Colors

This magazine was almost a must read(or at least check it out) while I was attending University. Together with the polemic ads produced by Oliviero Toscani for the Italian label “United Colors of Benetton” we used to spend some time analyzing them…all those provocative sometimes censured photographs of Toscani…The years went by and my interest for ads passed through some ups and downs…. Now, researching for my Thesis I`ve just remembered! Toscani used to use only photographs in Benetton´s campaigns! Google…after some clicks…Colors. The magazine. Online Projects that are simply amazing! Each topic a new hot-site. Definitely inspiring as I my intention is to talk about mass media and society. The link to one of the topics I found very interesting!!

Monoculture.… “The American word “OK”, (meaning approval or agreement) is the only word known by more people worldwide than the word “Coke”, according to Coca-Cola Company.”…. and more “amazing” facts. or almost facts….check it out!

Brainstorming – part 1

Back to Carroll´s books… I´ve just decided to concentrate my visual metaphors or inspiration in two topics: food (eat+drink) and identity. Both of them I have as challenge to myself to translate them in a visual work. Photographic working dealing specially with mass media+uses of photography and implications in our life. How I develop this? well, I´m still working on it. Brainstorming… My great challenge is to make a consistent visual(photographic)work but present it in an interesting way… Creative process: very chaotic…. reading, re-reading, doing it again and over and over…Going to Art Galleries, talking to creative people, observing, photographing…. First feasible ideas are just popping-up in my head..but only when it is all ready I can make it public, of course!

Going down the Rabbit-Hole….Seeing through the Looking Glass….Moving on!
