visual communication practice
Description of idea
Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the
festival outlines:
In this modern world we live in, many food production companies started injecting chemicals in their products. Many consumers are not aware of this fact, so in my composition i try to highlight this issue and get people to think about what does their food contain. I created a fine-dining setting and put chemicals instead of the meal. The plate-cover revealing adds an element of surprise for the audience as they don't except the outcome.
What kind of communication approach do you use?
Photograhy
What are in your opinion concrete benefits to the society because of
your communication?
I believe that i created an effective composition for the audience, in the sense that makes people think of what they actually eat, and what does their food contain. And hopefully, this thinking leads to taking an effective action.
What did you personally learn from creating your submitted
work?
By creating the piece i submitted, i have learned that there are many problems in the world that people are not aware of. And i have also learned that change starts with individuals.
Why is your work, GOOD communication
