All By Myselfie
Exchange, Empathy, Define, Ideate,Test
Today our group finalised our idea/direction under the topic of isolation. We were having difficulty nailing a title to navigate our direction, as we were focussed on the the concept of introversion (as a positive), but found the term had negative connotative value. We wanted to address the issue without bringing with it the negative connotations that come with being by yourself/introverted and so decided to use humour as a way to ease our audience into the topic.
We decided on the title all by myselfie. I'm a little worried the use of the word selfie will narrow our audience to youth who use social media, but also feel we can keep our brief broad by the way we execute our research and the topics visual element.
Our aim is to promote self acceptance, in the act of being by oneself and comfortable, through taking the time to get to know yourself through an intimate personal reflection. We'll investigate these reflections in situations relating the the four major elements of Well being- Emotional, social,physical and spiritual. This is where we link back to isolation, but use the connection as an opportunity for self reflection and acknowledgement.
We also had our first exchange where each person (from different disciplines) presented the ideas
from their particular briefs. Im excited to see what developments will have been made by the next meeting as alternative disciplines are tackling similar issues. I think that their direction and the effectiveness of their execution will be useful in informing our own.
