MuseumOfChildhood

Finally visited this place to get some primary research and sketches. Was actually a pretty good museum, so was sunbathing in the park next door.

LastWeeksToDo

Each week im writing myself a timetable of what i need to do and when to make sure i stay on track to completition before the EV comes.. suprisingly i did most of it last week and this week will be no exception!

PorcelainMakeup

Pinnoccio shoot 10th June

I was thinking for my shoot to have the makeup quite pale with rosy cheeks and crazy curls hair?

OR do i go all Comme Des Gracons and go really crazy and sinister with the makup?

MagCover!

So im going with the whole living doll theme of kids mag for adults and for my cover im thinking i take a headshot from my 'Pinocchio' shoot and use it on my cover but with my paper doll?

So it'd be laid out like an average magazine with the models face looking like a doll but the body would be my paper dolls instead im thinking something like this?

ALSO i've just found out i can get my magazine binded for some measly price at college all i gottas do is find somewhere that prints onto art paper! Go Me!

Paper Doll

Before i thought about doing a doll collection, now im thinking to make a collection from paper dolls and feature a doll template in my magazine?

ContextQuick

Before i bloody forget..

Idea: as dolls are given to children but not always meant for children..(Reborndolls/Chucky)
Mag: 'Childrens' magazine but very explicitly for adults, i.e Cindy Sherman

Inside:
Paper Doll Cut Out?
Games?
Photography?
Adverts?
DollHouse?
ComicStrip?

To Do: Look at Childrens Magzines & Other magazine layouts, i.e Vice Magzine(themed)

Living Doll: My Fake Baby

Weirdo old moms n barron women have like life reborn dolls to pass the time. 'Designer dolls' are sometimes made for parents dealing with the loss of a child to help them grieve?

Are dolls really meant for children?

Why do we give children dolls?

Why are dolls treated like real poeple?

GraysonPerry

I'm thinking with Perry, to stick to my idea of the living doll and bringing the doll to life.
Why is there an obsession of making dolls look so realistic?
Why do we have dolls?
Why are dolls given to children?
