BRIEF 01: CONTEMPORARY CULTURE//INITIAL IDEAS//OUGD603

brief 01_ideas.
brief outline:

Create a zine/a collection of zine’s that best display contemporary culture in different cities using photography as your main source of visual research.  Any other images, text, literature, art references etc. should be used to support the zine as an accurate portrayal of contemporary culture amongst a small selection of cities of your choice.
Capture friends, peers. Capture reality, fantasy, people with interesting stories, and people with great ideas. Something real. Seize the chance to define the visual language of your world in 2013/14.

best way to collect a broad rang of images from different cities: -as well as me photographing my experience of contemporary culture, my idea is to send out some disposable cameras to people I know in different cities and allow them to capture their interpretation of contemporary culture, this collects a bulk of primary research and a collection of images for me to choose from for the zines.

I want to try and stick to using film/disposable photography rather than digital as I think this will compliment the style and visual aesthetic of the zines far more.  I would also like to try and vary the style of photography used.

plan/to do list:
-make a list of people to contact that could potentially take part, looking at as many cities as possible 
-plan and outline email to send out
-visual research
-expand ideas
-buy cameras
