The Seven Deadly Sins

I created a layer association chart based on what tyler mentioned in class today about the different layers of association regarding image. The other form is a scenery chart for mocking up / storyboarding my photographic composition in order as they would appear in the website.

Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride

Typography:

Garamond, or hand drawn typography. I believe that my concept of clean and simple compositions would be strengthened by a serif typeface like Garamond or my own take on something similar.

NARROWED DOWN CONCEPTS

• Remnants: A series of images based on the seven deadly sins. Each image would show the “remains” of the night before, or the aftermath of an event. At times small signs of people exiting the scene may be appropriate. For example a hand swinging at your side as it falls to your side as you exit a room.
• Animals to represent the sins: Gluttony would be a pig.  Anger could be a bear. Envy a domesticated animal like a dog. Sub-concept: People as animals? Masks? Props?
• Hands to represent the sins.  I would use hands interacting with other hands. Using some props such as knives etc.
• Use different kinds of foods to represent the different sins. If needed also in various states of decay.
• Paper craft: Creating abstract compositions that represent each sin.
• A versus concept: Pitting the sins against the virtues. I would use images depicting the struggle through interesting placement and interaction of objects. Lust:Chastity,  Gluttony:Temperance, Greed:Charity, Sloth:Diligence, Wrath:Patience, Envy:Kindness, Pride:Humility.
• (Might be too far off the path) Photograph: Book of Proverbs, it is stated that the Lord specifically regards "six things the Lord hateth, and the seventh His soul detesteth." Namely:

o   A proud look.

o   A lying tongue.

o   Hands that shed innocent blood.

o   A heart that devises wicked plots.

o   Feet that are swift to run into mischief.

o   A deceitful witness that uttereth lies.

o   Him that soweth discord among brethren

Photographic ConceptS

Photographic Concept: Different shades of color filters imposed over the image or cast in a colored light. For example: Anger could be red, and envy Green.

Photographic Concept: Possibly use a Polaroid camera, or cross processed images if I can get access to C-41 chemicals and slide film.
