Social Project - Binge Tanning Illustration
I want to create a mailout with a pretty girl illustrated on the front which I think would appeal to my target market (women interested in fashion, looking good). I want the mailout to open along the girl's nose line so you have to open her face to look at the information inside. Once open you will see the face again, but tanned, and it will fall out and dangle about, attached by a few threads with thw text "Binge tanning causes permanent, irreversible damage leading to premature ageing and significantly increases the risk of skin cancer."
Social Project - Binge Tanning
I have decided to do my social project on binge tanning.
Binge tanning, as it has been recently labeled by the media is a serious social issue that people do not seem to take very seriously. People go to the tanning booths thinking it will make them feel better about themselves, and we praise them for having a healthy looking glow. Then those same people continue to tan, and we then laugh at them for looking orange or leathery but we do not always think about the dangers of tanning. We do not know what the effects of tanning booths will have as the effects of tanning take 10 to 20 years to show. There are however specialists that believe they cause more damage than the sun, and we know the effects of sun damage; premature aging, sun spots, and skin cancer.
I have been looking into different ways of presenting the dangers of binge tanning. My first idea is to send out a pop-up mailout. The outside would look like a recognizable, welcoming stand up tanning booth. When you opened it you would reveal the pop-up spikes resembling an iron maiden. My second idea is about the notion of being overcooked comparing tanning to burnt food. My third idea would be a mailout in which you would get a sewing kit and peices of leather that would make up a face that would have to be stitched up.

Ink kisses Paper Print Techniques Project - Mussolini
The topic I got for this project is Mussolini.
I have researched Mussolini's life; where he grew up, his role in WWII, his influences on culture through various types of propaganda, his mistresses, and his violent death. I want to tell a story about who Mussolini was.
The selection of books I am producing will appear as if they are Mussolini's personal effects. Book 1 is covering Mussolini in WWII and will look like an old worn photo album. Book 2 is looking at Fascist propaganda and will be a large fold out poster of Mussolini. Book 3 will look like a stack of letters and is about Claretta Petacci, Mussolini's Mistress, and the love letters (something in the region of 600) that were found to be in her possession. Book 4 deals with how Mussolini's Ideologies influenced Italian fashion and will be incorporated into a green military style shirt.
