Although I did enjoy NP and my topic choice, I felt that I created a large body of work only on one topic, whereas I could have created the equivalent amount of work on a number of topics, therefore adding to my portfolio range.
Having started on the live brief Work + Play, I would like to continue with the idea of creating illustrations that use physical objects and are much more hands on, with added elements of light, shadow, projection etc.
Other live briefs I would like to work on are the YCN student live brief for Ted Baker Autumn/Winter window display, where I plan to create a multi-media installation again using elements of projection and lighting to develop an eye-catching display. This brief is very open so allows me to truly experiment with anything I feel is relevant.
Also to continue working on the D&AD Resistance brief for Don't Panic, which I was previously working on in NP. I would like to use reflection and photography to illustrate how the conscious mind resists thoughts that the subconscious mind cannot.
Other small authorial briefs I have been toying with include one day projects where I gather and document everything that has happened to me, places I have been, things I have seen, heard etc, in a day. This will push me to work to a tight deadline and to push my ability to be as creative as possible in a short space of time. The outcome could be designed to suit the results of my day.
Déjà vu, is a project that explores past images being brought to the present day with 3D elements. Everyone knows the feeling of déjà vu, I would like to explore ways in which I can put that feeling into an image using aspects of 3D, 2D, installation and photography.
After discussing a few of my ideas in tutorial yesterday, Paul suggested that I use 'Work + Play' as a running theme throughout this brief. I didn't think of doing this and like the idea of having an overall theme, however at this stage I am unsure that this may result in producing a large body of work on the same topic again, unless I can really differentiate smaller projects within this theme?...
With the theme of 'Work + Play' I should look at the latest trend of combining the both, many shops now hold club nights and parties, changing a work space into a party place.
The group also suggested that I experiment with different locations to set up installations, and to consider hiring out places, rooms, shop etc. To be really creative with my installations and artwork I need to consider where I locate and shoot it really carefully.
