SOPHIE WILSON

OUGD104

VISUAL LANGUAGE MODULE

Writing our own briefs with a template outline for the 'What Is a Line' visual language project...

BRIEF TITLE:

What Is a Line: Constellations.

The Brief:

Explore visual representations of constellations by indicating positions, connection or boundaries- create a series exploring what links the eighty-eight constellation series, as well as what makes each one unique.

Considerations:

Research will be essential for the progression of my outcome- using a variety of sources to collect information to develop visual interpretations, composition and layout.

Target Audience:

Anyone interested in astronomy, space travel, and star gazing/constellations.

With a clear, concise and informative language, the guide will have a wide audience (in regards to age range).

Tone of Voice:

Informative, clear- not specific to any age range- not too formal or scientific- a beginner's guide so as not to alienate a large portion of my potential audience.

Background:

I will collect a wealth of both primary and secondary research. I will photograph stars and constellations, explore illustration and printing methods (screen printing, mono printing, etc.)

Mandatory Requirements:

Produce a vast quantity of visual samples and research, in order to develop and distinguish the direction and visual format which my work is most suited to.

Deliverables:

Produce a wide collection of visual experimentation and research centred on my theme- explore visual communication within outcomes- produce a visual guide of the 88 constellations.

Studio Deadline:

26th April 2011 (Module Deadline)
