When in the process of making my first mood board I thought of My Generation as in the decade I grew up in- the 90's and regathered knowledge from what I grew up around. The famous TV shows being 'Recess' 'Powerpuff Girls' 'Rugrats' and shows such as 'Fresh Prince' 'Boy meets world. All these image represent my childhood and as part of my photography I could react all these shows or cartoons as a carbon copy. This Mood Board in comparison to my second Mood Board shows how society has moved on or ever gone back in time and started the same trend e.g. jelly shoes. I believe the idea of having this mood board representing my childhood makes this project personal to me which I will work on to make it a strong project.
My Second Mood Board is a representation of 'My Generation' in the 21st century, which also links well with my Brainstorm added at the start of my blog. This collage shows the most common things teenagers in today's society associate with the most, the idea of 'Drugs' has became a major issue whilst I was in school, as I had never been in contact or known anyone with issues related to drugs. Most teenagers have this dream of 'travelling the world' 'bucket list' and 'becoming famous'- its what social media refer to as 'a typical teenager.' Social Media has sweetened the idea of 'Self Harm' and 'Suicide' and making us believe that it is 'ok' because the internet says 'millions do it.' We live in a society where we have to ruin ourselves to 'fit in' reference to the image of a jar saying 'New boobs.' The images of the Elderly woman reconnecting with her youth and the Cake is showing how we're growing up so fast- in comparison to years ago when cakes had 'Happy Birthday' candles. That is the direction I would want to go with my project, the idea of people wanting to grow younger..again.
