Impact- Final Piece

Originally the pack was going to consist of a single tissue pack among other things with the all instructions inside, however the idea soon developed into a simple series of packs each showing a part of the instructions, as well as one holding a USB with a film on how to create and use the tissue implements if the user was still having difficulty.

I decided that it would be best if it were made out of paper to appear more unique and sophisticated. As a result the final outcome was clean and simple. 

I believe my final piece is successful as it practical for a large audience and gives tissues a new purpose. I think that the concept is original and in a form that is light-hearted, yet still has a sense of professionalism about it.

Impact- Media/Press Pack

It was revealed that I had to take the project so far and use it to create a media/press pack that could be distributed and would also get the message of the manifesto across. I knew that I'd have to create something that wouldn't just be thrown away easily after it was given to them, it had to be useful. A tissue box or pack seemed practical though also too obvious, however after some time thinking I realised how I could make it unique.
I began designing box nets using Adobe Illustrator before creating the ideal dimensions and style and then applied some illustrations I previously drew using Photoshop.

Impact- Superiority

After some time, I realised that whatever perfect response I do come up with, realistically it'll never catch on. Instead I focused my research onto making these other bodily reactions less inferior to the sneeze through a different manner- by giving them the use of a tissue too. I began investigating how a tissue could be used to assist someone if they began coughing, hiccuping, yawning or if they stubbed their toe.

Impact- My Manifesto

The brief was given to us in parts and our starting point was to create a manifesto for our own lives. After much deliberating I found something that I felt very passionate about, something that could revolutionise etiquette in our society today:
'There needs to be a phrase equivalent to 'bless you' used in response to a cough, hiccup, someone stubbing their toe, etc.'
I felt the best way to get my message across would be to put it in someone's face, and the least aggressive and most appropriate way of doing that would be to print it onto tissues.

Memory Through a Narrative- Final Piece

 I created a book, inspired actually by the book fair you (yes, you Manchester School of Art) had during the open day. Some of the architecture of the books were very unique and interesting and inspired me to create an equally unusual shaped book, influenced by the shape of a caterpillar. It opens out from the centre into this long narrative, written by my friends. I pieced together their individual recollections to produce an interpretation as accurate to the original as I could, though still maintaining their charm. The story follows a line until it reaches to end where there is the image of the cocoon. I felt it was important for the book to 

look simple and pure, like a childhood memory.

A Memory Through a Narrative- The Cocoon

I felt as though the cocoon was the most powerful image. More modest than the caterpillar or butterfly yet still a detail everyone remembered well. The picture is simple and I had little influence on where the colour ran. I liked how the layers seep into each other to form the single drop of paint that runs down the page.

A Memory Through a Narrative- Bleeding the Memory

I chose to focus on 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. I asked some close friends of mine to recite the story from memory; as much detail as they could remember. I chose a part of the story they remembered most clearly and created a series of running images along with their interpretation.
