Tabitha Soren - Surface Tension.

I really like this project because of how different it is to anything that I normally see - it is a project based on human interaction with technology and how people leave their imprint on the things that they use. Tabitha has the following statement about this project on her website:


This unusual way of communicating interaction between man and technology is really interesting to me because of how it is something that happens to me within my daily life - I am constantly wiping my phone screen to make it look presentable and therefore feel like this project is very relatable.

Here are some examples of Soren's work from her "Surface Tension" project:


As this project looks upon things that go unnoticed (the marks left behind by fingers), I feel like my project loosely relates to it as I am trying to focus on specific parts of a person's face to hide other aspects for one reason or another.

Final pin up session (with feedback).

Image
Today we had our last pin up session to get feedback from the people in our class - this has been really helpful in the past to allow me to see how I could improve my work for the exhibition. I decided on placing quite a few images on the wall because I think my project is a lot more effective when multiple images are placed together. Here is what I placed on the wall: It wasn't the best place to put work up on the walls as there was a lot of marks from where people had drawn on the board, so was a slight distraction I thought. I decided to place 3 different paper types on the wall to see if people thought they worked well together: acetate, semi gloss and metallic. I also placed some images on top of others to reflect the meaning of the project and to give it more depth. We then were placed into groups and had to answer some questions about people's work: 1) Can you name the theme? 2) How do the images relate to the theme? 3) Is the choice of scale, sequence or

Making a zine.

Image
I spoke to Richard today about whether I should buy a portfolio box for the exhibition to show the fashion work I have been creating alongside my FMP, and he instead suggested making a zine to present this work instead. I really like this idea because it is an easy way for someone to look at my work in one go as they can simply flick through the book. This is how I intend to print it: For this, I have used Photoshop to select colours from the images themselves and use this colour to create a block page, which I think will work well as it will make the final piece look brighter and more engaging. I have chosen an icy blue colour for the front and back cover because I wanted to have a really stand out book that people would want to look at - I was choosing between this colour and a bright pink; I decided against pink because I know Conor's book has a pink cover and I don't want there to be competition between the 2. I experimented with a few other

Shopping around for an A1 frame.

Image
I have already bought a silver frame for my A2 print, to relate to the mirrors I have used within my project, and just need to find one for my A1 print. I have emailed a few places to see the types of prices they were quoting and then I went from there. I initially asked about black frame as this is what I thought I wanted: I received quite a few emails very quickly after asking about frames - they all seemed quite expensive (seeing as I have had to pay a lot for my prints and therefore don't have a lot of money to spend on framing them) and so I was wondering what to do. I then realised that black would look way too harsh for my prints because it would make them look darker and could create a totally different meaning to my project. I decided to instead go with white and so I emailed 'On The Wall' back and asked if they had any white frames, seeing as they had some really good prices: Unfortunately, they didn't have any A1 frames as can be seen in the re
