Lists

 First real project within the area...... Initially I was pretty pleased with how browd the project was, I could think of so many things to put in the list options. I was able to fill a sketchbook with ideas, and although this gave me alot to work with, I then found selection tricky. Granted I would rather have to much to work with than too little , but selection within this project I feel was the trickiest bit. Yet afeter drafting several ideas and taking phtographs I feel I still had 2 strong list ideas that could work, one was 10 objects that were the wrong colour- here I worked with the concept that if some everyday objects were a different colour then they wouldn't need to be cleaned. For example a toilet if it was brown would not need to be cleaned as often, a plate if it had a red mark on it for ketchup wouldn;t need to be cleaned, if tables had drinks marks on them already you wouldn't need a coaster. This idea I liked yet having taken photographs I was struggling in the physicalities of producing it, ie what media to use and not being as confident on photoshop meant this was not really an option and hence physically chucking paint on for example the toilet although seemed not only a great idea but great fun, under the time restraintes I knew I would be unable to source not onl this but the rest of the objects needed! Having spoken to several people in the class about my ideas it was suggested I did another list- 10 things that make you grin. As aweful as this sounds I found lots of things that made my grin- not smile but grin ie a sneaky kind of- I shouldn't be grinning things. For example when you get the last piece of pizza, you go YESSSS and have a sneaky grin that its yours! Another example is when you get the last car parking space in a busy car park, you just get it, park, and have a sneaky grin to yourself- YESS! This is the concept I decided to work with and after discussions about presenting it ie photographs presented in car parking spaces, illustrating the work and how I was going to deliver the concept of YEEEESSSS  to the viewer, I decided to just hold up the letters, Y, E and S,using phtography, yes it is simple but I felt the work needed this in order for people to understand it! Here are some examples...
