a bold shocking image - feel like because they aren't well established they are looking for something softer
- Cold take a case study - illustrate the effects of hearing loss over a photograph - raise a question?
(rather than making a bold statement?) - could be an interesting change - illustration (works well here)
- Could focus on teens - identify still a problem - overlooked - how to spot it
- If I made two pieces - could also make a moving image ??? - how to spot it - animate photo with moving illustrated parts - pan around it
Socio - Political Poster
- Really interesting - love posters from past finalists - fun to work with simple shapes - vector graphics
- Would be a good brief to help me follow my aim of simplification - taking a complex idea and boiling it down
- Don't like how open it is - what issue would I focus on? - what am I interested in
- Capital punishment, prison system, Environment and wastage, migration workers importance, education importance, Anxiety and depression - inspiring poster to look at gives hope, UK (and US) prison system - comment - woman's prisons - institutionalisation - routine becoming life in prison can't survive without it, deafness - problem - how to identify it - is this a big enough world problem for this brief? Probs not, Gender neutrality - enforcing an open upbringing of neutrality (gender stereotypes stunning potential - told what they can and can't do - ingrained in them) - not plating ideas in children's heads, children and children's health is something I'm interested in - something about adoption system, child abuse, how malleable children are at a young age - something small growing with them as they grow (effecting them mentally) starts as a small seed blossoms into a larger mental issue, eating disorders, animal extinction, unhealthy dieting, bullying - not just restricted to children
- (but is it supposed to make a point to stimulate the everyday viewer to think or state my own opinion?, Both?
Penguin Design Awards
- Sounds interesting - like that I am given something to explore and research already - would probably prefer to design a poster but might be interesting to think about a whole cover - how I can tie the back to the front - more of a challenge with typography etc.
- Would just choose one book from this brief/ design either one or two covers for it
- Which book sounds the most interesting to me ?
- the most impressive books are very original - illustrators craft their own imagery rather than taking already constructed imagery from movies, old covers etc. - PUT A FRESH TWIST ON THE BOOK
- Maybe don't look at any of the past covers for whichever book I choose ?
- Could be cool to again play with vector graphics
I really want to work with moving image again and the hearing loss brief is the only one that will allow me to do this. I think I could do something interesting with this but I might be pushed for time and I don't like how closed the brief is - maybe I should wait until the next brief and instead do the socio political brief and find something that I am really interested in (that I can continue to explore)? I really want to do at least one socio political poster so I am going to do that plus a book cover or a hearing loss campaign poster. (then my second thing will be an edition to one of them - moving image of campaign poster, a redesign of my book cover or another sociopolitical poster).
