Is anyone else finding it difficult to keep their project short and to the point?
An issue within my own writing is I tend to stray to the longer end of the argument, preferring to round out my argument and cover all my bases. I’m finding this more difficult solely through image. While advertising relies on image to do the heavy lifting of the message we want to communicate, we have body copy to finish it off and drive our point home. While this is not always needed, for the most part it is there to some degree or another.
The problem here is I am working without body copy. In essence I have to make a point without words (which is the entire point of the project of course). This means I have to construct my images carefully, and since a picture says a thousand words, I have to be careful what words those are.
My point is, images can say so much we don’t intend for it to. And as a result, I have become extremely self-conscious of what I feel my images are saying the closer I come to the deadline.
Yet I am proud to say I have been making progress.
