The question is
Exhibition Space
Who is Luxury?
What is Luxury? “A state of great comfort or elegance, especially when involving great expense”
Inspiration My concept was to go question the term what is luxury. My aim was to create a photograph that would lead people to question what is the most important luxury item in life that we have. Living in Leeds you often come across many homeless people on the streets requiring help. This was the start of my inspiration. Capturing one photograph to create awareness for the homesless and to remind us whoever we are the biggest luxury in life is living. Shelter, warmth, food and water are our luxuries.
I decided to use a piece of cardbaord to write the message I am luxury. I would ask a man who was often sat out sainsburys with a dog whether he would be open to being in my photograph.

Seasonal Inspiration
Location and Space The front of the store in Trinity Leeds
The window display will be required to hold items from the store. The design must take into consideration the different sizes and weight of the items.
The unit must be able to stand independently.
Length of window display is 109cm The design for the window display unit requires to leave room for one standing manneqin.
Concept Shelving Design The shelving unit will be constructed from MDF board. The board will be 12mm thick and priced at ÂŁ15 per sheet. Blue Perspex will be used to cover a seclection of the hexagon shelving units.
Taking inspiration from the shape of snow flakes the window display team decided to look the shape of the hexagon and use this as a starting point in the process of building the unit.
The Build The shelves will be painted using a matt white which will require 3 coats for complete coverage. Mirrored vinyl will be applied to the back of the shelves that do not have the blue perspex on the font.
Selected shelves will be left open with no perspex front to allow for shop items to be displayed in. These selcted hexogons will be a range of sizes allowing for a number of the shops items to be used from purfume and shoes to shirts and biggers items such as their range of luggage

Looking at the diversity of young creative individuals I decided to look at the major social media platform off Facebook. Here is a platform that allows people to get in touch with different individuals of different genders, sexuality, race and age. I decided to use peoples profile photos and put them together this is where you can really see the diversity in young people today.

The TShirt Store has a wide selection of designers. The designs for TShirts rang from quirky hand drawn illustrations to simple yet effective straplines. Each designer has their own profile and style allowing for a large range of TShirt designs to suit everyones taste. The store allows for creativity in design and gives no restrictions.
TShirt Design I wanted to design a Tshirt that was a simple but quirky illustration. The design repressents a beef burger bur is in gold. I wanted to repressent a usual fast and cheap burger but in a luxurious way. The design could easily be applied to other fast food items such as french fries and pizza.

Derelict location
Quirky
Location The location of the graveyard was chosen as the inspiration of the film was to find somewhere quire derelict but somewhere that also offered a natural backdrop that could be incorporated into the film and photography.
The graveyard offered alot of objects to use in the film. The headstones offered platforms for photos. One acted as a platform for Larissa Drozd to crouch on for some of the photography. The natural elements such as the ivy, trees and blue bells offered a great backdrop and were used in filming footage. One shot would be Larissa running her hands through
