ORIGINAL CONCEPT When thinking about creating a diorama, my mind immediately went to a mobile. The watch idea came from the title of Venesky’s book It Is Beautiful... Then Gone—it reminded me of time, also tying into the fact that Venesky’s work is extremely time consuming.
RIG Three wire hangers Masking tape Thread
DISCOVERY While sitting at my desk, I looked over at the diorama and realized this would create a far more interesting image.
COLOR Background color was achieved by taking an eyedrop sample from the watch.
REVISIONS A shadow effect was achieved by using a mask in Photoshop. Design was also moved into the group in order to improve readability.
COLLAGE The poster was then printed and various elements were placed over top
