At the start of the semester we had to design a 'grotesque poster for the institution'. The 'institution could be anything we wanted it to be but most people, including myself, used the Architecture School as our Institution. So to give you a run down on what I was thinking about when I designed my poster:
As you can see my poster is quite 'dark'. I wanted it to be mysterious so people wouldn't necessarily reconise the space I photographed instantly - hence I chose the chairs in studio, something we all see everyday but they aren't very 'important' as such. I used a skeleton arm to represent the life (or death :p depends which way you look at it) of the average Architecture student.
In my poster I wanted to show how Architecture takes over, and basically becomes your life! And also how you become part of the 'Architecure Family'. So to represent that idea, I placed the skelelton arm in place of the chair leg - showing that the person literally became part of the furniture there.
hmmmmm, and the writing! This was just a little quote that I thought of when we were given the assignment. I was told by older and I guess more experienced people when I first started Architecture earlier this year - that Architecture WILL take over my life whether I like it or not and that all my close friends will be my fellow Architecture buddies. At the time I didn't believe what they were saying of course.. but I am starting to understand now. To be honest though, I wouldn't have it any other way :p
