BIRDS
Two birds chatting about a mysterious foreign bird from overseas they've once met. Pointy features, originates from Asia and very very quiet and shy. Origami bird.
BLUE
Blue virus sandwich. Infects and kills everyone.
Hugo actually pointed out the yellow coherent theme in all the images.... I never noticed. And yellow is a metaphor for disease... ah the small details.
ARGH
A crowd and press swarming through a town to see LSD man, he goes berserk.
My classmates actually suggested it could be about celebrity/media press and the state of panic/intrusion you'd feel.
Hugo also pointed out how this one particularly works well with the composition of images flows well since they all face together. He also pointed out how I positioned the images was interesting as it wasn't in the typical linear format - this method gave way to more interpretations - something to take note perhaps?
Week 1's assignment - get three different stories (image, steal, find, appropriate etc.) and convey them using three images.
Before we got given this Hugo sent us to the library to pick any 3 books that we fancied from the infamous 6th floor (the best). I picked up Dirty Fingernails: A One-Of-A-Kind Collection of Graphics Uniquely Designed by Hand, Animation Now! and Patrick Weidmann: Photographies. After we got the brief I just flicked through the books looking for images that had some kind of symbolism or could 'work on its on'. I scanned the 9 images, and then the task of making some narratives out of them - the brief! haha.
It was actually a really useful task in 'forcing' yourself to find narrative out of 'randomness'. Some of my class mates came up with some awesome fantastical stories so this method could be a starting point in creating an original narrative.
