I began this concept board with the intention of creating a feeling. I started to develop that theme by choosing a color scheme. My original thought was blue, whites, bright, and relaxing. After I thought about blue, I started to think that this was too “down” and depressing and decided to do something a little brighter: green. Once the theme was decided I then decided to look for a few quotes since I thought the language would help me decide on images that reflected those feelings and ideas.
Once selecting my quotes I started to think through idea’s of things that I want to be incorporated into my quarantine time. I wanted the image to reflect these ideas and concepts but not actually show a person doing them. I was sure that there would not be any faces on the concept board as there was something creepy about that to me (aside from the baby). I tried to balance the composition by making some images larger than others, and putting bolder colors in separate areas. The layering was meant to create a sense of change and evolution. The thing that bothered me with my concept board was there was no outrageous, unique idea on there. I think as I move through this process I will do my best to push myself to think outside even the concept board. In terms of the actual content of my board, I tried to chose things that were realistic for me to do over the next few months but also things I don’t think I do of enough yet.
