Proposed Final Outcome Idea
My proposed final idea is to be presented in the physical form of a booklet. This outcome will be a guide to happiness, written for my future self.
Each page will consist of different thoughts, presented as guidelines which I believe will create happiness for me in the future, so long as I live by them. By looking to the future through the past, I will include childhood photographs capturing happy moments with family which I aim to re-live with a family of my own. Thinking about photographs and possessions has encouraged me to consider my past and how this has and will impact my future.
I aim to produce a digital form of the pages within the booklet, presented as a showreel. With a continuously developing world of technology, this will enable me to access this guide in years to come digitally.

Finding Old Photos/ Memories
I have gathered old photographs from my childhood which have triggered happy memories. These memories, spent with loved ones, are something I wish to take into the future. I have photographs with my parents, who I consider to be role models. I would like to include these within my booklet as I wish to have children in the future who consider me to be the same.

Laser Cutting Imagery
I engraved a raster image using the laser cutter onto 3mm MDF and 2mm mount board. I created these initial samples to test out the visual outcome of this technique.
The idea of me using this process, is to embed the image of my Grandma onto a material, just like my memories of her are embedded into my mind.
The image turned out a lot clearer when engraved onto the mount board rather than the MDF. I like the effect that this technique gives as it makes the image look quite old-fashioned. This therefore makes it obvious that it is an image from the past.
I will experiment and develop this idea further.
