- David Fincher- look at opening sequence for Seven, creepy inside the mind of a serial killer aesthetic, hand written type and obsessive notes
- the shining "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", writing on walls and typewriter aesthetics could be effective
- ransom note research, Jon Benet, cut and stick from magazines, courier font
- might have to do a focus group on taste as this subject matter, if not handled correctly, could stand to offend some people
- look at Lore and Case File as podcast resources
- amend proposal as if you're working directly with podcast as your client, if its MFM you could put a positive spin on it and do "how to stay alive guides" "how to spot a psychopath etc"
- look at Jon Ronsons psychopath test, Robert Hare scale and list could be useful!
Amendments I will make to my proposal:
- I plan to work with true crime podcast My Favourite Murder to design a range of merchandise including mugs, stickers and a zine that can be sold on their website to represent them as a podcast.
- to begin doing this I will make 4 main images that could work on their own or be used as vignettes on smaller products
- I will include their overall feminist standpoint on true crime as a part of this merchandise, championing the idea of "stay sexy and don't get murdered"
- I aim to make something positive and enjoyable out of a subject that is decidedly harrowing. I will not at any point be glorifying the murderers or what they did
Aims and goals for this brief:
- I'd like to push myself to create darker work with a funnier edge. Black comedy will be central to this project
- Also want to work with screen printing again as I think its a great way for me to simplify my images slightly but achieve a textural, dark, interesting aesthetic
- Work with a limited colour palette to give my work a clear and decided visual tone and make it instantly recognisable as true crime merch
