Van Jumper Design: Wk 2: Workin' On Degree Project Feedback

First the most adorable thing ever.

1. start looking into formal rules I can play with. this will be a large part of my project.

summarize entire songs/albums in one item
manipulation of a seemingly normal item to become "evil" For example Howlin' Wolf's "Spoon"

It could fill spoon full of coffeeCould fill spoon full of teaBut a little spoon of your precious loveCould had enough for me
Men lies about themSome of them dies about themSome of them cries about themBut everything fightin' about the spoonfulThat spoon, that spoon, that

manipulate type to show song themes. (to show angst, loneliness, love, debt, religion, melancholia)
collage always using a set number (1-100) of images for each artifact.
tell the story of a song in basic shapes, lines, planes of color, or repetition of a modular item
images that can be seen as two different things
rhetorical tropes
overlay of transparencies to create layers to create juxtapositions
work with sequence of layers and reveals to create narrative

2. how to get the point of sale? (getting this to kids)

i got to the blues through led zeppelin because i trusted them
jack white also talks a lot/ influenced by the blues, such as Son House & Reverend Gary Davis.
promote through a trusted person
through a timeline of how blues led to modern music
modern aesthetic revamp
interesting collectible swag
get to them really young/ during hormonal everything is horrible puberty
shown on t.v./ mainstream media

3. artifacts

4. locations

4. why do kids find this music inaccessible?

not mainstream/ nobody talking about it
not readily available/ not easy to just jump into
old people connotations
not exposed to the different types of blues/ only acquainted with the basic stereotypical guitar line
poor aesthetic portrayal
presentism

5. modern blues album covers (2012-2013)
