Statement of Intent

In my FMP I plan to use photography, typography and colour, using Photoshop for editing and experimental pieces. I will theme my project around the topic of Split Personalities, and how people are all different. To help me develop my final outcomes I will plan out my designs using thumbnails and a range of experimental image-making techniques. Primary and secondary research as well as spider diagrams will help me when I am stuck for ideas in my FMP. My development will include different working processes that include collage, ink drawings and ‘being messy’ this will help keep my images loose and stop my work becoming boring and too precise. Using the theme of Split Personalities will be helped by my knowledge of studying psychology at A-level so the notes I have from that will help with my research for the project. I will also do primary research using questionnaires to find out how people view themselves and their personalities. My final outcomes will be creative and different; this will give my work a different edge that other graphic design doesn’t have.
