Home Town Pictures + Theme

Today I went to take photos of my hometown Ħaż-Żabbar. After scouting the area, I realised that there is a common theme with the area. Long roads and also long sidestreets. After photographing multiple shots of these roads, I went home and analysed each until I found the best ones.


These are the seven photos that I ended up choosing. They capture the essence of the long road idea that I wanted to capture. Through a mind map, I came up with a series of words to come up with my initial theme. With this technique, I came up with the theme 'The Future'. 

This theme came about because of the long and narrow roads photographed in the pictures I chose. These long roads gave me the idea of the long and baPle ahead in one’s life, and therefore the theme came into fruition.

Although this was different from what I wanted, it was a step in the right direction. The third draft was getting closer to the final product. The question mark taking up the whole page was my favorite so I knew I wanted to change that. The final draft was the best version out of all the sketches I had done however, I wanted to change a bit of layout one more time. After adding a few touch-ups, this is the version that I came up with for the two-page spread. The orange colour was inspired by the colour pallet that I had created. I wanted to use a colour that fits the theme the best. The bold text was used to draw attention to the readers on what the topic is about. The photo ...

Second Presentation

Throughout the presentation, I showed my sketches and my storyboard. I explained the reasoning as to why I did not choose certain sketches as my final drafts.  I also explained why I chose the colours that I used in my sketches and why I chose those particular pictures and symbols. I explained the narrative of the storyboard and how it relates to my theme. I also said that my visual will be the filming of this storyboard.
