For my project to go into the next stage, I would have to take a back seat on how the visual side of the project was going and focus on the concept and topics that my work are going to talk about. Anthony suggested instead of just vaguely looking at women’s right that I make it more specific. Looking at different subjects within. For example: body image, menstrual cycle and more serious case topics like rape.
The Perfect Body
So, I ran with the idea of body image and how there this idea that there’s this “perfect body”. I went for this imagery, most model are called hangers thats essential their job to make the clothes look good. Instead of putting the same body type I went for three types of body types that are contrasting. The middle body would be seen as the body to have today whilst the other two opposite from the middle one.
The Perfect Face
Following with the same idea of body image. I went on to make a gif. The original idea for this gif was to comment on plastic surgery but overall I don’t think that the message came across.
PERIOD.
Moving away from the topic of body image, I wanted to make a piece about menstrual cycle. So I went with an obvious imagery, its really simple. Would probably make a variation of this.
Broken Face
For this piece the main idea was that I wanted to enlarge certain bits of a persons face. Don’t know what how it could relate with body image but I needed to get down just to get a visual. Also wanted the piece to have texture to, so I added a load of overlays of cello tape and crumpled paper.
