also somewhat frustrating, The critique from
tutors indicated that the message that I tried
to convey with in my images was fundamentally
flawed for the following reasons
Firstly the social and cultural implications of
the slogan Love Lives Hate Kills can be mis -
understood as they do not correlate as two
sides of the same coin, also the possible
relation to skin head culture, could also act as
a catalyst to dilute the message futher.
Secondly from a graphic design point of view, the
design I constructed, had several mistakes in it, in
terms of it's typography. these cardinal mistakes
went further to cloud the message i attempted
to portray.
Personally I am not sure that I was attempting
to make an political statement as was suggested
to me, more over an statement about life in
general. However for the sack of personal growth
I think it would bee relevant to research the
following theories and artist.
Barbera Kruger
Skin Head Culture
Slogans
And Basic principles of graphic design
While my execution of the photography was well
done expanding my boundries by using a medium
format camera for the first time, develop the
negatives myself .
I am disappointed that the slogan I designed did
not have the visual credence i was hoping for.
I still stand behind the concept that support
the slogan. Over the week coming I will
revisit and try to develop this idea
