Deciding studio proposals

After discussing my design proposals with Stephen, I selected the theme that I felt most attracted to (what makes a house a home), and discussed various approaches to finalise a final piece.

One approach we spoke about was, besides capturing my families rooms, extending Relander's compositions by capturing objects within a room, how they can create a sense of identity and place by characterising an individual without needing to reveal their face. In turn this can be developed further by styling the photograph as CCTV images, bringing to mind the government surveillance of "Big Brother" within George Orwell's novel 1984.

Through these different approaches- I will have a selection of designs I can choose and narrow down, perhaps presenting them in a book format. And discussing my studio proposals has allowed me to reflect and expand the style exhibited in my artists and create something abstract in the world of graphic design.
