Brief

Design a fashion photography publication on transhumanism.

 

Background/Considerations

Content Considerations

We are creating another dimension, another human nature before our eyes. Transhumanism is the concept that the human condition could be developed and enhanced using technologies, to modify our intellect and physiology. The reality of such philosophy has been picking up speed in the last few decades, and bodes the question, how far will we go and how far is too far? Rhianna’s fashion photography explores a future of greater transhumanism and presents what this world may look like. You must design the publication to showcase this photography series, approaching the aesthetic using experimentation, colour, and futuristic and technological motifs and detail.

Research should be done into the topic of transhumanism and how this has been explored in art and design. You should look at existing fashion photography publications and both experimental and minimalist futuristic graphic design.

This brief is directed as a collaboration, but the outcome must fulfil the directions of the fashion photographer, as a publication to showcase their work.

Essential deliverables include the front and back cover of this publication and the layout of the photographs inside.

If there is free time upon completion of these essential deliverables, there should be additional design and concepts around the production of the publication, including paper stocks and production processes. The production costs for this can be high. There should also be manipulations and adaptations of the photographs, such as face mapping, to enhance the transhumanism aesthetic.  

Background Considerations

The target audience is young adults, ranging from 20 to 30 years old, who are interested in notions of transhumanism, the future and the role of technology, and fashion. They are creative individuals and engage with fashion, photography, design and print. They are from a wide range of ethnicities, classes and backgrounds.

 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...
