Studio brief 1 - Final Design

This is my final design, which will be uploaded to Secret 7. This design is based around the sexual subtlety of Peter Gabriel Sledgehammer. Sledgehammers music video has a number of sexual references and sexual innuendos. The music video uses Play-Doh to subjectively ton down the weirdness and explicit scene of some sexual stuff. Taking the Play-Doh as the main inspiration. I wanted to sum up the weirdness of the whole video into one still image.

The hand gesture can be seen as a peace sign or a sexual reference (foreplay). Playing with 2 mind-sets will question the audience awareness and dirty mind, which is exactly what i was trying to achieve. The play-Doh emphasises the gesture and in a way glorifies it without making it to offensive, which Play-Doh does a great job of doing. Colour wise, I wanted the Play-Doh to be centre of the message. I increased the Hue to make the colour pop whist also adding vibrancy. The hand is slightly desaturated and so is the background, giving maximum attention to the Play-Doh.
