Image: Self initiated brief

With this brief I want to combine my preferred briefs from the module and play to my strengths; type and image. I also want to concentrate on the editorial side and how image is used, so I've decided to design a magazine based around maxims and producing images to partner them.

Brief:  You have been given a selection of maxims by Daniel Desbiens, which you must produce an image to accompany. The image (s) will partner the maxims in a specially designed publication to showcase the designs and must relate directly to the maxim (s).


BackgroundAn image rarely exists out of context. What an image is in response to or the environment it is placed in (or a combination of the two) will define the context.
This is clear within editorial illustration/photography/print making etc…you are responding directly to a body of given text and it will sit within a publication (its environment).

ConsiderationsTHINK VISUALLY. Consider what the visual essence of your subject matter (the maxim) and how best to communicate this. What are the obvious responses? How can you move beyond these? How subtle can you be? Do your ideas operate as a set, series or sequence?

Practical Considerations: There are no media restrictions. You can work photographically, across three dimensions, collage, incorporate print making methods or combine all of these processes…however you will must be able to record these into a 2d format so that they can be used with the publication.

Mandatory: All images should be supported by a broad range of visual investigation in the form of design sheets and notebooks.

Deliverables: A publication showcasing the maxims and related images.

Deadline:  26th April
