Well, back into the full swing of uni 3rd year. Started back a couple of weeks ago and have already completedone project. 'Significance of numbers' - really good project to get my mind working once again and the short deadline ensured that I found my idea and stuck with it. Initially I went with the idea of the code system to find products in the stockroom at work and how I could produce a diagram/ visual map to display the co
des and their placement within the stockroom. To me, this would be a really helpful poster but to the audience it wasn't the most exciting idea!So, I had a tutorial and bounced ideas off of friends and kept the idea of looking at trainers/ shoes in particular and thinking about all the numbers associated to the making of the shoe.. flight codes, distance it's travelled, size, cost to make etc etc. And this is what I produced:
I wanted to make the work powerful and immediately eye catching. On one level the viewer will see it as an advertisement for a Nike shoe but as they start to look into the art they see all these numbers and statistics that show the Nike corporation for what they really are. As I'm now in my 3rd year I am going to consider exactly what I want out of each project and consider how I want my portfolio to come across because that is the most important part.
