VISUWALLISE

In this session we discussed our separate traits to find out what we've got going for us in our groups. By writing about each other's traits rather than our own we were able to find out more, as then we could  find out what others see in us rather than what we think of ourselves. This was good because I'm quite self deprecating so I probably wouldn't have written anything good about myself! (Also I wrote Frazer's traits down, but I don't know Frazer very well so I found it a little difficult!)

My Good Points - By Frazer

•  Comic / Dramatic style
• Humour
• Drawing
• Talking/ Articulating
• Narrative
• Colour and shape
• Nerd

I agree about most of these points - People think I'm good at talking when actually I'm very nervous all of the time, sometimes I nearly cry just from talking to people (conceal don't feel) 

We started to think about where we'd like our work to be seen. Our business is based around wall art, so what establishments would we want our art on? Thinking ethically too like we wouldn't want to be doing work for the BNP or anything against our moral values. To quote Frazer "not seaworld, they're bastards" 

 

Places I could imagine my work on the walls are include

• Comic shops - Or other similar places 
• Niche/themed bars
• Cafe's
• WALLS - barriers for building works etc
• Temporary pieces for events - Conventions
• bookshops
• sweet shops?

To describe our business we each wrote Haiku's:

"Collective of five

together we will strive, to

Make walls come alive"

was mine but I hate it, Haiku's are so hard and this just sounds disjointed and just BAD in this context. Others had much better ones.
