After considering how the media use headlines to manipulate and advertise, I decided to incorporate some of that idea into my practice. I wanted to shed light on the use of headlines within the media, and the structured techniques and methods used to manipulate.
I decided to make some satirical collages of headlines based around the medias use and the often ridiculousness of the content of the 'news', focusing on certain techniques. I wanted to create an almost 'how-to' of how to write headlines, so I chose to shed light on some of the obvious way headlines are used to snatch attention.
I wanted to keep the illustrative side of the project quite simple and naive as I wanted to reflect unsophisticated and childlike way in which the media created headlines. I think this works effectively and I will look to continue to keep this style, I think establishing this at this point is important as I can focus on the context of the images rather than trying to create 70 final images.
