OUGD503 - Substantial project - Adobe Brief - Anxiety/Depression - Model Image Research

I have found another photgrpher that created some amazing shoots by modelling what exactly anxiety and depression looks like when the body is having to deal with the emotions day to day.

The images have cleverly captured a model posing with and without objects to express the different feelings and emotions that depression and anxiety causes. Alongside the images are very beautiful and modernised. The colours used in the actual images are kept to black and white, which really connects with the subject pf the photos and also helps to keep the message of each image as clear as possible. It also helps people who do not suffer with the same feelings and emotions to understand the images more. 

I feel that It would be a good idea to contact the artist and ask her a few questions about her work, and see if she herself s suffers with the same mental illness or if she created herb work by examining other people and asking g questions, either way it would be really useful to know weather on not her research is personal or primary.

I really love how these images create understanding so easily, and they are beautiful, they are exactly the kind of images that I would like to produce for the adobe brief, because they seem to work so well with the subject.

I wanted to take a bit of time to move away from looking at books and images within books and the description that comes along with them. Instead I decided to go online and search around for other artists that have decided to transform emotions linked with anxiety and depression into an art form.

I have come across quote a few different websites were artists have done just that. The first really inspirational artists that I came across was an illustrator who lives with anxiety and depression just like myself and used his illustration skills to express what it feels like to live with these emotions 24/7.

I really love this artists designs, However I feel that I will plan to create something more natural looking and image based rather than an illustration, but still this artists designs give me so much inspiration towards my own designs. 

These designs even make me laugh at the fact that they are so relatable. The artist has really put an unexpected enjoyable spin on the above moods and emotions that are linked to anxiety and depression. As sadly funny this may seem it does give a sense of relief that someone else out there understands there same feelings. 

This is the same connection that I want to achieve with my designs. I would like people to look at them and feel a connection to the designs.
