About & ideas:


- inspiration from research on greek and roman ideals on beauty - more heavy through greek ideals


- a combination of greek and roman ideals on beauty


- The ideal of beauty for women was small, thin but robust constitution, narrow shoulders, pronounced hips, wide thighs and small breasts. The canon for the face was large almond-shaped eyes, sharp nose, medium-sized mouth and ears, oval cheeks and chin. Smooth white skin was very important for Roman women.


- greek titles with roman numerals


- use of colours relating to colour psychology and identity.


- playing around with brand names


 

critique from tutorial:


- use of historic figures such as gods, christ etc. can be detrimental.


- look into greeks value of virtue


- research into power?


 


Materials & process:


  • using adobe photoshop to create designs to be used for advertisement and garment design.

  • using select and mask and other editing tools to create a uniform design

  • development of brand identity

  • using free imagery from unsplash representing research on colour and greek ideology of beauty
