For the final studio day of my first research week I toook the day to gather all my gallery images that I had taken on the wednesday and organised them into seperate sheets so that when referencing in my sketchbook I could clearly show that several visits had been done and also a fair amount from each gallery was used as inspiration. This day I had decided to carry out a few unstructured interviews with 3 friends just to get a sense of what they had thought about the issue of teen stress and how it could be tackled in a form of graphic design. In addition to these chats I also asked what they thought of escapism when stress had reached high levels and they had all made a link to imagination, allowing me to look into how imagination could be a potential pivotal part in my developments and also my final outcome. Ofcourse the Friday I started also to make small drafts on a questionnaire that I would be sending out in order to find what issue that young people had found most stressfull whether parental divorce, self harming ect. This questionnaire will be completed on the monday and sent out of the course of the week in which I will shortlist either 1 or 2 most popular problems with young people to carry on into my development stages.
On the friday I also asked how people would look at my project whether it would be a brand, campaign, book, poster ect. The general response from most peers was that my project was very similar to that of a campaign which could make good use of photography, and that a brand would be slightly convuluted. As I had also expected a campaign was definately what I wanted my outcome to be, and this in my developments could further be either a series of posters/illustrations or even a short film, as I had left my brief to be quite open and not restricted at all. Week 2 I will be looking more into reading the theory side of teen stress and pressure as well as collecting results from my online survey to finalise my topic issues.
