As a group we went away to explore the ideas and concepts we had narrowed down to.
I felt the best way for me to communicate my ideas was through some presentation boards, which can be seen below:
Despite considering all three of these ideas, during a critique with everyone else ideas, we came up with a new concept that we wanted to look at further:
'Signing Out'
One routine we go through almost everyday of study is signing in. Each morning and evening we leave a personal mark to prove out attendance.
An artist always signs off their masterpiece, and their will be one day which we will sign in (or sign out) for the last time.
As last year's yearbook and end of year show lacked personality, this is a fantastic way to show personality, as everyone's handwriting is unique. Obviously to include actual signatures would be too personal (and a risk of forgery), so we thought everyone could use another signature.
The idea of using handwriting can be used more than just a signature. We intend to look into the idea of using handwriting in contrast to something more structural and consistent.
