Week 3 - Develop mock ups

week 3
Development of thumbnails to posters

This week we began turning our thumbnails into sketches that will better represent our poster. I also began to do some digital experiments as I found it quicker and more clear than poor drawing. I developed some of my earlier thumbnails into digital mock ups while also developing some new idea. I am feeling good about where my project is headed but still unsure on what visual style I will take on. 

Week Two - Visual synthesis

Week two
image testing

This week we began turning our trigger words into thumbnails/ imagery. 
I investigated a number of words which helped to trigger my thumbnails. The words or phrases were investigating a number of different ideas and symbols around the negatives of social media.

Things like: 

• deception, brainwash, blinding from real life
• distraction
• social image, self esteem, social self worth
• social media lens, living through social media
• take over, mind pollution, control power, addiction

These led to a number of thumbnails and mock up sketches of ways to represent these idea visually. 

Week one - Research

Week One Research 

This week I chose the topic I will be doing my assignment on, I chose to look into the negative sides of social media. 
I have started looking at existing examples in my workbook while also developing a list of trigger words along with a number of visual symbols and cues to go along with them. I have also looked at some articles around the negative effects of social media. Using these I have highlighted phrases and works which inform my idea. Next step is to start thumb nailing some of these works into images.
