Finished About Me Poster + Analysis
Futurism, technology, inner and outer space, sound, noise, clarity, abstraction, pop, Adobe, nature, city, ego, perseverance through confusion.
I understand that the project is introducing us to new tools and software, but i found defining myself through material objects to be just a bit dirty. Redeeming features were being able to use a camera, adding at least one level of filtration between me and this acute, difficult subject, using CS4 and applying compositional values learned throughout foundation to present day.....

Analysis after Hand in date.
Comments:
Images organized and integrated.
Contrast and colour used to place more emphasis on certain images.
Love of the abstract and sublime, science and other universes.
Clean, neat, clever use of space.
Hinting at golden age cinema.
Music, album art, space.
My Poster appears to have fulfilled the brief. The comments received indicate that the objects i chose, and the collation of them, have managed to emit the right sort of information defining aspects of my world. However the poster is missing key things that i neglected to think about at the time. The idea of a dreamer, spirituality + consciousness and altered states, electronic / abstract music - dancing - an idea of the infinite, minimalism...
I feel that i took the brief far to literally. Thinking time was reduced due to an inability to digest the brief and think laterally. Also having material objects that convey the right message and also have good aesthetic and compositional values is almost none existent. I.e. How do you convey spirituality without defining yourself as one thing or another. Eastern traditions = buddah, dali lama..., Cristian values = jesus, cross, wreath.... Either way, the signal is confused or too specific. I wanted to leave this sort of thing alone as it would project things i don't want to project.
