Meet The Editor

When set this brief, i felt a little worried- editorial work is my least favourite thing to do as I cannot think conceptually at all. I picked the New Statesman Brief- Eleven Sleepless Nights. I wanted to portray that same feeling of hopelessness in my work as the article described, as it is a familiar feeling to most people who have been in the same situation,  including myself. I tried to show this through the silhouetting, the colour palette, and the dreary composition.

My thoughts on it are-
-  First and foremost- it doesn’t feel like my work. I am not proud of what i have made, and i don't think it suits the brief much at all- the image feels passive, which is not what the article was about. The details like the clock are unnecessary and i didn’t really consider composition or content a lot.
- The bed motif is too obvious
- I didn't really have much inspiration for this- i struggled to think of a visual way to represent the struggle of insomnia and come up with something boring and not authentically me.
