Week 3, Session 1

30/7
Imagery

We started the class with a lecture on photography so that we can use it well if we end up using it for our projects.

At this stage we were just critiquing and working through our text. We also attempted to create some imagery for each spread.



We found creating images really hard as we felt the text still wasn't quite there so we just kept working through that.

The lecture was really useful but at this point we are pretty keen to not use people or actual objects as we feel it is too easy to get across emotions and, as we found from today's class, imagery can end up disconnecting people if they see something and can't relate to it. We were using images of businessman to represent the city and straight away everyone disconnected with the spread as they had assumed it was talking only about old businessman. We are thinking abstract images might suit us best.
