Having written this once and having lost it I’ll keep it brief!
The collaborative project was most beneficial, we (Gordon, Amy and I ) started with a plan to define agency in smart cities with moodboards and then refined this during our discussions. From here we captured relevant content and fed this back to the tutors. The initial feedback was not so positive about the rather gimmicky approach of having sprocket holes in the images. Aesthetically we liked it but tried some other options. We regrouped and developed the idea further and the end results received very positive feedback for the client. Not so positive that they took on the content, but for a while it seemed a possibility.
The most positive thing to come out of this collaboration was the weekly meeting with Gordon and Amy as in addition to working on the brief we were able to discuss progress with our own research. This somewhat took the place of tutorials
Supporting statement for blended image produced in london - images from Chinatown and Paddington station.
This composition was created by blending 3 images taken in London, I attempted to capture a multicultural and inclusive aesthetic. The three main figures in the image were selected to represent a range of decision-makers, in this case, a commuter, a shopper and a tourist. These subjects were isolated with specific colours added to them based on an RGB colour scheme. A 'LED like' stroke was added to the outline of the people to signify the use of smart devices to stay connected and navigate.
