Photography Project
Tuesday, 23 October 2012
One thing that stood out to me was the issue of
car crashes on our roads today. I, being a driver, am told every time before I take my car out is "be careful on the roads."Crashes happen all the time and I have some upon the scene of a crash a few times since I started driving 2 years ago. While researching I came upon 2 artists that used car crashes as the main theme for their series of prints. Andy Warhol -"Car crash and disaster series" and Jim dine - "Car crash"

Headlines Project
No matter where we are now-a-days we see headlines whether it is in a newspaper, tabloid magazine, internet or even an advertisement on a billboard. In the 21st Century social media and online news websites have become a popular way of reading what is going on in the world. It is a faster, less expensive and popular way of reading the news especially for the younger generation who don't buy newspapers as much. But do these websites really tell us legitimate news? Well, if your looking to find out the latest news on a celebrity and whats going on in the social media world then yes!
For my project I wanted to look into issues that social media websites and tabloids look at with a blind eye. I feel as if websites like this act like bad things don't happen or maybe they think they are less important than writing about the latest celebrity craze? When researching for the project I looked at things like world disasters, something that is an extremely important issue but one that can be looked at lightly by some. I looked at issues like hurricanes, flash floods, famines, tsunamis, wild fires, poverty, car crashes, recession, government, economy, war. I turned these issues into tabloid news...
War- Celebrity feud
Recession- Forbes rich list
Car Crash- Celebrity crash diet
Poverty- Celebrity buys a house for $10 million
