Brief: This brief asks you to explore the possibilities of design by reconsidering, redesigning and republishing one text into three (or more!) different visual perspectives in print and/or screen. The production of multiples aims to stimulate visual experimentation and risk taking. The different “voices” could reflect your personal, cultural or political opinion but could also allow you to develop a range of more subtle and/or extreme narratives and explore their impact.
The Text: Oedipus Rex
Perspective: Serial Killer
The tragedy explores the idea that one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it. Within the play Oedipus unknowingly kills his father and as a reader we take the stance that this event was an accident. My reimagining looks to convince the reader that Oedipus had full control of his actions and acted with intent.
