Najla, p2 process/a,

Projest 2: Phase 3:
after taking the (100 pictures) and doing the exercise in class ,now i have to create 5 lifestyles from all class pictures.
We all know what a lifestyle is but i wanted to think about it more and see different definitions of lifestyle. I dont want to stick to what i already know.

resreach:

history - i was just curious to know: Lifestyle was originally created by Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler in 1929.
This term is used in: Politics, advertising and marketing, psychology and sociology.

Definition:
  • In sociology, a lifestyle is the way a person lives.
A lifestyle is a characteristic bundle of behaviors that makes sense to both others and oneself in a given time and place, including social relations, consumption, entertainment, and dress. The behaviors and practices within lifestyles are a mixture of habits, conventional ways of doing things, and reasoned actions. A lifestyle typically also reflects an individual's attitudes, values or worldview.

  • the lines between personal identity and the everyday doings that signal a particular lifestyle become blurred in modern society.[3]For example, "green lifestyle" means holding beliefs and engaging in activities that consume fewer resources and produce less harmful waste (i.e. a smaller carbon footprint), and deriving a sense of self from holding these beliefs and engaging in these activities.

Artifact: (archaeology), any object made or modified by a human culture, and later recovered by an archaeological endeavor
  1. Social artifact, a product of individuals or groups (social beings) or of their social behavior
  2. Cultural artifact, a human-made object which gives information about the culture of its creator and users

My next step is to make visual research

First we decided that all of our images are related to people in general. So our main category was people. From there, we divided it into four main categories, which are=house, technology, clothing and food. Our criteria for these categories was that they are the essentials for living.

Najla, P1.1 process


At the dots of the connected lines to each country there is a number and this number is in the right side of the circle with the country its suppose to point to.
I have to remove the names of the countries and the colors to have the final calendar.

Najla, P1.1 process


I made the months and the days in the same circle but seperated so its less confusing and easier to connect to the map in the middle.

Najla, P1.1 process


To reduce the numbers of the circle i created a big circle around the map and then i can connect each date with a line to its country.

2 circles: months + days - connect the month with the day and the country

Najla, P1.1 sketches


I reduced the number of numbers by putting the numbers of the months in one circle and reduced the number of days in the middle. I used the lines to connect the months with the days.

I feel like there are too much numbers that could be confusing ,so i am trying to replace the 12 months with circles and keep the numbers for the days.
For example, This is April, 1

I placed the circles in the map of the middle east. and for each date for each country theres a circle.

Najla, P1.1 sketches



1)I took the national days for countries in the middle east and tried to place them in the circles.
the circle are the months and the numbers in the circles are the days.

2)I removed the circles and just kept the numbers. I gave each months a color and each month
has its National days. But its confusing with every circle having all the days of each month

Najla, P1.1 sketches


Playin around with circles and trying to create a system by deviding the months
and the days. I had no specfic audiance or subject, because i tried deciding the audiance at the begining and i found it difficult to concentrate on the system itself and not my audiance.
So i was just playing around to figure out a system. I like the circles because i can experiment so many ways to devide the months, days and weeks.
