(not sure about the title yet sorry!)
Hi everyone! I have been posting so many ideas for F.M.P. and was really struggling on choosing the right one for me. But with GTS’s help I think I have something interesting and worth to do as my final project. Especially because it is related to my own culture and can be a good project to represent my work in the future.
Idea proposal: I will be looking at the development of lifestyles of two youth cultures one in Russia and another one in England. Relying on my own experience, with help from my friends, and comparing it to my own peer group in London.
I will be looking at Russian equivalent of:
• Youth tv
• Celebrities
• Snack Food
• Romantic Rituals
• Topical Fashion
• Reading
• Family Relationships
• Gay scene
…etc
The outcome could be produced with use of images and text, and set of information reflecting real life experience of two cultures.
Nowadays in Russia youth culture is growing and learning mostly from the west, being influenced by it allot. Russian youth culture and my generation have always been influenced by other cultures from the west e.g. music, fashion, styles etc. If you look at good teen magazines, you can find a lot there which has been brought from other culture, I guess this is all because Russia just started to change after Soviet time, and youth culture is just starting to develop itself and needs something to look up to. Although it’s trying to bring its own culture as well, which I have noticed, because it is easy for me to see these changes, where I can compare it from what I see in UK.

I think this idea is stronger than your previous ones and has lot of potential. I can image a great outcome like a beautiful book.

Thanks alot Teresa!Good luck to you to and good easter break!
I think you can develop this idea very good. It sounds interesting the idea of comparison between cultures and you know about both of them. I guess you can get a good outcome.
By the way any idea about the outcome? will it be a book as teresa suggested?
cristina
probably, but I might produce something else like a guide, for example, something which will have both images and text, so I can fully reflect cultural aspects.
Thanks for your comments guys!

I notice that you have a few comments from colleagues within the group regarding an appropriate format for your work...you need to resolve this quickly and design appropriately in order to get the correct visual appeal, tone of voice, marketing and audience.
What you must avoid- at all costs, is merely producing a pretty, self-indulgent picture book.
WHO IS YOUR AUDIENCE...what are their needs and what will appeal to them?
