Various ideas presented, taking bits from all sections of my research:
1) digital collage, using washing up sinks/ soapy water to create new scenes, distorting scale and perception, using counterfactuals and personification to create humour. Could be used in production as post cards or screen savers. Very informal and playing on associations of aesthetic.
Similarly, playing on the idea of humour and sexualisation of the bathroom in culture, I created a comical poster that could be used in advertisement. Personifying the soap again acts as a counterfactual to the image, playing on the shapes and qualities of the soap. Essentially deconstructing it through changing its physical characteristics but keeping its practical ones.
2) Political poster satirically taking the piss out of stupid things that politicians have said (emphasis on the people running out country). This would theoretically be a series of posters with different political figures and a list of quotes from them.
Response:
- They are cute but lack authority, reason and thus weight
- Bit too silly
- Follow the route of political protest - has interesting weight and is very relevant at the moment
- Could combine the sink print with something related to this
- The sink collages are strong but need a more viable focus and subjects
- Political protest songs, if I wanted to go down the album art route, that way linking the idea of soap box and the sink print can be the cover, and maintaining the idea of telling a politician to 'wash their mouths'
- Could have political leaders sinking in the water 'out of their depths'
- The sink prints produce a really nice aesthetic that really resembles bacteria and soap patterns at the same time which is an interesting concept that could be explored - bacteria vs soap - good vs bad - in politics?
- Explore combining political protest songs - already existing? most famous/ influential ones? ones relevant to today? with either collage or the sink prints to create a record
