Although I loved brusho I felt for this topic collage allowed me to put across a message more effectively. Firstly I took some pictures of myself (as seen as the top of this picture) in traditional Geisha dress. I decided these would be best to use in my main piece as secondary images wouldn't allow me to reference my personal journey to Japan and my feelings toward to rapid decrease in the Geisha culture. The ripped coloured background, whilst first be focused as aesthetically pleasing, can show how colourful and varied the life of the Geisha is. Whilst describing my topic to people, they labelled Geisha as 'prostitutes', something that no doubt is offence to rich Japanese tradition. The varied opinions of Geisha's was again something I wanted to develop.
The biro drawing allowed for a simplistic design that didn't clash with the bright background. It also was able to remain subtle, something I thought worked well.
