Shafiq: Creative Brief & Mood Boards

Swept Up|A Sporadic Collection of History

I was kicked out of my office, due to the silly incoming-freshman "ghost tours" happening tonight. So I'll be typing out the summary of why I picked each particular element in the blog's text box.  I have decided to title it Swept-Up because of the life of a dust bunny ends when it is swept-up. Swept-up also indicates that these pieces of inanimate objects were also brought together on their own without anyone purposefully moving them. Basically, dust bunny's are our own owl pellets. They can be reconstructed to show how time has passed. 

Edit: Spelling on thoroughly*.

 I chose these colors for my title because a general dust bunny consists of these colors. I plan on doing my title in actual dust bunnies, so these colors will automatically blend together. 

I chose classically elegant serif typefaces to juxtapose the grittyness of dirt. This is to help further illustrate that "book/story/personified" feel I will be showing of the dust bunny. I'm still wanting to explore other typefaces as well. Still wishing I wasn't kicked out of my office at the moment. 

My imagery mood board is very general, as I still have to come up with the content of each dust bunny. For now I have put the most basic imagery in order to explain my main point. What I will be doing is making dust bunny's that will each represent a certain archetype. For example, if I was going to do a 16 year old girl's dust bunny, it would include lots of hair, threads from colorful clothes, bobby pins, lint, fuzzy stuff from socks, paper, and whatever small things that collect and grow together in that specific area. The background of the dust bunny will resemble the same back drop of a year book to further that "portraiture" feel.
