Freud's Iceberg Model

Freud's Iceberg model represents the configuration of the mind.
In the model, there are 3 levels of the iceberg (the consciousness). 
  • Conscious (small): Part of the mind that you are aware of. Contains the thoughts and perceptions you experience in daily life.
  • Preconscious (small-medium): Ordinary memory such as knowledge or memories. Can be brought into the conscious. 
  • Unconscious (enormous): The part of the mind that is not accessible to the conscious (awareness). This stores the feelings about urges. anxiety, conflict and pain. They influence all of our actions. It also holds the Id, ego and superego. 
    • Id: Functions the basic needs and feelings of the mind. (Too much = self-gratification and the uncaring of others).
    • Ego: Develops the awareness that you cant always get what you want. (Too much = extremely rational but cold and distant).
    • Superego: the moral. Stores and enforces the rules and strives for perfection. (Too much = feels guilty all the time and be saintly).

Fine Art Photography - Editing Photos

Image
When I took my photos, I decided to edit them in Photoshop. I decided I wanted to edit them rather than keep them as they were because adding colour onto photographs that already contain colour wouldn't give me the contrast I wanted in my photographs. I also wanted my pieces to focus on only one colour that would represent the emotion associated with the music that it gives to the subject when they listen to it. The colour would also represent the emotion that they feel if the song reminds them of a certain memory.  To begin, I wanted to change the saturation of the photograph by -100, making it transform from colour to grey scale. I feel adding the grey scale will allow my piece to be in the background and not focused on when I add the colour onto the piece. It also increases the contrast and allows the person to focus on the particular colour, meaning that the connotation surrounding that colour would be obvious to the person viewing the piece.  While looking back...

Final Piece Preparation - Mock Final Piece

Image
To prepare for my final piece, I have created what I feel is a sample of the final piece idea I had in mind.  With this mock final piece, I have experimented with composition of the photos as well as the background of which I feel will make the photographs stand out the most as a piece.  For my photographs, I felt the best composition was similar to a sound wave. This is because sound waves are the focal point for my piece, being what my entire project is based on for the lines and colours. To further bring sound waves into my piece, I have made the photographs themselves as a large sound wave that further emphasises the importance of sound waves, and how they songs effect everyone's thoughts, memories and emotions in life.   I have made the photographs different sizes as I feel it helps emphasise certain photographs. As well as this, it makes the piece seem much less flat and repetitive, as it makes different photographs all unique, with different tech...
