*Reflective Summary - Survey Stories, Words & Images*

One of the most interesting aspects of my project so far has been the origin of images and the relationship they have with text. I feel like I have learned a lot about the subtlety of image making and how this relates to perception. As I proceed with the practical outcome, I want to compile stories from the survey responses. Therefore, my final outcome will be a story book, the written element of which came from the images themselves. Flipping the role of words and image changes the importance of them, but when sat side-by-side in a book, does a viewer know the difference? Arguably, an image is more striking and immediate when establishing a tone or sense of the narrative.

Including a red item of 'mis-placed' clothing seems to have been a catalyst for some of the interpretations I received, and therefore served its purpose as a symbol. When writing the short stories, these will certainly be emphasised in order to enhance the content of the narrative.
