Idea development

Alternative ideas

I have struggled throughout my year to be really ambitious with my concepts and a lot of the time I have stuck to what I know. I have had many crits with the main feedback  being 'push myself' and be more courageous with the experiments. Because of this I was thinking of creating a typology based poster which has myself illustrated inside a bubble trying to burst it until eventually I succeed and set free (representing where I am right now). This shoes my constant struggle to push myself out of my comfort zone until suddenly I manage to do it. 

Another idea I had was me being trapped inside my body with a silhouette of my body being covered in bars to represent the 'trapped' idea. The only problem with this one is that I have kind of done something similar with my Maya Angelou project. 
                                           


This is my idea of dressing up in one different shades of one colour, surrounded by the same colour objects. I feel like as an aesthetic this would look really captivating, camouflaging myself. I have always been a fan of drama and wanted to put myself forward for productions and stuff at school but never felt like i  had the confidence - this is kind of a representation of that with me being in the centre of stage for everyone to see but it's not actually me, more of a character covering myself up. I feel like yellow is such a powerful colour and creates a real bold statement. Perhaps one colour may be a bit too simple but I feel like it would be such an interesting composition if done well. I need a pure yellow background for it to be successful. Another idea I had was instead of one colour - everything I wear could be a different colour with my body painted another colour. This reflects my inner ambitions of projecting colour and not taking myself too serious. It also reflects my minimalist, Pop Art and cubism interest - the idea of having so many different dimensions of my personality, each geometric shape or bit of colour representing that idea.
