An exploration of colours through multiple avenues of everyday life and history, for a focused audience.

The aim of this project was to create a magazine, surrounding the perceptions of colour. This media will capture the constantly developing world around colour as well as its history, creating a space for consumers to broaden their minds on the subject.

Playing games is something everyone has experienced whether it’s online or offline. My project is derived from table top games that many have grown up playing such as playing cards, dominoes, chess, monopoly and much more.

Taking inspiration from the recent collection from the TV show ‘Queen’s Gambit’ as well as designers: Casablanca and Teresa Helbig I have aimed to effectively communicate my narrative and demonstrate skills that I have learnt throughout the course.

My initial idea for this project was to look deeper into sea plastic pollution. I wanted to know to what extent pollution was affecting the creatures that live in our oceans and the sea as an ecosystem. As I progressed through this journey I became more interested in the shapes and lives of sea creatures over the more devastating pollution side of the project. I wanted to recreate the organic curves and features creatures like Octopus and Jellyfish have but to keep to my theme of pollution I made sure the majority of the materials I used were plastic based and a large proportion was actual waste that was going to be discarded. I chose to use net as the base for my garments because it gave a more organic and fragile feeling much like the soft bodies of sea creatures, this also relevant as fishing nets make up to 86% of the large plastic pollution.

The focus for my narrative is to record the beauty in death, which I aimed to portray through documenting the decay of nature. My intention was to show that even in death things are beautiful and should be celebrated, not mourned. Capturing the beauty of decaying flowers, I aimed to create a range of fabric samples to convey this concept.

Storyteller Street magazine, utilises subject and street photography to document individuals opinions on the world and people-watching. I wanted my magazine to embody what it is to ‘people-watch’ and instead of, as it's done so often now through a screen, to be able to do it through the pages of a magazine. I also wanted to create this as we come to the end of lockdown and as so many people haven’t seen any one out on the street or have not been able to ‘people-watch’ in so long I thought this was a good project to create as we draw to the end of that.

I wanted my magazine to highlight different people’s struggles and views on the world that you may never hear or think to ask them. I wanted my photos to be very inclusive of all, not only do I find this highly important as it will then allow my product to appeal to a wider audience. I believe this magazine will bring people out of their own heads and momentarily while they read through each page, put them into the minds and lives of others; people they would otherwise usually just pass on the street - or if like many they enjoy people watch, they may see them and wonder.
