Fine Art
This term of "fine art" is present more so in my head recently, along with the idea of visual communication, in terms of my piece of design I feel that the message is being communicated as a piece of fine art that acts to raise a point in a visual way.
By giving the project a name, I feel I run the risk of creating a one off piece that sits with a plastic box on a pedestal and is seen as a fine art piece. Not that I feel this would be wrong in any way, but it is an conflict of interest that is making me question how I have approached this work and how my essay on the theory has informed visual practice.
I feel almost as if I am making a stand or appealing for people to think in someway, I thought at one point that I would simply write an essay and then create a piece of design in the form of a book, however this has come further than I thought.
Although the final piece is not as highly finished as I would have liked, I believe that I have moved on a long way from how much I understand about my practice. I really care about communicating a message that I feel interested in which was not present through out the essay as much I thought it would.
The essay taught me about what sector and niche of design I want to focus on at level 06, and the product was simply a vessel that got me over the barrier between theory and feeling strongly about that theory and niche within design.
This is possibly what provides the link between graphic design as fine art or visa versa of my own personal practice.
