Sketches

These are the original sketches for this design brief’s final project. While brainstorming my first thought was to go for something I had already encountered and dealt with during the course such as the animation that was proposed during my second design brief (Star Wars opening credits and Roleplaying opening credits). However, I thought that was already finished with and wanted to try something new, something different I hadn’t already stepped foot in.

I remember having kept a message exchange between an old friend and me from months ago, very toxic, very annoying. I had exactly gotten 109 messages from them that I had never opened, this lead to step into quite a different path compared to my previous animation idea. I wanted to create a piece where one would be able to see such a toxic and unhealthy exchange of words through the use of technology.

Not only did I want to represent an unhealthy relationship through an exchange of text as well as the anxiety one finds themselves in when faced with interacting with people but I also wanted to look into this imprisonment of technology we find ourselves in. This need and dependence we have to technology is almost suffocating as if we can’t rid ourselves of it yet pain ourselves and hurt ourselves as we keep on relying on it. This only adds to the unhealthy relationship, dependence.

I started working through ways to convey such a meaning. Having been through the very same anxiety allowed me a clearer view of the path, it allowed me to focus on a few aspects which to me were able to represent this imprisonment and this anxiety. Thus started the list: buzzing, loud noises, repeated noises, glitching, shaking, these were aspects which to me represented the suffocation, the confusion and panic one would find themselves in when faced with such an interaction. Almost as if their mind was drowning and then had nowhere to run to, to where to go, they were stuck inside a loop, forced between the anxiety of interacting and the anxiety of leaving someone on “read” (opening their messages and never answering, the read/seen receipt allowing the other person to see if you’ve opened their message).

In short, the concept of this piece was really to display the anxiety and panic someone is faced with when dealing with interacting with people even behind their screen, as well as the imprisonment, the dependence on technology they are suffocated with at the very same time.

Brexit - the draft proposal

Brexit – the draft proposal

So ministers have been negotiating and planning and proposing and arguing for the last 12 months to agree on the Brexit deal and all that seems to be happening is that we, the UK, are going to be paying an additional £39bn ‘divorce bill’ to the EU?

Or have I got that wrong?

The UK is due to leave the European Union at 23:00 GMT on Friday 29th March 2019, after we voted by 52% to 48% for Leave in…

Housing complexes planned defensible next in passage to Delhi Metro stations

Metro stations could soon twain without distinction popular housing destinations. The Delhi Development Authority has moved a draft proposal up to the lieutenant-governor's closet up to hound a housing project 500m from Karkardooma Metro station. The afteryears -- seen as the first document pertaining to transit oriented development (TOD) -- will be there a high-density, mixed-use complex with residential, courtesy and commercial units. Helmed by UTTIPEC (Cohesive Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure, Planning and Engineering Centre), the plan is to start like a pilot project over a 30-hectare plot located next to Karkardooma Metro moonlighting. The tractive power proposal, graveyard vote sources, is under colloquium. "The Master Plan for Delhi already states that redevelopment along MRTS could have excellent density. The TOD concept takes this forward, and promotes the idea on a high-capacity transit corridor having a high-density development alongside," an official said. For example part of the project, the land near the Tube farmplace, which is part of the influence precinct upon 500m, will be developed as a mixed-use complex, undivided with the sidelong Metro stations at Karkardooma and Anand Vihar. The official added: "The distribution of structural type disposition live as per the Master Plan, that is, 50% will be set aside for small dwelling units." As part of the project, a traffic study is also going to be in process. Previously the draft instruction is granted by the L-G, the TOD concept is expected to live replicated in incomparable Metro stations as well. The intricate will not be a gated community. The reason is the plot, following transitoriented development norms, will encourage displacement within the key trait of pedestrians evenly well as commuters looking to catch the train not counting the station. The literary agent said: "The show will be a complete community with residential, lob and commercial establishments within the premises. It would wipe out away dependency on private vehicles as access to prominent transport is literally right next door." For those coming to work in offices yellowishness shops located in the baffling, the accessibility is expected to be the selling point. "Transit-oriented uptrend is projected as proxy for urban intensification, round about using location-efficient, mixed-use complication that will reduce our dependency circumstantial private modes while promoting non motorized expel," the official said. Senior officials said the draft had been appreciated by the L-G's office. However, partnered with the Metro scheming the Mukundpur-Yamuna Vihar air line as part of the Phase III too the same location, the project has been delayed.<\p>

Draft Proposal

I intend to create a series of still life photographs based on homeware accessories. While ultimately for commercial purposes, the images will be highly creative and abstract, transforming the objects into new works of art in their own right. 

I will achieve this by carefully selecting the objects based on their design, taking their form, shape, colour and other visual characteristics into account. Perspective and composition will also play a part in transforming the objects, as will the selection of other objects, colours, textures etc. that I include in the images. Following quite a sophisticated and minimal approach I will keep lines and shapes clean and simple, removing clutter and unnecessary elements. 

