Black and White

photo, crossword, newspaper, dice, mime, prison, zebra, stripes, scrabble, grainy, jay-z, the beatles, checkers, chess, penguin, tuxedo, licorice, skunk, yin yang, football, bar code, skull and crossbones, pirate flag, piano, cow, clockwork orange


The Black and White concept is a more simple straight forward solution. It may be a little too safe. Though just about anything could be done with black and white and it has a crisp, clean feel and if done well could look quite stylish.

I worry about a lack of total colour, but I assume the work would provide that compliment.

My initial thinking behind this idea was in relation to what Mariana said about thinking of a way to direct people ... An idea I had was to put a massive design of a crossword on the floor of the space, somehow utilizing the words within to provide direction to different sections of the exhibit? In terms of style of work?

Also in terms of any kind of 'dress' ... black and white is a pretty straight forward solution.

Again, it was just an idea I wanted to put down on paper. I will attempt to draw some pictures as a complimentary visual when I have a little more time.


This is a very rough sketch of what I had in my head for the crossword idea: (from above)

  1. I think we could mix these four last concepts together:

    Black and white/ your photo/ I'm complex and crossword. I can explain tomorrow in class.

    I know that it sounds like too much going on but might work.
