OUGD401 - Study Task 07 - Developments to Solution Two

Although an interesting concept, the visualisation of this idea did not work as well as originally intended. One major problem that arised from this work was the use of secondary imagery. The images available to me were not of very good quality, and were all quite detailed and structured which made it difficult to combine the different construction sets together.
In addition to this, the style of figurines accompanying both the classic LEGO construction sets and the LEGO Friends sets were of very different styles. Experimentation with combing these figures into different ‘worlds’ resulted in the imagery looking quite inconsistent. In this instance, it was therefore suggested that these scenes would have to be developed and created physically from one set of LEGO in order to achieve the original intention.

In producing these collages, it was decided to hold the images down using masking tape rather than glue. The visibility of these and the rough cutting of the images were used deliberately to give the impression of the handmade, which could potentially touch an audience of parents to young children, reminding them of a personal piece of work created by their children.
The colour yellow was used again in these simple developments to show the idea of gender-neutrality, similar to that of prototype solution one, and link to it’s intended message.
