Official Entry #6/Unofficial Entry #7 (Layout Options/Ideas for Thesis)



I finally gave some thought to thesis. But just the layouts, don't get too happy about it. hehe.
I honestly have no idea of what my photos will be about but i have read many articles and seen many galleries that i have chosen a few layout designs that i want to explore.  I first wanted my photos to be floating/hanging from the roof with transparent wire.  I want them showing images on both sides so people would interact and walk around them. I have always been interested in sculptures and think that having them floating would give them a sculpture-ish aspect.  But i know this idea might not work because glass is heavy and i don't want to use plastic, also, if it falls, glass might cut people.  Next i considered the diptych layout.  I would want my photos hanging in diptychs vertically, not horizontally. I'm hoping i could get a narrow wall that goes with the portrait modes of the photographs.
The images would be portraits on the left row and landscapes in portrait mode on the right row.  The right images would be toned and i guess i would want them vertically so as to coincide with the lines of the room.  Although i love square format, i think 35 mm format is much more effective in creating echo throughout the whole series.  I would still have them glass framed if they were to be wall hanged.  I hope to further this idea.
