More Editing and Potential Outcomes?

 From the last bits of development using the photocopier and so on, I then decided that perhaps another element could be composed into the images. The answer was photography, so I went out and took some pictures round Manchester, keeping reference to the keywords: isolation, sedation, self-delusion, and propaganda. Seeing as I want to contemporize Brave New World, photography seemed the best method in which to portray this because it instantly communicates a period in time. I took pictures of bus stops and street signs to reflect this. I also took pictures of natural elements too in order to communicate the sense of detachment society feels with it due to the dependence on advancing technologies.

Anyway, here are some more edits incorporating photography and even subtle use of text:

 The photos have indeed proved effective in communicating what I want to say. They contribute both graphic and illustrative features, like the trees for instance against the boldness of the silhouetted profile. Working in negative also brings to light this sense of conditioning and delusion witnessed in the novel, with the hypnopaedic process used to brainwash the public in their sleep. This relates very much to advertising and media as whole in how it influences our lives. The use of text can be seen also within the images, highlighting traits of individual thought and feeling, which are denied and looked down upon in the novel. The general, playful process which is being undertaken (layering of elements) as well reveals that life is a complex ordeal, which revolves around the psyche of the self: the catalyst of what makes you 'you'.
