The Medium is the Message (Major Project)

This project was to describe aspects of your project theme and primary research made as a 'vehicle'. Where you had to visually describe and re-imagine your ideas using wonder as the design premise. My major project theme is Addiction primarily looking at obsessive driven addictions. Looking at OCD where I want to create a voice for the sufferers and the emotions felt by them. The book firstly is closed hiding the addiction from view in the same manner as those who hide these addictions from loved ones and friends. However when the book is opened it reveals the chaotic emotions felt. Panic attacks are heavily associated with Obsessive Compulsive disorder and I wanted to convey this through the metaphor of a sinking ship in a vortex drowning from the obsession. Also the symptoms of a panic attack include loss of breath in the same way as drowning in water. However I wanted to add the anchor and typographic rope showing these problems can be solved and the ship can be saved in the same way as those who suffer from OCD when they receive proper treatment.
