Polaroids (post#18)

Today, I’m actually quite happy because yesterday, I’ve been told that the idea of using polaroid to my work has got potential. However, instead of having my mural as 6 individual polaroid photographs...

In order to give it edginess and make it less formal, I’m still going to have this slightly broken up, then I’m going to have 5 polaroids stuck over it.

I think this idea is better than the one that I have before. When I was breaking it up as polaroids, I’m kinda losing its composition whereas with this one, it’s slightly broken up but still looks together.

With this idea, the polaroid photographs are not going to be replica of the mural. They’re going to be real photographs of people taken in and around Yo! Sushi Restaurant in London. So it kinda brings human element in. It would also probably be a great idea if I could find pictures of celebrities dining at the restaurant,enjoying a Yo!Sushi Party.

So it sort of saying, when someone comes in the Yo!Sushi, there will be staff from the restaurant who will take pictures of customers.

Looking at the above composition, it appears that these photographs will come as giants polaroids (same thing as the tacks). I think that's ok, because if I were going to have them as real ones, then I would give an impression that for every pictures taken will go to the mural. Then after 2 to 3 months, the mural would be covered up with lots of polaroids (and I don't want that).

I guess I'm just going to assume that somewhere in the restaurant there will be a place where they’re going to stick loads of pictures of people. Then from those pictures, Yo!Sushi staffs will going to pick out the best ones that will going to be enlarged and go onto the mural.

 

Another good thing about incorporating polaroids to my design is, I will be able to use them (the polaroids) when it comes to things like the direct mail, wine labels and menus.
