I'm not so sure about how
productive it was, but I did decided to go with the word asunder, with the
image of the letter falling apart! My thoughts were that anarchy was too
obvious and generic of a word to deal with this particular theme!
After a chat with one of the
tutors, I'm not so sure about what I have been doing, which is good in one
sense, at least now I know I need to push things a lot more... but I was VERY
and am now a bit confused as to what I should do next.
Her thoughts were that anarchy will
be too difficult. She explained to me that the task is not to be illustrative
and stressed the point that I must concentrate on the letter form itself to
convey the message/word.
[ I used photo shop (not too
well) to layer coins on top of one another, leaning inwards to try and create
the form of A.]
Got interrupted yesterday, the
college was closing and as my laptop is out of action I had to return this
morning and finish what I wanted to blog yesterday.... It was suggested to me
that perhaps I change my word. Look at absorbed and relate it to the brief!! At
first I wasn't sure and told my tutor I was going to stick with asunder. She
explained that I could get something really interesting out of it, but I stood
on the whole asunder theme!!
However, I was thinking it over
last night, did a brainstorm, generated some ideas and now I'm thinking it was
pretty good advice. Absorbed... How we the people had become a nation of
materialistic mofos and now during the recession have become absorbed by the
lack of money. Absorbed with our own self, ones wellbeing.
Making my letter form out of
sponge and have it seeping back into it was a suggesting, a good one, suggested
to me yesterday. I definitely think there is something there.
I'm going to develop my ideas
over the next 2 weeks, during Easter holidays and when I come back I will have
not only the word but the whole idea and be able to work on perfecting it for
that week
