OUGD403 Studio Brief 4 | Interim Crit

The interim crit was overall very helpful to me as it was made clear that what I was looking at didn't relate to my research closely enough. My initial designs were all to do with 9/11 due to Russell Brand's 'open minded' comment on the matter, but after discussing with the group I realised that my research was mainly about how the media made the whole thing a bigger deal than it really was and took Brand's words out of context.

Some fo the suggestions that were made were very helpful as I essentially needed to start from scratch with my ideas. One of the best suggestions was to look at Cassetteboy, an artist(?) that takes people's words out of context to create a whole new meaning. 

This went on to the idea that I could take famous quotes and replace words or take words out to make a new one and see what people's reaction would be, whether they would believe this person said this new quote or not. I like this idea but I think it can be developed to something more interesting and related to my news story.
