I didn't do the big drop in because of the weather and my knees. My friendship with Tom Peet hit a low point.

Theatre Poster
This is a poster advertising an upcoming performance of Sydney Pollack's "They Shoot Horses Don't They". The story of the production is based on a dance marathon that goes on for several months and the people slowly start getting treated like animals. My poster is based on a lunar cycle to show the length of time the dance goes on for and then I took apart a disco ball and photographed it to create a spinning effect to act as the moon.
Barcelona Project
Hypochondriac Imagery
Theses images were produced for a project on hypochondria. I had to create imagery that suggested what hypochondriacs do and what they may carry with them. I created a colour coded system for medicines to be taken on specific days for specific illnesses. I used the scanner again for this as it gave a medical effect to the images scanned in colour.
Design Intervention
These images were for a project on 'out of place' design. I had to capture something out of the ordinary with a strong concept behind it. I chose to look at music in my research and through my reading I found that music can help older people remember things from when they were young. This is especially common for people with Alzheimer's and Dementia. I chose to work with this idea and decided to photograph an older woman playing ping pong as if she was young again. In all the pictures I used some modern headphones to suggest she was reminiscing. This is also aided by the fact that she is not looking directly into the camera as if she is distracted by her thoughts. The old style of the wallpaper, dart board and books all help this image capture the feeling of remembering when you were young.
Eating Disorders
These scans were for a project on eating disorders. I had to produce imagery for an article in a newspaper describing the problems that young people face with disorders such as Anorexia and Bulimia. I chose to use a scanner because it highlights the fact that people with these disorders are trapped and I chose to keep them black and white because it gives a serious undertone to the images. I asked the models to try and keep their faces covered to show that people usually try to hide these problems, and the chipped nail varnish and closed eyes adds to the effect of someone struggling.
