06/04 & 13/04 RESEARCHING AND EXPERIMENTING

I gathered some more research contextually this week to help with my understanding of how I could be portraying these stories and quotes of loneliness in the city. I looked into the stories of people of all ages in big cities that had shared how loneliness and feeling isolated had affected them in everyday life within these spaces. I also looked more into self-isolation and being on lockdown, and how during these current times people are having to stay at home which can inflict loneliness on them. It is very closely linked to the themes I have already explored and now I personally am self-isolating in London, I can put myself into the place of my project and really put my own emotions across into my work. I think this will help me create a much more successful and emotive piece.

and layouts. I think I am going to go for a simple sans-serif, bold font all over my final outcome. As the text will not be the main focus of my publication and will just accompany some of the images, I do not want it to distract from the image. I may experiment with the direction that the text moves in as the line could wave which would imply how the comment is passing by or an inside thought, rather than a solid statement. Furthermore, playing with the size of the letters and words within the quote could help to emphasise what words mean the most or are the most emotive, to make them distinct from the rest of it.
