BRIEF:

Use a typology (series of images) to create a series of photographs or video outcomes in response to one of the following:


Tree - Shape
Hair - Suite
Flow - Course
Coat - Finish

My eventual choice will form the basis for a manual or series of instructions entitled "How to.........? (See HOT & COLD Media section)

After researching the meanings and definitions of each word (see Further Investigation section below) i have decided to use Flow-Course for my Rich Media Project.


FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE MEANINGS & DEFINITIONS FOR FLOW & COURSE

FLOW
The action of fact of flowing; movement in a current or stream; an instance or mode of this.
In modern use to descibe the flow of all fluids, as air or electricity.
To pass along the vessels of the body; to circulate. A journey.
Of a person: To pour out one's feelings.

COURSE
To pursue, persucute, worry, trouble or hunt.
To chase or drive with blows.
To turn over in one's mind.
To steer or direct one's course, to take or pursue a particular course.
To run or move swiftly over or along.

WHAT DOES FLOW - COURSE MEAN TO ME?

When i think of these 2 words i think of the flow of life, a journey. How each decision we make affects our course in life. At some points we have to make decisions, we reach a cross-roads and have to decide which turning we make. Will it be the right decision or the wrong one? The right choice is never always easy or correct. I have faced many challenges and obstacles in life which have shaped and moulded me into the person i am today. I will be the first to admit that some of the courses i've choosen have not always been correct but i don't regret any of them.
