BRIEF 05: UNSUNG HEROES & HEROINES//CONCEPT BOARDS//OUGD603

unsung heroes & heroines:
concept/visual boards.
I think in terms of visuals and the design I want to explore old photographs/objects/letters/diaries etc.  All these objects have an aesthetic about it that I think could suit the outcome of this brief.  As this is a past ISTD brief I want to extend the possibilities of it by also focusing on the 'memory' of a hero or heroine.  These visuals/objects would really evoke this feeling of 'memory' as the objects and photographs capture past moments of peoples lives.

I want to exhibit the lives of ordinary people who are seen as heroes or heroines through a set of posters that depict fragments of peoples lives, ordinary people, unsung heroes.


Through research of objects, photographs, diaries and memories I will explore the lives of my Grandparents, capturing a small part of their lives through the memories left behind.

list of props/visuals:

• photographs
• diaries
• letters
• frames
• signage

poster ideas.

For the posters I wanted to make the objects and photographs main visuals, obviously text is a main part of the final outcomes, using diary extracts, information and possible poetry if it fits with the story/design.

Particular visual ideas that I would like to try would be photographing a wall with a number of frames of photographs of the person whose story Im telling, once edited I would then add text, this would be my main visual poster as it would hold most of the photographs, a kind of overview of the project.

Other poster ideas I had would be photographs of the particular person, more text heavy, telling a small story, events that makes them an 'unsung hero or heroine.'
