During what could be interpreted as a ‘week off’ uni, my housemates and I decided to each set a 24 hour brief each. As there are 5 of us doing Graphic Communication in my house, we set briefs for every working day in the week. The format for each piece of work is A3 portrait. The end result will be in the form of a book, with every housemate’s reaction to each brief.
Here are my responses to the briefs.
Brief 1:
5; Make a piece of work using the theme of the number five.
Ideas: 5 fingers, senses, tally, toes, size 5 feet, high five, five alive, 5 the band (5ive) 5 gold rings, 5 boobs, prime number, pentagram, odd number.
Brief 2:
Building; Make a piece of working to reflect the meaning of the word ‘building’.
Ideas: Building blocks, lego, kids building toys.
Building maps, contours.
Building site, cement, tools, bricks, scaffolding.
Brief 3:
Bad music; Create a positive image using the theme of bad music. No type.
Ideas: Music I don’t like: Michael Jackson, U2, Nirvana, The Enemy, White Stripes. Generally all dubstep and drum n bass. The music that Jack Maxwell listens to with the bass up loud. Oops upside your head, YMCA.
Brief 4:
Perfect Match
Brief 5:
the £2 Obsession; Using under £2, make a piece of work using the theme of obsession.
Ideas: Vicki T’s boob job cost £4200 for 365grams. Size A to DD, 4 cup sizes. £1050 per cup size.
£1050 = 100%, £2 = 0.13%. £2 will get you 0.13% of a cup size worth of boob job.
Obsessions: boobs, drugs, OCD, organising, repetitive things, ordering. Typography. Fonts. All the fonts on my Mac.
