viscom 1: 1 Gestalt

• analyzed the concept of having definition + photographs + graphic images
• I knew I wanted to make the definition+photo+graphic into a comprehensive puzzle that each tell more information
• Searched for engaging photographs for inspiration
• I wanted for my photos to suggest a background story and have the graphic images complement or mimic the photographs. 
• I organized my photographs into themes: 
• 1. Abandoned Crime Scenes
• 2. Surreal Situations
• 3. Portraits

DEFINITIONS
