Self Initiated 2 | Queuing

QUEUE WARDENS

Having decided to continue with the idea of queue wardens, we began to work out what we would like to feature within the project and how to go about it. We considered a number of different unspoken rules of queuing and ways which we could use these as inspiration for our outcomes.

Some of which included an anti-invasion device to ensure that no two people are stood too closely when queuing and a variety of styled stickers each highlighting the fact someone has queue jumped and to make others aware of this.

Self Initiated 2 | Returning to Queuing 

BACK TO BRAINSTORMING 

Having had our crit based on the most unpopular restaurant we decided to revert back to queuing as there was more scope with this and we had done so much research which couldn't be left unused. Therefore we began to reconsider ideas under the branch of queuing. We looked into a number of ideas, the one which stood out the most to use was becoming queue police.

FINAL VIDEO

Window cleaner by day, boogie queen by night We follow the story of a window cleaner from his day job through to his evening routine. Using this tool we have replicated the immaculate precision of cleaning windows but instead using it to leave hairless marks. Ready to dance the night away.

REVISIT FOR PORTFOLIO

After the final crit we were given feedback based on our choices within the film. From this we began to consider new which could be added in addition to and replacing elements within our exciting film. We also decided to change the music to ‘Boogie Night’ by heatwave, due to it suiting the feel of getting ready to dance the night away with his smooth shaven legs.

Self Initiated 1 | Individuals Against Branding

PHOTOGRAPHING FOR PORTFOLIO

Rather than just having the leaflets placed into the portfolio In order to raise awareness of the subconscious hold brands have on the consumer, I held protest in a shopping centre throwing flyers from a balcony to catch the attention of the public. The photographs from this will be what represent and support the development of individuals against branding from the initial triptych series.

Self Initiated 1 | Who You Trying To Impress

NO LOGO

During the initial weeks of the project I was unsure of which stance to take on the project and was left still undecided during the final critical.However to help this decision I read Naomi Klein’s ‘No Logo’ which was anti branding and the hold it has over us. Having rad this it influenced my stance of branding and to focus on the negative impacts which it has on us as the consumer.

REVISIT LOGO PHOTGRAPHS

After the final crit I knew that there was a lot of potential for the project and direction for it to be taken down which the current images weren't fulfilling. For the portfolio I wanted to photograph the 3D logos as these were a key element to the process of branding. I was really pleased with there appearance when photographed on black and would make a good teaser or feature page.

I Missed It | Revisit

THE FINAL SERIES

[hannahharrisongraphics]

Photography | I Missed It

REVIST & PHOTOGRAPH

Despite being really pleased with the overall series for ‘I Missed It’ I was uncertain on the scrapes on the plate due to it not complimenting the other two pieces as well. This being due to it appearing flat and the wrong colours, therefore I retook this image and was really pleased with the outcome and final triptych series which would be featured within the final portfolio.

Typography 2 | Songs Through Space 

REVISIT AND PHOTOGRAPHING FOR PORTFOLIO

To finalise the type pieces for songs through space ready for portfolio I printed the document full size (A2) and began to photograph this in the studio. Initially I began photographing the piece on a white background but this wasn't suited and much preferred when it was on black as it brought the picture to life and each of the elements really pop out at the viewer.

REVISIT 

When looking over the photos I felt that the image of all of the experiences didn't compliment their full potential. Therefore we decided to reshoot the group shot on a bench to provide context and show the origin and location of where these experiences would be for which the studio shot wasn't providing.

CONTEXT RESHOOT

Within our set up of the final criteria a photograph of the micro experience picnic was displayed along side the life size experience to give context to the piece. We decided to develop this and reshoot the experience ‘picnic’ used by older generations rather than a student to represent the diversity in the piece.

STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHS CONT...

In addition to the product shot we decided to capture the experiences in action, yet captured in a clean shot, therefore proving context of not only size but also function. This can especially been seen in the image where the tissue box has been lined up along side the ruler.

STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHS

The top 10 product shots selected for each of the experiences, in addition to a group shot which will later be transferred into my portfolio. I am really pleased with how each of the experienced photographed although ‘underaged drinking’ was difficult to try and make stand out and not blend into the background.
