Project (2) Brief

This project requires to do a catalogue that depends on things used usually or in everyday life as a lifestyle. 
So The catalogue is not  looking as a catalogue of objects; but more of a catalogue of a lifestyle. 
This catalogue does not include special days as the previous projects, because the one of the catalogue purposes is introducing audience to a certain lifestyle, which is a method of everyday living is done. 
This project will take Five weeks !<-- dont  be Happy -_- " 
because you have to Organize your time and set the last week as the production week or you will be stepping behind. 
The number of pages and pictures depends on you concept and it will be developed during the process.
How to Do the Catalogue? 
come from different angles and aspects for the lifestyle; do not think of the lifestyle right away. 
Look deep into the artifacts, ex: if you are doing cars, look to tiers aspects for instance, to the numbers, the function of it , or who use this type of cars usually. 
While doing the catalogue and researching, try to avoid stereotype. 
Go look and observe artifact that people use and have. Look into details, ask people how do they look into this objects; what are their points of view?

Example:
If you are looking to a certain classification of artifacts such as clothing,  do not be narrow and look only to what is in your closet, go out, explore and diverse. 
This exploring and diverging exercise will help in learning how to observe one kind of artifact and search various types of this object. 
Example :   
if you are searching for something that you can sit on. 
It can be Sofa, regular chair, wood chair, etc.
The less plan you have to do your artifacts research is the better. 


What to do?
Take photographs for these five classifications: 
1- Cloth
2- food 
3- phones
4- Furniture
5- cars

and other five categories that you come up with. 

REMEMBER: 
The resolution of the images = 300 dpi/ TIFF/ CMYK/ 8x8 cm.
