Brief

Create a publication exploring hedonism within a religious, philosophical and psychology context.

 

Background/Considerations

Content Considerations

What is the capacity of human desire, particularly when at the cost of others and their own values? Explore the extreme scale of people engaging in these hedonistic activities.

 

This outcome/publication will be kept to social commentary, with experimental visuals central to the outcome. It should incorporate mixed media processes such as collage, sculpting and photography. The aesthetic should follow a religious inspired direction, subverting traditional religious imagery and connotations.

 

Physical production choices should be made to reflect the topic and discussions, eg. the front cover alike to a Bible. The tone should be kept camp and satirical. Possible additional digital outcomes exploring the made imagery could also be made, eg. virtual reality Sistine chapel covered in hedonistic photography.

 

Collaborators involve graphic designer Leon Davis and fashion photographer Ell Sirs. Both will contribute ideas from their respective areas of interest and profession and will provide developments and outputs to be incorporated into the final outcome. My role is to oversee the direction of the project, bringing together the collaborators and creating the outcome in which the collaborators contribute towards. This involves design of the final product and making it cohesive and interesting. I will also be producing outputs to be presented in this final outcome.

 

Background Considerations

The target audience is people who engage with platforms like iD and VICE and are people who enjoy coffee table books and more experimental artistic publications. They are a creative group of people that are also interested in and feel comfortable around the topic of hedonism and satirical commentary on sensitive topics such as religion. These are people of all ethnicities and classes, but within the demographic of young adults, from 18 to 30 years old.

 To Complete Website: > Name Love.jpeg created into artwork for starting page  > Lydia Article  > Joely Article  LYDIA + JOELY COLLAGE PIECES FOR ARTICLES  So - During lockdown 0.1, I found myself happily single and most definitely enjoying a little bit of me time… I was adamant that nobody was going to distract me from this intense period of isolation. One day I decided to go on a walk round the park (by myself of course). All of a sudden I find myself bumping into an old family friend’s son. This is someone who I have fancied since I was a kid, and admired from a far… We got chatting and ended up having a socially distance convo for about half an hour. FYI - I knew this person had a GF… When I got home and checked my phone, he had slid into my DMs and we started texting. One thing lead to another - he ended up confessing he’s been in love with me for years, he split up with his girlfriend the next day and we also got a private apartment in town where ...

Identity EVALUATION

Alike to GAIA EXRTH, it was disappointing not being able to complete the brief within the timescale set out. I recognise that I like working a lot on passion projects and pushing them further and further, to the point that perhaps the goals I set are unrealistic or I spend too long on one level/area of the project. In this case this was a research brief and I set out to spend a lot of time doing research and testing ideas. I found this a more difficult brief to do within the covid landscape and felt less inspired, as I wanted to go out into the world and look at things, ask people, visit places and so on. This meant this project took a back seat and by the end of the year revisiting it so late on meant there was no time to fulfil the visions I had for the project. It's exciting however to have so many projects I'm interested in to be continuing after uni as it means I can keep the momentum up of designing and producing more ideas and more work. The overall concept of this inter...

  LAYOUTS and UX I've noticed design studios use for their sites: 1. Simple white layout or black and white layout, sans-serif bold text, no specific logo or style present, scroll down box images of each project 2. Introductory logo used as image window or general logo, interaction leads into actual site  3. More interesting layout utilises UX more and guides the user through the different areas with seamless arrows  4. Either all the outputs are seen together collectively small, or they are large, independent, you have to scroll/click through to get to different briefs  STUDIOS that produce work I'm interested in: YES — Featured - Mostly do site designs and UX which is something I have only touched on - But their aesthetic and direction is really similar to where I would picture myself going, feels very artistic, has touches of fine art there rather than other studios which feel extremely one dimensional graphic design, super commercial branding  - Work with lo...
