Final Major Project Proposal

This is my project proposal, I have decided on the title of Creative Visual Solutions to Facing Fears,  I feel this is only a working title and may change it at a later date to fit better with my project:

Progress and achievement

Foundation has really helped me to be able to have numerous ideas when given little information which has definitely boosted my confidence when faced with a brief.  I also have a much clearer understanding of design and its many aspects, and how to think in a more visual way compared to when I start the course.

Context

What first drew me to Visual communications was the wide range of work that could and was being produced and its individuality and cleverness.  When in this rotation I felt that my work showed more potential and personality than at other times and that what I was doing was challenging, stimulating and interesting.  Initially some of the set briefs I found very difficult but by overcoming these problems I grew in confidence and skill.  In general I was pleased with the outcomes however although I tried to access a wide range of aspects of this area I seemed to find a lot of my work had a typographical element to it,  so in the future i would want to focus on the full spectrum.

ProjectProposal Aims, Method and Realization

The aim of my project is to communicate creatively and visually personal fears; as well as the origin, manifestation and overcoming of said fears.  In order to achieve my brief I will research into the psychological side of fear,  how other artists have represented not only fear but other mental emotions and the origin of a persons fear.  I will conduct questionnaires for initial information and in order to personalise my research I will face my personal fear, arachnophobia, in a physical way and document it.  I will try to make a natural progression towards my final piece and focus strongly on the experimentation and development aspects of this project.  Throughout the development of the project I intend to experiment with many methods including film, in both a documentary and fictional way as well as photography,  while incorporating a typographical element.

Evaluation

I aim to follow my action plan time table as closely as possible therefor I will be able to judge my development and time management effectively. I will also be keeping a reflective journal as continual evaluation throughout this project which will document the decisions and the actions I have taken and feedback I have received from tutors and peers in a detailed way.
