Mind Map
Below I have included my first set of ideas for this ‘Islandness’ personal study, this is a good visual representation of what topics come to mind when analysing the meaning of the word Islandness. Researching for the images meant that I began to think about what photographing all of these different topics would look like and helps me decide the topics I would like to explore in my personal study throughout my future project.
Mood Board
I have additionally created a mood board to illustrate some more images which relate to my mind map above, as these are some examples of different images which demonstrate the themes above. Furthermore, this is good as it shows how the different images look grouped together and helps me analyse which themes could even be merged together and linked up so that I can develop these ideas and make them unique to my personal study.
Future Project
Below I have created an additional mind map to illustrate my ideas for not only the theme of ‘Islandness’ but for my personal study, this is to help me think in depth about the ideas that will be the most manageable for my future studies. These are just my first ideas for my personal study so I may not even develop these ideas, this is just from looking at the mind map above and considering what ideas were my strongest work and the projects were the most enjoyable when creating my ‘Review and Reflect’ blog post.
I like that this mind map is simple and easy to follow, I have used images from my past projects to illustrate that I will take inspiration from my past projects and these will be heavily influential for my personal study. I think this is because I work better from adapting my older ideas and making them more detailed and complex. I like that I can use these images and recreate them, as having so many different types (final images and zines) and styles of visual inspiration means that I can just take out the parts of these topics/ projects that I am not interested in and maybe even combine them all together to attempt to create the most successful final project I can.
