I really like this image I found on the Internet due to the strong feeling of memories and history. It reminds me of Andy Warhol's prints with the repetition of images and use of colours. This I feel could work well with my project, so I will try and produce something like this through etching and maybe screen printing. Due to my love for black and white photographs, screen printing the photos could be a great way of using them instead using of trying to get the same feel by drawing or photocopying them.

This is an image that gives alittle inspiration for my photographic patterns.. I want to keep it simple unlike the image.

Today I bought some photo frames from the charity shop and I feel I could add these to my idea of memories and the whole youth culture thing. I was thinking of putting my idea of fading images/photographs in them and maybe try the same thing with the photo album I bought recently.

I think I will look at some andy warhols prints for some inspiration and see the how they work for the audience

experiments..

Today, I managed to produce some visiual work that im quite happy with.
I really needed to start communicating my idea of repetition of youth cultures and trends, so I began to create the images below. I feel the first image works quite well and would like to produce something similar using the etching and screenprint technique. I also repeated images that could make patterns.

Today I have realised that I haven't really pushed my ideas forward during this project and I reeeally need to if I am to make this project successful and to solve the problems produced from my brief.
The strongest idea I have for this project is to focus on the repetition of trends from subcultures and attitudes produced during the years of 1950 right up to the 90s and how they are revisited to this present day.

I will continue to test out making a zine but I am seriously doubting if its the best way to communicate to my audience.
I was thinking of trying to represent this by creating patterns using portraits. I feel this could communicate my idea very well. On Monday, I will attend an etching workshop where I can easy transfer images on to paper and experiement with patterns.

I've always been a fan of David Foldvari but today looking at this image it made me realise something important...

leaving out the unnecessary and showing what is important. this could be applied to this fashion project by capturing the body language, items of clothing that tell the story of their history etc and blacking out things that don't particularly have a meanning. I tried this out in the photo below
