PRIMARY RESEARCH VISIT 10/02
Took a trip to Scriberia and it was a very eyeopening visit towards not only a potential career path but also for this project. They summarised and documented talks within short amount of times, which would be extremely helpful to help the direction of my own work. I could think about attending a talk to do with youth in London or even just speaking to individuals about their experiences and documenting them or creating infographics in a similar way to how they achieve this. I really liked their outcomes and although they were more graphic oriented, I could see how this would work within my own project. Furthermore, I visited Foyles book store and Gosh Comics to get inspiration for final outcome ideas and storyline inspiration. I found so many useful books and magazines that will help me to move my project forward in a more professional way. One of my favourite pieces was the buildings layered upon one another as it really indicated my theme of everyone having their own stories in the city and living among one another but not knowing each other’s experiences. My other favourite 12
book was ‘Hundred’, which explored the life of this one character from 0 to 100 years. The way the text was displayed is how I imagine to display the text within my outcome. I also thought much more about how I would present a final outcome due to this. The large illustrations that filled the pages throughout worked really well, especially when they were stories that had very little to no words. Furthermore, a book or other type of publication would definitely help to portray my subject clearly and successfully.