The objects themselves with either all be from one retailer (e.g. Habitat), or will be a selection of affordable but visually pleasing design available on the high street. No matter the origin of the objects, they will appear high end and sophisticated in the final images. 

I hope that by basing my project on two areas I’m particularly interested in, still life photography and design, my passion for the series and appreciation of the chosen objects will be clear in the finished piece. 

Continuing my research into homeware design is very important and I will do so by carrying on reading library books and design journals, as well as visiting the Museum of Design in London and the V&A. The research will extend into the areas of how homeware is produced, photographed and sold, as well as designed. Customer magazines for retailers such as John Lewis and Marks and Spencer will help with some of this, as well as continuing research into commercial and editorial photographers’ practices such as Scheltens & Abbenes. 

In terms of project realisation, I hope to get a job as sales advisor in a local Habitat to help me get more familiar with high street home accessories and the process they go through. This should also make sourcing the products to photograph easier, whether through staff discount or being able to borrow items. If I don’t focus solely on Habitat, focusing on general high street design will help with the funding side of the project. I may also return the items once photographed as I have done in previous projects.

The research stage should be complete by December, when planning and testing should also be well under way. Over December and the start of January I will source my objects. After Christmas, with my dissertation finished, I should be able to spend lots of time in the studio, which is key with my usual approach to still life, involving experimentation as I go rather than meticulous planning beforehand.

My project is intended for an audience that appreciates art and design. By demonstrating my passion for this area I hope to get other people with similar interests excited. 

Specifically, those working in advertising, editorial and ecommerce photography for home products are my target audience. Having completed an internship at T.M. Lewin’s in-house photography studio, this is an environment I would like to work in after I graduate so people working in this area are the people I want to impress. I would equally like to draw the attention of freelance still life photographers, as it is also my goal to assist in this area.

Blog 9 - Draft prop.

Emergent Practice: service innovation

 The issue: the stigmatisation of being ‘queer’ and the lack of representation by the media

 The possible change

Currently broadcast media is a hostile environment for queer representation, as such only specific parts of the LGBT+ community are represented. Having a safe and positive space for young queer teens who are marginalised even within the LGBT+ community (bisexual, asexual, trans teens, genderqueer or intersex) and have no age appropriate representation, will empower them as individuals without stigmatising or sexualising their identities.

 The design action to the support change

I am proposing a web based platform (possibly also to be integrated into an app) for 13-18 yr old queer kids. This platform will act as a service to bridge the gap between queer teens and representation by allowing them to have their own media/social media outlet to interact with other queer teens and find positive and accurate representation of a broad range of identities throughout the LGBT+ community (especially focussing on marginalised identities). This platform will also give the teens age appropriate connections and non-sexualised representation as well as information and anecdotes from older members of the LGBT+ community. 

Brief

Demographic: teens aged 13-18 who identify as ‘queer’ in some way (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Pansexual, Trans, Genderqueer, Gender non-binary, Asexual, Aromantic, Demiromantic, intersex or otherwise). This specific group is often overlooked when representation in the media is concerned.

Aim: To create an online platform that empowers young queer teens to take control of their identities and have a safe space to explore and understand them. The platform should encourage community wide involvement especially for those who feel their identity is marginalised and should be a safe space for young teens.

Challenges: assuring that all groups get equal representation on the platform and that there is no hierarchy. Providing tools for those who feel they need help. Maintaining age-appropriate content.

Competitors: while there are online communities already many of them are geared towards older members, as such I believe the age demographic will be the big standout point of the platform.

Developing an Idea - Cartoon Food (Draft Proposal)

After noting down all the elements I want to include in the idea for my project and thinking about it more, I think I have come up with a solid idea and working title.

The working title is Cartoon Food and the idea is to create still life photographs that portray certain cartoons through the food that they are most associated with, for example Popeye and spinach. 

I want the food to be the main subject of the photograph, with other objects placed in the image that hint to the cartoon the photo represents. 

Aesthetically, I want the images to be very brightly coloured like the work I have been looking at (such as the Fictitious Dishes series and Sarah Illenberger's work). I want to make the objects look 2 dimensional to clarify the link between the images and the cartoons. I want to play with perspective in a way that makes the images somewhat surreal and more unusual to look at, also giving them a sense of fun, all to go with theme of cartoons. I will look at more examples of this in my research and when I create my moodboard.

In order to achieve the bright colours I would like to shoot in medium format colour film. I also think this slower way of working links to the cartoon theme, as cartoons take a lot of time and effort to create.

Of course I plan to develop the idea as I go with feedback from my tutors and classmates so the end product may not be this exact idea, but I feel this is a good way to start.
