***Declared as FINALIST at SCAD Secession 2019

This project was a classroom project under the guidance of Professor Rhonda Arntsen in 'Ideation processes'. It started out by creating word maps. We were to draw immediate cognitive connections with three given words and then ultimately come up with a cohesive idea for a communication/deliverable.

MEDIUM
The medium of choice is a vinyl record (because of its sudden popularity among teens) that would reinterpret nursery rhymes into popular context, through juxtaposing them visually and semantically against pop music. The record would also have a QR code, linked to a curated Spotify playlist.

The music and the nursery rhymes chosen revolve around smoking, drug abuse, eating disorders, bullying, dealing with obesity, unprotected sex, and objectifying women, which are some important areas where the teen conscience stands questioned.
