This post covers my first and main final outcome of the ‘Variation and Similarity’ exam project.

As I intended to do I have produced my 38 inch x 48 inch postcard display which overall I am very satisfied with, I am happy with the fact that following my plan for this display, I have managed to produce exactly what I was planning to. Although I thought I may have to rearrange some of the prints from how they were composed on my plan, once I had set it up I found that actually it looked great as it was and so I left them in the same order as I had in my plan. The display successfully shows my outcomes in an unusual way and overall it is much more interesting than if I had just mounted or framed these prints up, as it really does show that I was going for a classic postcard aesthetic with a twist of my own. The way in which I have spaced apart different prints such as landscape/portrait, black and white/colour or front/back is very successful as although they appear to be randomly spaced this is what i was intending and was in fact harder to make the order look random as I had to think carefully about things vertically and horizontally when spacing everything apart. In my original project specification I stated that I would produce photographs surrounding the theme of chaotic imagery. I planned to do this by creating photo-montages, collages and edits in response to the artists and photographers and movements that I have researched. I said I would relate the work to the issues of overpopulation and capitalism which have and still continue to play a big part in the overpowered development of the world. And that I would photograph all kinds of things relating to this theme as rather than limiting myself to one specific subject matter this will not allow me to produce pieces with chaos as the main part. I also went on to state that these issues of overpopulation and capitalism are something which closely links Jersey with the rest of the world, through trade, immigration, politics and culture, planning to explore this link and how it has developed over time, looking at the past and how it has become the present. And then how the future may look in terms of these issues. This would be executed by the use of archival and found imagery mixed with my own purposed photographs through means of collage and montage. And overall in terms of how I believe this final display has come out I would say that I am confident in the fact that I’ve closely followed my specification and plans in order to produce something which reflects this to a full extent, along with my A3 print display.
