Brief Summary

This project involved organising a series of images in a specific order to convey a conceptual storyline. The arranged composition needed to consist of three documentary pictures and two fashion photographs. To ensure visual coherence among all the images, specific attributes like shape, texture, pattern, and tonal value had to be emphasised throughout the entire collection. All photographs needed to be in greyscale.

Project Deliverables

01. Curated series of five images

- Two greyscale or colour fashion photographs

02. Printed final curated narrative

Design Strategy

The design strategy for this project was to focus on a singular design element, like shape or texture, and curate the images in such a way that a narrative and harmony could start to form. For the final creation, an emphasis was placed on rotation and circles. The first textured documentary photograph grounds the last image of a pigeon that might take flight at any moment. The repetition of water further contrasts the narrative of taking flight. The centre image is a coffee cup, shot from a bird's eye view. Maybe the bird at the end of the narrative. The viewer is presented with an ambiguous storyline, allowing them to piece the story together themselves.
