Ideas:

Below are just some ramblings of ideas and notes I've been taking for image and brooch ideas...

- Influenced by Leanne Shapton's zine about 'Ex-girlfriends', want to create a narrative/zine with a similar idea.

- Interested in 'The Woman', brainstorm what I think when I think of women.

- Scanning found photos and taking 'old' worn textures from them. Put to the object of OLD and YOUNG. Think of other words for young and old. 'In one's salad days'/ 'Emerging' ....Antique Vintage-Contemporary

- The journey from young to old. Interest in New to Old - Objects and phrases connoting 'old'.

YOUNG: Drinking (Although this wasn't this way a few years ago...social attitudes have now changed).

OLD: Bingo

- Like Tina Berning - I could take old photos of women and producing narratives surrounding them and also old adverts I see.

- Woman pencil body. 'Shaping ourselves' - 'Fixing ourselves' - 'Female Fixes' (EYES)

- 'Survival of the FITTEST' - Loadsa HOT girlsss painted.

- 'Survival of the HIPPIST'

'Soul Shaping'

- Stories/narratives already exsisting which connote ugly as bad: The Ugly Duckling

- Silouette of OLD face and YOUNG face 'FACE OFF' .....'Leading Edge'

- Repeat of vintage mirrors with type over the top. Questioning Looking at yourself. 'You're only as young as you feel'

Mirror mirror on the wall: identify my imperfections

- Image on 'defining beauty' - Different breeds of things. 'zine'
