as of earlier this week, i started up a Flickr account. (look for me-everquesting_knight or sara carr, whichever should lead you to me)

and along with the Flickr account, i also have to start on my main digital photography portfolio. *drum roll*

..............."the ultimate package design-FASHION"

as some of you know, about a year ago, i did an extensive research paper on package design and how the different colors of the packaging affects sale rates. that study got me interested in how to make packages and how to design them. for this year, my new love is fashion. one day when i was driving home i looked at a billboard and it reminded me of how the clothes we put on are like a billboard to the world about ourselves. and moreso, a package design that we use to sell ourselves to the people around us. just as there are different types of packages, there are different fashions and different times where certain fashions are more called for than others. also, sometimes we have to design the package around the product. (the body) and sometimes the product doesn't have any packaging but has a seal or stamp which makes it ready for sale. (nudes, piercings and tatoos.)

so that's my idea for my portfolio / artist statement. what i really would love to do (and this gets back to flickr) is make a book and not only include the photos but also do informal interviews with the models that i use. (1) how do you want people to see you. (2) what makes your fashion sense yours. (3) what kind of product are you trying to sell. (4) is that how people really get you.
one of the supporters of flickr makes books for really freakin cheap.
