At the moment, Barbara Kruger is my visual reference starting point.. her use of text is massively effective. Juxtaposed against a photograph, it created an extremely powerful image; the two elements viewed separately from each other could have entirely different meanings.
Consider the use of text in my project – it’s not a far leap, considering that my context is that of fashion/beauty advertising and magazines. Current ideas include making pamphlets, or mini-magazines.. text and image could be shown separately, on different pages from each other, while still remaining under the umbrella of the pamphlet/magazine format. Could almost reference subliminal messages and ads.
Heee..
