Seven Sins Project

Brief

Create seven images exploring how you think the Seven deadly Sins fit into the 21st century.

Using the traditionally accepted seven deadly sins as your starting point show your understanding of how sins and sinning play a role in our modern. Written captions and text can be used but only to enhance the images, you need to develop ways to make this appropriate to the image as opposed to a ‘just stuck on look’.

You will need to brainstorm ideas in the form of notes, doodles, thumbnail sketches, storyboards, photocopies etc.

Think laterally, outside of the box. Don’t settle on the one solution, think of different ways to overcome the problem and try not to do the obvious.

The final solution must include some form of photography (digital or processed). You can photocopy, manipulate and collage your photography. It is up to you if you want to include type and hand drawn features, but make sure you experiment with different materials, ideas and outcomes as this will alter the communication of the image. The images can be any size larger than A5, either portrait or landscape but your choice must remain consistent throughout. You can use black and white or colour. Think about using different ways to get colour i.e. colour photocopies, paper, materials etc. You will also have the opportunity to use the computers and use your Photoshop skills to enhance your images.

You need to be able to back up your final piece with research, generation of ideas, development of ideas and a written evaluation.
