New Idea for F.P. - Karina


What do people mean when they say they live 'normal life'? Is it having an expensive car or getting married and live in a big house? What standard life is? I am not trying to be philosophical here but the main point I'm trying to get across is what things do we need to have or to do to have a ‘full set’?
This typographic poster by Michael Johnson gave me an idea for my Final Project. This is a tongue-in check guide to the career of a graphic designer aimed at students. Like this poster, I want to build some sort of a guide to explore the notion of what is needed for having a ‘normal life’. To be clear, I’m not sure about the final outcome yet but the idea is to see what we need to live a normal, full life.

be careful, you don't want normal to be confused with average

i think what we need this week to make it to the upper levels of the tree is an accepted idea

Your proposal is suppoted by a visual which has strong similarities to the D&AD type work we looked at today. An alternative view is that all your research would lead to the production of a poster/illustration series that should, in reality, only take a couple of days to do.
Overall the core topic is mundane and extremelly well trodden.

I understand that it seems like my outcome will be very simple, but I'm not planning on making a poster, I was thinking more of a set of cutouts to demonstrate the missing pieces from people's lives. I don't think I'm making my self clear at this point. But anyway I am not thinking about the final outcome I'm concentrating more on the main idea.Thank you for your comments everyone!
