My Thoughts..

In order to start the "Still Life Food and Fashion" project it was necessary for me to do a brain storm which would illustrate my thoughts and ideas for each option, research and the final outcome I would like to get. I always seem to work better when I can see my thoughts written in front of me. I think it will be a good idea to initially look at many different aspects of food until I find something that I feel I want to develop.

The brainstorm

Let's Get It Started...

Some of you might think why I have decided to name my blog as "The visual therapy". The answer is very simple. The visualization of still life can be regarded by many as a therapy for the eye. Namely, it reflects the true value, simplicity and authenticity of an item in question by looking for ways of getting the essence of a subject down in the most revealing way. I strive for simplicity to bring out the beauty in the most ordinary scenes. I want to create the world that I want to live in. I want to surround myself with positive visualizations and inspirations that will remind me of the world that I want to create.

Brief:

To create an inspiring 4-5 page Still life Fashion Editorial for a magazine of your choice. The shoot should be based around 2 main components, your food research, art and cultural research development and your chosen/sourced accessories, which are inspired by future trends and stories from the Spring/Summer 2014 shows. 
You will develop your research to create a narrative based on your combination of early research stages. Your food research begins with our North West food experience where you will record (film and photography) both visuals and make diary entries of your findings in the form of a blog. The blog then can be developed and continued research can be posted to form ideas in terms of food in general, food within art and still life, food displays, presentation and social dining trends and movements within food and food styling.

It has taken me a few days with this brief to initially get my head around the task at hand. I have re read the brief now several times and I think I am ready to begin.
