MAGCD Elva Category: Methods of Translating
Due to time constrains and perhaps a limited scholar aptitude, I abandoned the idea of a video essay, which was encouraged in the last tutorial, and instead I made a video montage of researched footage about pink fashion:
A to Z
Bright Pink
1937 – 2022
Material chosen to work with on this brief:
A single colour story of the book The Secret Lives of Colour by Kassia St. Clair (2016)
The colour story: Shocking Pink
⭐︎ Feedback :
• Add to the history, write it in your point of view, critique it, etc.
• Reconfigure its meaning
❤︎ References :
• Valentino AW2022 Pink Collection
• Vox Media timeline visual essays
• BBC The Century of the self :
Part 1, “Happiness Machine”
• A rough sketch for design criticism, Jarrett Fuller
☞ Next :
• Make a video-essay
☾ Reflections :
• Going home I thought: what about if I do a gender-neutral fable about pink? A story for children, since Pink was originally a colour for boys. – Something to consider or to add into the video-essay, but, I think someone has already done that children book.
• All references I was given in class were very interesting and particularly enjoyed Jarrett Fuller’s one. Thanks.
