Description of idea

Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the festival outlines:

This work explores the idea of pleasure in today's society and how metaphors can be repurposed and changed over time. The once traditional male/female relationship is no longer the only socially acceptable path available. Many people have chosen other relationships that work for them, and this idea is becoming more socially accepted as normal forms of pleasure.

What kind of communication approach do you use?

I use visual communication and image appropriation to display a metaphor in a new way, one that takes old concepts and repurposes them for a different audience.

What are in your opinion concrete benefits to the society because of your communication?

It allows viewers to understand new points of view related to relationships and pleasure in the modern world.

What did you personally learn from creating your submitted work?

I learned a lot about how society views pleasure and repurposing imagery and metaphors for new uses.

Why is your work, GOOD communication WORK?

It repurposes a well known metaphor to explore new ideas in pleasure and relationships.

Where and how do you intent do implement your work?

I intend to implement my work through class as an example of an editorial image on a website.

Did your intervention had an effect on other Media. If yes, describe the effect? (Has other media reported on it- how? Were you able to change other media with your work- how?)

no, I don't believe so, but it may have an affect on other media if used in a new way (printed, via web, etc).
