Impact Print

For my impact print, I wanted to do a sort of advertisement for Sisley, a brand which primarily uses shock factor as an advertising tactic. I think it is a very effective strategy for this brand, and says a lot about its clientele. I also think the photography is extremely edgy and has a raw quality to it that I really enjoy. 

group landscape

Our group landscape is basically a "stream of consciousness" concept. The imagery and text are all extremely random but come together as organized chaos. Here's 3 images of the progression to the final piece:

I hate google SketchUp.

A new Bible cover!

Seeing as the Bible is an extremely mass produced book...perhaps infinitely...I decided to redesign the cover in an extremely different way, inappropriate way.  

Traditional Bible Cover....

Interesting how the Bible always has such a standard, traditional cover....

Infinite Print ideas

So I have been racking my brain for the past few days trying to figure out something to do for this project. I am quite hung up on the "infinite" print part of the assignment...isn't pretty much anything you send to the printer potentially infinite?? Pretty much any thing i've ever shot is essentially infinite...I could print millions of my photos if I wanted. 

SO. What to do. Sometimes I think the best way to get new ideas is to ask people for ideas when they don't know they're supposed to be thinking of them. Hence, in come the roommates. When I asked my roommate Jayne what she thought an infinite print meant she of course said the obvious "something that goes on and on forever" and so I pushed her for an example and she decided that the Bible was the ultimate infinite print. My loosely Methodist childhood aside, I'd have to agree...

So. The Bible. Definitely a print. Definitely seems infinite. It's quite possibly the most violently debated book I own (somewhere I have one...). There's clearly an idea to work with here. Now if I could just find it...
