Zine Poster
Based on pseudo-identities, i interviewed someone who uses twitter to create a different personality and used the results to base my poster:
fashion film
behind the mask development work
here i have continued with the idea of using a balaclava to hide the identity and have implemented a coloured bar that coveres the eyes, this is because we use eye contact to try to understand someone more as well as recognizing those we know. The different colours would represent the different alter egos which create this one person.
FANZINE
this book is filled with old, popular fanzines and also documents the history and evolution of them, i picked it up from waterstones and it is proving to be very useful with research as well as style ideas.
character profile
this technique used by police to piece together to identity of criminals from witness testimonies can be very useful when conveying my ideas with voyeurism and alter-egos. i feel that this experiment i have done has been very successful on giving the connotation of creating a person out of many which can be related to the many personalities of someone or the many observations of a stranger.
too many ideas, not enough time
as usual i'm finding it hard keeping to one idea and therefore i will display another strong idea for my zine, it is kind of linked to my previous idea so i guess that is a good thing.
voyeurism -
everyone is compelled to notice each other, and with your attention drawn you then feel the need to watch this person and what they are doing, this then leads to you making assumptions about this person through the limited time you have watched them, creating a character profile and almost obsessing over trying to figure out everything about them even though you know it is a ridiculous thing to do.
what i want to find out is why do people do this?
is there an underlying sexual context to it or is it purely an investigative compulsion?
is it common among all cultures or is it just a western fixation?

DUSTUP poster
a design i done for the dustup after party, i thought i'd incorporate the chromo research i done for the card designs while including a hint towards the FEED poster design (split triangles) for a subconscious connection if not a conscious one.
FEED poster
visuals were inspired by Beautiful TV's show reel, i thought it was appropriate to include such visuals as alink to the agency as well as a feeling of continuity.
behind the mask
some development work focusing on a physical mask.
this was more of an experiment with the photocopier and a created background using various available materials.
this can prove to be useful in future work if i could perhaps reference relevant materials as the background with a dominating overall image giving the message away clearly, creating multiple layers to the production.

Behind the mask
hiding your true identity is something quite common in society, the most prevalent and obvious example is those who are trying to project an image of themselves which they have created through the internet either via a social networking profile; a series of videos on a video sharing website; online gaming or a blog.
the underlying question is, why?
What is wrong with who we are that we decide to create a new version either through personality, physical appearance or a total overhaul of you as a person.
this is something i am quite interested in as i find myself to be quite interested in getting know those around me either through conversation or just noticing personal habits, the challenge is now where do i take it.

christmas cards
here are my christmas card design results:
this design was based on Rothko's work with colour harmony, i feel using colours related to christmas - so deep and calming tones - i am using Season's Greetings as it is non-religious and therefore opens it to a wider audience.
this is based on Protein's chromo calendar using the colours corelating this season.
with this design i was focusing on the typography while taking more inspiratation from Rothko's work with colour on colour, i decided to keep the type in it's rawest form to create a more humane touch.
