Ideas

My group has come up with a few ideas for how to photograph this idea of Education, and come up with a few good ideas styling-wise.

We have decided that we are going to have models showing the social networking site's particular stereotypes, which are :

Facebook - popular, slutty? - Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites. Everyone seems to have one, and in profile photographs and such, people always seem to dress quite provocatively. Also, people tend to care a lot about what they look like in photographs which are put on Facebook, as no one wants to look bad in any photos.

Myspace - Emo, rocker, musician?, individual? - Myspace was always used by the more "emo" stereotype of people when it was really popular a few years ago. People tended to have their own style. Now, Myspace seems to have become more about the musical side of things, having it's own record label and stuff, which would also fit into that category of emo / rocker style.

YouTube - Nerdy - I think we decided that YouTube was more of a nerdy website stereotype, based on the fact that it tends to be a lot more technical. People need to know how to work a video camera and usually edit their movies before they put them on YouTube, which makes it seem more nerdy than the other sites.

Twitter - Gossip, Celebrity - Twitter provides a lot of gossip about celebrities as a lot of celebrities have a twitter account and have "tweeted" outrageous things about people which other people would be interested in hearing. It educates people into the lives of celebrities.

Tumblr - Arty - Tumblr is somewhere where a lot of people share their art / photography / photoshopped images etc.

We're thinking of finding clothes to fit these stereotypes together. Each person in the group will have one area to look at finding an outfit for, but we will all give our own input on each of the outfits.
